Mud, tar, dust, salt, rocks, motor oil and more – all of these things are all over the roads you drive on (and if you’re not careful they’ll end up on the tail end of your truck or SUV). Not only is it a mess to have mud on your tailgate, more corrosive materials like rock salt will actually start to strip away your paint and heavier objects like rocks and pebbles could make permanent dents or crack glass. But when you install a set of mud flaps on your hitch or wheel wells, you can spin your tires all you want and stop the sediment dead in its tracks.

There are a ton of mud guards on the market – front mud guards, rear mud guards, some metal, some rubber, some mount to a receiver hitch, some mount to you wheel wells, and this is just to name a few. With so many mud stoppers out there, it can be difficult to find the perfect set for your make and model. That’s why at Auto Accessories Garage we’ve decided to make things easy. We took a look at our customer ratings, reviews, and sales data in order to create our take on the Top 10 Best Mud Flaps of 2023.

Jeremy S who drives a Toyota Pickup says:

Look like they would work great. Only used a couple of times and maybe I need to do some adjusting, but I am still getting some rock craters in my tailgate from deflections off of my dump trailer. Otherwise, relatively easy to install but takes some time due to all of the small parts. If I can get the adjustments made before I run out of touch-up paint, should be a nice and useful product.
