It was then that I got into the world of floor mats, and I’ve been a WeatherTech fan ever since. I look for floor mats that offer a good fit and easy installation, because it makes cleaning and removal much simpler. Quality and durability were also top of mind for me, because as much as I like floor mats, shopping for replacement mats after you’ve toasted a set is no fun at all.

Its floormats remain the flagship product, however, and the company’s Floor Liners are among the best-fitting and durable products around. WeatherTech laser measures vehicles to get the best fit possible, and its mats are designed to capture dirt and moisture before it hits your truck floor. Unlike the generic floor mats you can pick up at the local auto parts shop, WeatherTech’s products are specifically designed for individual trucks. That means you’ll have to search out your specific make and model to get the right fit. That said, once you’ve found the right mat, you’ll have one that fits like a glove. ### Best Value: [BDK ProLiner]() BDK makes a set of budget-friendly floor mats that offer great quality and protection for your truck’s carpeting. They’re not tailored to fit a specific vehicle, but the ProLiner mats can be trimmed for a better fit. Flexible materials allows the mats to squeeze through tight spaces and make installation a breeze, while the robust anti-slip backing keeps them in place for the long haul. BDK’s ProLiner mats feature deep channels and ridges to capture dirt and water, and the set comes with coverage for both rows of your truck’s seating. The rear mat features a center section to cover the space between the seats for even more protection. You can also choose between black, tan, or gray to match your truck’s interior. ### Best Heavy-Duty Mat: [Husky Liners Uni-Fit]() With its Uni-Fit product, Husky managed to make truck floor mats that are both light and rugged. Though they’re not tailored to fit from the factory, the trim-to-fit design is relatively easy to deal with and the mats’ deep ridges keep all the dirt and grime locked in place. Underneath, the Husky mats feature ridges to keep them in place, and they’re easy to pull out and hose down Husky guarantees the Uni-Fit floor mats for life, so you can buy without worrying about shredding them in a month. Many buyers state that the mats are too narrow for their vehicle, and some report an off-putting odor when taking them out of the box. It’s important to measure before purchasing, and if you experience an odor, let the mats rest outside of the packaging, which should remedy the smell. ### Best All-Weather Protection: [WeatherTech All-Weather Floor Mats]() WeatherTech makes an amazing line of laser-fit floor mats, but the company’s not a one-trick pony. Its [All-Weather mats]() offer great protection and fit, but require trimming for specific applications. WeatherTech designed the front mats with different shapes for a better fit, but many people still report having to trim and cut small notches to go around seat posts and other floor shapes. The All-Weather mats feature a unique compound that stays pliable in cold weather and prevents cracking. There are no PVCs, and buyers state that there is very little to no off-gassing when opening the package. ### Honorable Mention: [3D Maxpider Custom Fit Floor Mats]() Very few floor mats can compete on the level with WeatherTech, and 3D Maxpider’s mats are one of the best to take on the industry giant. They offer a custom-fit design for specific vehicles, and feature a shock- and sound-absorbent material for better comfort and sound deadening. They don’t have deep ridges or grooves like some products on this list, but the 3D Maxpider mats feature a prominent raised lip to capture dirt and grime. The company backs its floor mats with a three-year warranty, which is decent but falls way short of the lifetime warranty WeatherTech offers. Additionally, some buyers report discoloration after longer periods of time. On the upside, 3D Maxpider’s customer service appears to be solid, so you’ll likely get a quick resolution to any issues you experience. ### Best WeatherTech Alternative: [SmartLiner All-Weather Custom Mats]() SmartLiner is another company giving WeatherTech a run for its money. The SmartLiner All-Weather mats feature a skid-resistant underside and a textured surface to capture all the mess from your boots. The company uses laser scans to determine fit, so the mats are tailored for seat rails, pedals, and other obstacles that reside in your truck’s footwell. Though SmartLiner’s mats are custom-fit, they aren’t compatible with every variant of every model. The company’s website lists restrictions for trucks like the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500, where mats only fit certain cab configurations and bed setups. ## Our Verdict When I look for floor mats, I don’t typically shop past [WeatherTech](). The company’s products are high-quality, fit well, and are backed by a lifetime warranty. I’ve never had a problem in over 20 years of buying the company’s products, and its laser measuring process ensures an accurate fit in a huge variety of trucks and other vehicles. They’re also suitable for snowy weather, and the tall sides of the Floor Liners keep your grubby, salty feet from rubbing the grime into your [truck’s actual carpeting](). ## Things to Consider Before Buying Truck Floor Mats ### Floor Mats vs Liners Floor mats and floor liners are bound to dominate your search results, but they're not one in the same. Both can come in a variety of styles and finishes, but the basic differences between the two will ultimately determine what's best for your truck. Floor mats are flat mats that lay on the carpet. Most are universal, but there are vehicle-specific options available. Floor liners, on the other hand, are all vehicle-specific. They're specially designed to follow the contours of your truck's floor pans, with raised edges to trap the mess in. Floor liners offer maximum protection, but the affordable nature of floor mats makes them a better choice for many. ### Floor Mat Pricing In most cases, you can get a quality set of floor mats for your truck for well under $100, but you can spend way more or less. There are dozens of sub-$20 mats for sale online, some with great reviews. On the other end of the spectrum, expect $200 or more for a full set of custom-fit floor liners from a well-respected brand. ## FAQs You’ve got questions. *The Drive* has answers. ## Author After working in the technology and software industry for several years, Chris Teague began writing as a way to help people outside of that world understand the sometimes very technical work that goes on behind the scenes.
