Looking for the Ford version which was available for previous model years. Previous part number was HC3Z16C900C. That part number says it fits 2017-22.

Is it not available yet for the '24? Does that p/n happen to fit the '24?

If not, does anyone have a recommendation for the best bug deflector for that truck? Prefer one that attaches via hardware as opposed to with sticky tape.

Thank you.

 

Here's what I have courtesy of Fairway Ford for an AVS Aeroskin - VPC3Z 16C900B. That's for the matte textured black. There's another part number for smoke. This is for my 2023 so I'd guess that it would work on your 2024.
But it is stick on. I've had many AVS Aeroskins on these trucks. Very secure. No amount of car wash trips has come close to loosening them. In fact they'd probably break before you removed it from the truck. That's why I let them go with the trucks at trade time.
Contact the parts people at Fairway in Canfield, Ohio. They've always been very helpful to me. I'll be ordering molded mud flaps from them as soon as my FordPass points come in for this new truck. Probably front vent shades too. I kind of like the stamped "Super Duty" on the hood of this new one so I might skip a deflector for the first time in about 30 years.

 

I have the Ford smoke stick on deflector from my dealer. 2024 350

 

'24 is probably the same as '23 and I can't find one for that either except for the stick on one which I don't want.

That Ford deflector you referenced is actually made by Aeroskin, goes by Aeroskin II. I don't see it yet for a 24 but if it was me I'd wait. I have the same deflector on my 22 , and I'm happy with the performance and looks.

 

But is this attached by two sided tape or otherwise fastened? I've had many AVS Aeroskins and they've all been tape attached. No issues ever. But the OP states that he does not want that type.

 

There are two options from Ford

I had one like the 1st one on a Bronco. Looked good and rugged on that. Not sure I would like that style on my truck. I got a bugflector II like I’ve done on all my previous trucks, but I’m not happy with it. Has no support in the middle and caves in and flaps driving down the road. I’ll probably swap it out for the aeroskin at some point.

 

I have the second one, the smooth smoke type. 2 way tape all across the top and bottom edge. No problem with it. Had this type from Ford on my 2021 F150 too without issues.

 

So it looks like there are still no deflectors available for the '23+ trucks that aren't stick on.

I don't know since i never inquired about that type, but a call to any dealer parts department would soon tell.
Edit: Just called dealer and they have the stick on only at this time for 24MY

 

I have the smoke on my 24, bought it thru fairway on eBay listing. Works fine.

 

It is a stick on design, and I've had zero issues with it. And, for what it's worth, I use the local car wash with spinning brushes.

For me at least, I decided I wanted something firmly stuck to the body instead of something sticking up with a gap underneath that might be hard to clean. To each his own, but I'd buy another one like mine in a heartbeat.

 

Same experience as you. I have a monthly subscription to an automatic car wash. I've been through it dozens upon dozens of times with several different stick on Aeroskin equipped trucks. No problems whatsoever.
I'm still on the fence for the 2023 I just got last week. I kind of like the embossed "Super Duty" on the hood. Not sure if I want to cover it up. I've got time to think it over while I'm waiting for the FordPass points to come my way.

 

There are multiple pictures of mine in the "What have you done to your 2024" thread. I have the Aeroskin stick on, fits great, love it.

 

Only reason I’ve always stuck with bugflector vs the lower profile ones like the aeroskin or the Lund that’s also sold through ford is that they don’t offer any fender front protection and stick up higher as to help more with deflection from the windshield and top of hood. The Lund also has a lip but no fender protection and it just doesn’t look right to me on these trucks.
