These components are protective barriers mounted behind the wheels of a specific pickup truck model. Manufactured by the vehicle’s original equipment manufacturer, they safeguard the truck’s body from mud, rocks, and other road debris thrown up by the tires. As an example, consider a 2020 model; these components would deflect contaminants, helping to maintain the vehicle’s finish.
The inclusion of these protective parts is vital for preserving the truck’s paint and preventing corrosion. They can extend the lifespan of the vehicle’s lower body panels by minimizing damage from everyday driving conditions. Historically, such protective measures were less common, leading to faster deterioration of vehicle exteriors. The incorporation of these parts represents a proactive approach to vehicle maintenance and preservation.
