These are exterior body components designed to extend outward from the wheel wells of the specified vehicle model year. They serve both an aesthetic and a protective function, adding to the truck’s overall appearance and shielding the vehicle body from road debris.
The inclusion of these components can significantly alter the vehicle’s visual appeal, contributing to a more aggressive or rugged look. Furthermore, they offer practical protection by minimizing the impact of mud, rocks, and other elements thrown up by the tires, thereby preserving the paint and bodywork. The design and availability of these features may also reflect evolving consumer preferences and regulatory standards regarding vehicle dimensions and safety.
