Fender Defender from TRC for normal use, a lot easier on the paint, (not that mines all that great), I've also got one like shown above (GM version but the same thing) for when I've digging deep and moving lots of stuff over the fender that might drop (more cushioning)
Binder clips can be your friend

Two gigantic towels! Folded in half and clipped on to the fenders edges.....

I have a GM fender cover, it slides off, isn't THAT soft...just okay. I like the terrycloth towels.

Save your money!

I use the bath towels clipped to the inside of the fender, those fender blankets with the foam underside will eventually get contaminated with some kind of grit. Bath towels are easy to launder.

I have a bunch of free moving blankets from Harbor freight. If I'm doing something greasy I use regular ones from OReilly's. I would like some wider ones though

I have been doing it this way for 20 years and never an issue. Clips keep the towels in place and never had a problem!

Give your ride a wake-up call! Buy a fender apron with a MOPAR or Ford logo on it.

It's best to have an apron with an underside surface to which dirt/debris will not stick. Also, when not in use, wipe off the underside and fold it in on itself so the bottom surface is never 'open' to receive any dirt/debris. If it is made with a couple of welts on the top surface, they will tend to keep any tools from rolling off in either direction. What's printed on the top surface is irrelevant.

I bought a cheap moving blanket at Harbor Freight (U-Haul is another source), cut the center part into an X so that it folds into the engine compartment. Less than 10 bucks and won't slide off.

I have some Carquest ones from many years ago that are still in good shape. I think I was given them long ago. I have also used towels and moving blankets.
