Any experience with Maxliner/Smartliner? Is WeatherTech worth the extra money? Looking for durable, good fitting, rubber mats. | ||

Weathertech mats have been a good value for me. Made in the USA. They fit my truck perfectly. I have had them for 6 years and they still look great. "Prepared in mind and resources" | |||

I’ve had Weathertech, prefer Husky better, seems like the fit is better and they don’t slide like WTs did | |||

This question was posed a few weeks ago. I seem to recall a split between Husky and Weathertech. I've had both and the Husky Xact fit (their premium line similar in cost to Weathertech) are not even in the same league. The Husky's are thicker, better fitting and more of a rubbery compound than slick plastic. They wear very well too. Their US made as well. | |||

I have had WeatherTech in 10 vehicles now. They started out as excellent quality and they have gotten noticeably thinner and thinner each time. If you have warm weather they cup from the body weight and height quickly. I bought a set in January (which I should not have) for my wife’s Suburban because WeatherTech at least at the time is the only company that made the Mocha color to match the GM trim. By May they were already cupped and don’t fit very well any more. WeatherTech in my Sienna, Expedtion, and Suburban are all designed poorly and have gaps where the different rows connect. The ones for the Expedition were terribly there was a 1 foot gap of no coverage right by the seat exactly where anyone would step. For the Sienna they were even worse as it forced the 2nd row seats to be stationary so you could not slide the seat forward or backward which was needed to access the 3rd row. I replaced the Expedition rear with a Maxliner and it was far superior to WeatherTech but not made in the USA. I replaced the Sienna with some other don’t recall the brand while coverage was good the material was crap. My in-laws have Husky in their Suburban, Tundra, and Highlander and they are much better than WeatherTech. For my Tundra I bought Gators and they are far better than both WeatherTech and Husky. Gators are also made in the states, Alabama if memory serves correct. They Gators coverage, fit, and material all great. They were $150 shipped for front and back while the Husky’s were $190. I did not even shop WeatherTech. Only thing about Gator is they have far less vehicle applications at the moment. Not sure how old of a product they are but I had never seen or heard of them before shopping for the Tundra back in June. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

Most guys will push WeatherTech but I have been using Husky for some time now and they all fit perfectly are as tough as nails and a lot less money. .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

I posted the same question a few weeks ago as I’ve not been happy with weathertech. https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...935/m/5230050374/p/1 After checking out husky I can say from experience they are of much better quality, cheaper, and I’ll never buy weathetech again. I also had very positive experiences with Husky customer service. Can’t say I had negative Rome’s with weathertech but was definitely a plus for Husky. 10 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

Husky. Weather tech is overpriced and lower quality than Husky. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

I have 2 different sets of Weathertech which are great. Bought another car and needed another set of mats. WT were $127 . I thought may be I could save some money so I went to E-Bay. Found an off brand (YITA Motor). Weird name but they were identical to the WT. Perfect fit. Cost $85 . Would defintely buy them again.This message has been edited. Last edited by: kramden, | |||

I've used Weathertech for years and have been happy with them. Once my mat on the driver's side started to delaminate. I emailed them a photo and had a new front mat within a week; they took care of everything. ----------------------- You can't fall off the floor. | |||

While my 13 y/o Weathertech mats have held up well, the WTs in the Explorer we bought my wife last year we’re crap. As noted cupping and poorly fitting. Went Husky and have no regret. Did the same in my last work vehicle (F-150) and was just as impressed. Won’t be using WT anymore. Husky from here on out. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

I also gave up on weathertechs. A posted poll on an auto forum had a strong consensus for Husky.

I've had great luck with Husky over the years. | |||
|
It's not easy being me |
I'm another fan of Husky liners. Had them in my truck since new (about 15 years now). _______________________________________ Flammable, Inflammable, or Nonflammable....... Hell, either it Flams or it doesn't!! (George Carlin) | |||

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
Another vote for the Husky over the Weathertech. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

I like my Weathertech, had them for a few years. Did they cheap out on materials in the last few years, maybe they're resting on their laurels. | |||

Fighting the good fight |
I hate to agree, but the Weathertechs I bought in 2018 were noticeably cheaper quality than the set I bought for the previous vehicle in 2008. | |||
