Fall is rough on vehicles in ways that don’t always show up right away. Rain and mud get tracked into the cabin, gravel gets thrown against exposed bodywork, and wet leaves collect in places nobody thinks to clean until spring. Add a few weekends hauling firewood or driving down muddy back roads, and there’s plenty of opportunity for unnecessary wear.
Ford sells accessories that help keep some of that mess under control. From wheel well liners to bed covers, these upgrades protect areas that take a beating when the weather turns. Here are seven worth looking at before the fall driving season gets any worse.
1. Ford Bronco All-Weather Floor Liners
Anyone who’s driven a Bronco off pavement knows how much dirt can come back inside. Mud sticks to boots, gravel gets caught in shoe treads, and one rainy afternoon can leave the carpet looking like it’s been through a full weekend on the trails.
Ford’s Bronco All-Weather Floor Liners give that mess somewhere to go. The molded thermoplastic elastomer liners cover the front and rear footwells, catching mud, water, and loose debris before it works into the original carpeting.
They’re removable, too, so cleaning them generally means pulling them out and washing them down rather than spending an afternoon scrubbing the floor. That’s especially handy if your Bronco doubles as both a daily driver and a weekend trail rig.
2. Ford F-150 Rear Wheel Well Liners
Your truck’s rear wheel wells catch a constant spray of whatever the tires pick up. Gravel, road grime, mud, and standing water all get thrown into those areas, especially on wet roads and unpaved driveways.
Ford’s F-150 Rear Wheel Well Liners provide an extra layer of protection around the rear wheelhouses. They’re made from molded, heavy-duty material and help shield exposed surfaces from the debris kicked up during everyday driving.
They’re also an easy way to make the wheel wells look more finished, particularly on trucks where painted body panels are visible behind the rear tires.
The kit includes liners for both sides, along with mounting hardware. Ford says installation doesn’t require drilling or removing the wheels.
3. Ford F-150 Hard Folding Tonneau Cover
An open pickup bed is great until you need to carry something that shouldn’t get soaked. Tools, luggage, camping equipment, and bags of supplies can all end up sitting in rainwater if the weather changes halfway through a drive.
Fortunately, the RealTruck Advantage Hard Folding Tonneau Cover helps keep rain and road debris away from whatever you’re hauling. It uses aluminum-alloy panels with a textured black finish, and the padded seals help limit water getting into the bed.
You can fold the cover back when you need access to the cargo area or when you’re hauling something too tall to fit underneath it. When it’s closed, it also keeps your gear out of plain sight.
Keep in mind that even a good tonneau cover isn’t completely waterproof. Heavy rain or water getting past the seals can still leave the bed damp, so delicate cargo should be protected separately.
4. Ford Bronco Cargo Area Liner
The back of a Bronco can get messy in a hurry. Wet camping gear, muddy hiking boots, a dirty cooler, or a dog that’s just finished running through puddles can leave the cargo floor covered in grime.
Ford’s Bronco Cargo Area Liner covers the rear loading area with a molded surface that’s easier to clean than the original flooring. It’s designed to resist common chemicals and UV exposure, and its skid-resistant surface helps keep cargo from moving around as much.
The biggest advantage is how little effort it takes to maintain. Once it gets filthy, pull it out, wash it with soapy water, and let it dry before reinstalling it.
That’s a lot more appealing than trying to clean dirt and spilled liquids out of the cargo floor itself.
5. Ford F-150 Bed Mat
A truck bed is supposed to get used, but that doesn’t mean every load needs to leave another scratch behind. Firewood, lumber, toolboxes, and camping equipment can scrape across the bed floor whenever you accelerate, brake, or take a corner.
You can avoid this with a Ford F-150 Bed Mat, which puts a thick layer of reinforced synthetic rubber between your cargo and the bed itself. It’s designed to resist cracking and breaking, and the material gives heavy items a less abrasive surface to rest on.
A mat also makes sense if you’re regularly hauling dirty gear. You can remove it for cleaning instead of trying to scrub around every groove and corner of the truck bed.
Ford offers versions for 5.5-foot and 6.5-foot beds. The mats can be used with spray-in bedliners, but they’re not intended for trucks with drop-in liners or other accessories that occupy the bed floor.
For anyone who regularly uses their F-150 to haul yard waste, building materials, or weekend equipment, it’s a straightforward way to help reduce wear.
6. Ford Bronco Spare Tire Cover
The spare tire hanging off the back of a Bronco gets exposed to the weather whether you drive the vehicle or not. It sits in direct sunlight, collects dust and road grime, and gets soaked every time it rains.
The Ford Bronco Spare Tire Cover gives that tire a layer of protection against UV exposure and everyday weathering. It’s made from heavy-duty vinyl with reinforced stitching and uses a hook-and-Velcro tether system to help keep it in place.
The cover is also designed to accommodate the Bronco’s rearview camera, which is important when you’re fitting anything around the rear-mounted spare.
It won’t replace routine tire inspections or prevent all forms of aging, but it does keep the spare from sitting completely exposed to sun and grime year-round.
7. Ford F-150 SuperCrew All-Weather Floor Liners
Work boots and wet carpet are a bad combination. Every time someone climbs into your F-150 after walking through mud, gravel, or a rain-soaked parking lot, some of that mess ends up on the floor.
So, instead of resigning yourself to cleaning your footwells out at the end of the season, you can pick up Ford’s F-150 SuperCrew All-Weather Floor Liners. They’re molded to cover the front and rear footwells, and their raised, tray-style construction helps contain water and dirt, while the textured surface provides grip underfoot.
They’re particularly useful in a truck that regularly carries passengers, work crews, or kids. Instead of letting mud settle into the carpet, you can pull the liners out and clean them separately.
The three-piece set also covers the rear floor area, where muddy shoes and spilled drinks can be just as much of a problem as they are up front.
