Floor liners

Thanks for the pic!

I would have thought it would have flattened out by now.

The last couple pics of the WT mats is the exact reason I didn't buy WT mats for my truck. The Husky mats don't curl up like that and fit flat right out of the box.

this morning I ordered the husky weatherbeaters for my 14 doublecab after a week of research on both liners. Just found this thread after ordering and glad to see I made the right decision. I have the huskys in my focus st and their fitment in my car was the main reason i bought them for the truck. They look and fit perfect and provide more coverage that the WT's.

 

Cant wait for them to come in now!

I think the WTs fit very nicely in my 2014.

I ordered the Husky weatherbeaters yesterday for my truck and the wife's car. I was holding off thinking they might make a brown for the cocoa interior but I can't wait with winter coming, so black it is!

I dropped by the dealer yesterday to see what the GMC brown all weather mats looked like in a cocoa interior truck. The brown color looks very rich with the cocoa carpet. Obviously it doesn't have much coverage. Why aftermarket mat companies aren't offering brown in their color lineup is beyond me.

 

I got to thinking about a comment earlier in this thread (maybe another, I can't remember) about how these all coverage mats reminded him of the vinyl interiors of yesteryear. Then it reminded me of grandma's plastic covered sofa in her living room. What's the point in even having a nice sofa if you can't enjoy it?

 

I am always thinking about maximizing resale value but I don't want to dress my truck in condoms to do so. I want to enjoy the thing. I like the rich brown color. Besides, I have factory Ford all weather mats in my truck now (7 years old). It's been through a lot of mud with our dirt biking/racing. I cleaned the heck out of the carpet getting it ready for appraisal and it came out looking like new.

 

So, it's dark brown GMC mats for me.

I have the weather tech and happy with them. They did curl up on the side at first but have laid in place now. I've had them since October 2013 and im glad I got them right away

I go to a carpet store and buy a couple of square samples for a dollar each. They get dirty I shake then out or get new.

I thought about this as well. But I live in Canada where we get a good 6 months of winter. With all the sand, salt, and snow that they throw on the roads, I think I am going with the husky x-act mats for the winter. I may consider purchasing the factory gmc rubber mats for summer when it's just dry sand I have to clean out.

That's a great point Clocked92. They do put a ton of salt down here. Will consider this as another option. Thanks!

I understand this point but people like their trucks to be different things. I drive a truck because I want a vehicle that can be rugged and dirty when it needs to be and I don't have to worry about messing up the pristine interior. If I wanted more luxury I'd get a car or an SUV. I personally prefer the utilitarian look of the floors being covered in vinyl liners. It's nice to hop in with muddy or snowy shoes and not worry about where your feet are and how dirty the floor is getting. I keep the original mats just in case I want to convert it back or sell them with the truck later, but I don't look at floor liners as covering the truck up like plastic on a sofa. I look at the liners as the actual finished look I'm going for.

Installed my Husky

X-act fit liners this morning (fronts only, rear is paycheck pending). Simple to install, lay totally flat. My only gripe is that both mat's have little rubber spikes to hold it firmly in place, however they did not put the spikes everywhere, but rather just on the base floor covering.

For the price I paid for these mats, I would have paid a dollar more to have 100% spike coverage.

 

[jackl4]

Thanks for the pics. If the spikes that are present do a good job keeping the mat in place, will it be satisfactory for you?

Has anyone ever used or seen these? I like the idea of still having the carpet look, but the ease of cleaning, and durability of vinyl.

That looks similar to a brand called Catch-all, I have not bought or seem them in years. I think I had a set in my 98 ext cab.
