Introduction

It’s inevitable, the dirtiest part of your truck’s interior is where you put your feet. Even if your truck came with carpeted floor mats or you splurged for factory rubber mats, they are never big enough and don’t provide enough protection. Do you really want to have to worry about getting your truck’s carpet dirty? Neither do we. So, we recently tried out a new set of exact fit Husky Floor Liners.

 

The X-act Contour line is Husky's premium liner/floor mat replacement. Unlike floor mats, these liners are exactly cut to fit perfectly into your truck.

Husky Liners manufactures the X-act Contour Floor Liner to offer the most protection possible for your truck’s footwell. They are custom fit and extend to cover a sizably larger area than stock mats. We test fit two complete sets of X-act Contour Floor Liners on both a brand new 2014 Silverado Crew Cab and our 2011 GMC Sierra Extended Cab.

 

The stock rubber floor mats on a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado are rugged and durable but don’t cover as much carpeting as they should. New Hampshire winters bring lots and lots of snow, sand, and salt.

Even with only 15,000 miles, the extra cost carpeted mats on our 2011 Project Sierra have gotten dirty quickly and are starting to look worn down.

Unboxing

Here’s how our X-act Contour liners arrived. Husky makes both front and rear floor liners. Each comes in their own box. Each generation of GM truck has their own custom set of liners so make sure to match up the right part number for your correct year, model, and cab size.

The liners are packaged securely and are easy to quickly unbox. The cardboard box they came in reminded us of pizza boxes and kind of made us hungry.

Now away from their packaging, this front and rear 2014 Crew Cab set is impressive. They have a high-quality look and feel. First impressions are that these liners are heavy duty, durable, and strong.

Up close, we see the liners are made of a slightly smooth, non-stick like, rubber. It helps water, dirt, and snow to slide right off. The surface is slightly slick when wet as a result.

Fitment in the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado

Installing these floor liners shouldn't require too much explanation. They fit perfectly into the new snap lock design, and cover a much larger area. No cutting or modification was required.

A comparison shot in the 2014 Silverado shows just how much bigger the Husky liners are over the factory rubber mats.. The Husky Liners are nearly twice the size!

Husky’s rear floor liners offer even more protection. The 2014 factory rubber mat, sitting on top, is small with no center protection.

Fitment in the 2011 GMC Sierra

We found the the fit in our 2011 wasn't quite as perfect as in the 2014 but we are still very happy with the result.

The passenger side liner on our Sierra is large and built to hold a lot of stuff that may fall off your feet.

 

Husky X-Act Contour Rear Liner protects your truck’s floor carpeting door to door, unlike the factory mats. Here’s our extended cab with the rear seat folded up.

 

How well do they work?

We found even if your feet are covered in snow,you don’t have to worry. The Husky Liners are large enough catch everything that fell off our boots.

 

The channeled design holds and traps a lot of water, dirt, mud, and debris, even after it melts.

 

We tried our hardest to knock off as much snow as wildly as we could but the Husky liners kept everything contained. We then tried to over-load our feet with slush and slop but the Husky’s caught it all, too.

 

Conclusion

If you never want to worry about tracking weather inside your truck again, the Husky X-Act Contour Liners are the answer. These high-quality floor liners offer the protection your truck deserves and are backed by a lifetime guarantee.

 

We've tested these mats for the last month during the middle of winter in New Hampshire and they've done nothing but impress. Gone are the days of asking passengers to knock off their boots! Jumping into our truck has become a no worry situation, no matter how messy our feet have become. We would highly recommend Husky X-act fit liners.

I actually switched out my Weathertechs for these.

 

What I like better about them.

 

They don't get dirty looking just from the normal stepping in and out of the truck. The Weathertechs seem to show every bit of dust on them making them look dirty more than they are clean.

 

I like that these are more pliable and and that they sit in place even better then the Weathertechs, not that that was a big issue with them, but these do hold in place better.

 

I also like that these don't cover the CHEVROLET label on the door sill. This is one of the reasons for me selling the Weathertechs for these. They do cover the sill so there is still no worry for dirt between it and the sill.

 

I am still using the Weathertech in the rear. It covers a lot more on the rear than these do, to bad because I would switch it too. Always looks dirty back there, Kids

+1 on the Husky Xact Contours . I have them in my '13 2500 HD 4x4 and really like them. Even though most retailers don't show them working with the manual 4x shifter, they work just fine. Luckily my local guy had them in stock so I could check them for fit before buying.

+2 on the husky liners, bought a set last week on the advice of this forum. Fit great and the color was close enough that look factory (Beigh) Thanks for the review! RCR

Did they copy the design off of Weathertech? Seems like they are almost the same thing.

Would these cover the Z71 sill plate on a 2014 silverado?

Yes, it slightly does. Here's a shot of the passenger side, stock vs Husky.

I guess covering them is good and bad. Good for protection, bad for the look.

I purchased these for my 2013 Silverado extended cab. Fit like a glove and like the other posts catches all of the mess. They also give you a post that threads into your carpet. The post will go through the mat along with a threaded grommet. This also help to keep the drivers mat from "wondering"

This is not an issue at all on mine. Something must be different with them on the new model trucks

I am not sure. GM did use ones with CHEVROLET on some of the LTZ packages, not my 2010 though. I purchased a set from my dealer and at the time had the Weathertechs, which covered this label. I know they also offered sills with SIERRA in them too.Hopefully someone will chime in that knows if Z71 labeled sills were offered

[ace ventura]

So do you guys keep these in all year or just for winter or knowing your going to get muddy?
