Are mud flaps necessary for my Nissan Navara?

I recently bought a Nissan Navara and I'm wondering if I really need to invest in mud flaps. They seem like an unnecessary expense but I don't want to damage my truck's exterior. Can someone advise me on whether or not mud flaps are necessary for a Nissan Navara?

Yes, mud flaps are necessary for a Nissan Navara as they protect the truck's body and paint from rocks, mud, and other debris that can cause damage.

You may not need mud flaps if you don't frequently drive on dirt roads or off-roading. However, they can still be a useful addition for added protection.
