Best Floor Mats? - Diesel Forum

Robertc82 · 09-15-2009, 04:27 PM

I've got this new King Ranch and it has the really nice king ranch CARPET floor mats that are really nice. The problem is they will not last very long around my house. Does anyone have suggestions for some really good looking floor mats? I have been leaning towards the WeatherTechs. I am very picky with my truck as I'm sure most of you are. Are these floormats in the Tan a perfect color match? Or is there a better floormat out there? Thanks

I haven't tried the Catchall in my Super Duty yet, but in the Chevy's I owned they fit perfect and kept everything on the mat.
Also Lloyds fit and look good.

Weathertech without a doubt!! They fit great in the front, the rear is a little sloppy but it works.Guessing you have a tan interior like mine, black mats look great in it for some reason. I was going to go tan but really happy with the black!

I would go with WeatherTechs if you're worried about snow. Being as you're in Texas like me, I don't think the once a year snow is enough to want these. I've got the WeatherTechs because that's what was in my truck when I bought it.

In my past trucks, I've always had the Nifty CatchAll carpeted mats and loved them. Vacuum them out, and they look good, if you get muddy, you can pressure wash them and use degreaser on them as well.

The Weathertechs, to me, do not look nice even once they are wiped clean. They scratch and never look brand new like I would like, and like the CatchAlls do.

Husky Liners are great.

Husky Liners here on my last 4 trucks. Best I've found.

I have the tan weathertechs and I love. You will not be dissappointed.

So does the Tan match on any of these? I had black all weather mats in my 08 but it had tan leather seats. It looked really good but now I have the King Ranch seats and want to get the best color matched floor mats with the carpet. BTW got in my truck today and evidently had something on my boots and now its all over the carpet floor mat! I think they should put all weather matching mats in all trucks and seel the carpet ones as an option or aftermarket. Who uses a truck that wont ever be dirty? Just venting. LOL

i had my dealer give me a good deal on weathertech mats when we bought our truck, we plow in the winter so these have been a lifesaver, our other trucks all have salt stains/salt crusting on the carpet from everything leaking over other floor mats we have had.

My truck is a King Ranch and it matches great. Ill take some pics and get them up tonight.

Thanks Slammer03 and to everyone with their input. I would love to see the pics but from the sounds of it, I think I will be going with the WeatherTechs. I like the husky liners too and the catch alls. I want a complete rubber mat though that I can just spray off. I am in the oilfield and am constantly in mud so I need something that I can just spray off all the time and look new again. As long as the color matches, the WeatherTechs look like just what I want. My carpet floor mats now after all the rain we've been getting are basically trashed. I'm sure they'll clean up but thats just too much trouble. I wouldn't have carpet in my house if it wasn't already here!

I have been through two sets of WeatherTech tans. I had my first set in my F150 and now a second set in my 08 F250 KR.

They match well up front *but* they do discolor over time. Water seems to cause the color to leach out. After 4 years, my F150 ones looked downright faded. As I said, the front match perfectly in the F250. The rears look like an after-thought. I bought a second set for my KR and after 6 months the same fading started again.

I too am very picky about my truck. So... I have put my KR factory carpet mats back in and use old towels when I know we are getting in with sandy and wet feet after a day fishing or at the beach.
