How to Buy Quality Mudguards/Mudguards

For trucks and SUVs that actually drive off the sidewalk, dirt and water can be a threat. When driving through puddles, dirt roads, or off-road, water, mud, sand, and other debris can splash out from under the wheels. This covers the sides and back of the vehicle, but can also be a problem for any vehicles following you. A set of quality mudguards/mudguards is the answer.

There are several things to consider when comparing your mudguard/mudguard options, including material thickness, overall weight (and any emblems or embellishments that add weight), and overall styling. Of course, you need to make sure they are for your vehicle.

Here are a few things to consider when choosing new mudguards for your vehicle:

  • Correspond: Mudguards are made for a variety of makes and models, but you'll need to make sure the kit you're considering is the right size for yours (you won't be able to fit a Yukon-specific kit on a Chevy S-10, for example).

  • Materials: Most mudguards and mudguards are made from heavy duty rubber and are designed to hang freely under the vehicle. However, some of them are made of hard plastic. They are shorter and tend to have less embellishment or designs.

  • The weightA: The weight of the mudguards/mudguards you choose is an important factor as it affects performance. The heavier the mudguard, the more resistant it will be to rear impacts, allowing water, mud, sand and other debris to splash past it. Metal emblems can add even more weight and stability.

  • Style: Adding mud guards/mudguards can also be a great way to personalize your vehicle. You can choose from several designs, from model-specific information (F150 for your Ford truck) to patriotic emblems and more.

A mudguard kit will protect your paint, protect vehicles behind you, and help add style to your truck or SUV.
