Just looking for opinions about keeping or removing the factory mud flaps. I notice a lot of Frontiers don't have them.
Sounds like a trip to the dealer if it were me - I have 5200 on mine and no issues like that. I assume (it better) that would be covered under warranty?Apparently, my passenger front side decided to take itself off already. I haven't even been off road yet and only have 3500 miles on the truck.

@Archer22 is right! If you do not offroad, then you do not need them. If you do offroad, then get better ones because the OEM are not the best. My new 2016 CC 4x2 S Fronty comes with some tiny ones and I am planning to leave them. Why? Because I do not offroad. If I take them off, then there will be a gaping hole waiting to rust and cause problems in the long run.
Same with me. I live out in the country and anything off of my driveway is considered to me as off road. I got a whole bunch of dirt, pebbles, logs, dips, twigs, dead animals, etc in my yard and to me that is all off the road.I refer to the term "off road" in the most literal sense; I mean, when you are not on a ROAD. Cattle pasture, hay fields, drainage ditches, rock gardens, sand dunes, etc. etc. If you drive on a surface, not intended as a "road" you are "off roading". That is not to say some fire roads or gravel roads aren't treacherous, but it still has the word "road" in it so I don't count it.
If it's a fire road/gravel road with a ton of obstacles and is really technical, I'd call it a poorly maintained road, not "off road".
My truck came with them... and my truck is a 2014 SV 4x4 VTP.anyone notice the front rear plastic flaps or aerodynamic things that you see in the frontier brochure? they go in front of the rear tires. on my truck i can even see the holes where they would connect....but none of the trucks come with those and they aren't an option? is that just something for outside the usa market or something? would it help your mpgs? you can see them in these pics.
Weird hahah - I had to return some stuff at the dealership after work today, and the few I looked at near where I parked had them.none of them here have them. not a single truck on two nissan dealer lots. :laugh:
maybe they took them off in 2016 or 2017?
they aren't on the trucks in youtube videos about frontiers either.
