OttoSigis there a product better than Weathertech?
I had them for my tundra and they did OKAY, they did what I wanted them to do, kept things off my carpet.
But the fit wasn't that great and they curled up in the heat of Hawaii.
Does anyone have a recommendation before I buy more for the Forerunner?

brywardsI went with Husky liners for my Mustang. They fit well and are generally cheaper than Weathertech

shiftyvtecHusky premium line in my Tundra. They blow the Weathertechs out of the water. Lay flat, thicker, more of a rubber than that ridgid plastic WT uses.

P250UA5When I had my '16 F150, the general consensus on the F150Forum was that the Husky liners were preferred over the Weathertech.
IIRC, the WT liners tended to warp at the top & lean in', while the Huskys held shape a bit better.

snwghstI’ve had both weather tech and husky liners. I spent the extra and got the computer fit ones from each
My preference were the Husky’s. A little softer under the foot. Both worked well

MikeGLII purchased the OEM rubber mats and a friend (same 4 runner but a year newer) went with weathertechs. They're very different in how much protection they offer, I'd give the edge to weathertech, but he said he started wearing through his driver side weathertech. He's a bigger guy so that may have had something to do with it.

gpbst3I had weathtech before and had the curl at the door area.
I went to Husky Xact contour and never looked back. They have a softer rubber feel to them.

SRI had a Cabela brand mat (made by Husky) for my suburban and they curled - especially the one in the cargo area. When I purchased the new SUV I went with WeatherTech. I'm happy with the cargo mat, so so on the second row, and not happy at all with the driver's mat. The edge next to the door keep warping up. Can't even keep it down with velcro. grrr....
I went with the Husky X-Act Contour in my Wife's Rogue. Very happy with those.
Make sure to check Amazon - we found the Husky's in a 'damaged box' marked down price from the warehouse. It was a sizable discount.
If I remember correctly, WeatherTech offers a discount for members of AAA.

pawprintsdocI've tried both WeatherTech and Husky...I much prefer the Husky.
We used the WeatherTech floor mats in a VW Passat, and it didn't take long for them to curl and become misshapen...and that's in SC sun and heat.
As others have said, the Husky is a little more rubbery and flexible, while still seeming to have a great fit.

ChuckFinleyI actually had MIchelin mats on my last truck. Very solid and stayed in place. Don't seem to be a common item. IDK if still made, but depending on your year and model might be something to find on ebay or otherwise

BassamaticI use Husky for all of our mats. They are extremely durable, offer a perfect fit and a whole bunch cheaper that WeatherTech.

bonfireI went with a company called 3dmaxpider in all my vehicles. Easy to clean and the colors have not faded like my friends Weather Tech mats. Give them a look.

TXLeWe had sets of WeatherTech for an Accord and a Lexus NX200T. They did their job but we were not impressed at how thin they were. We also experience curling at the kickpanel and door edges.
Bought a set of Husky for our new 4Runner. Its much thicker and no curling issues. Husky for the win.

LBAR15Hated the Weathertech floormats in my Jeep. Too stiff, didn't hold their shape over time and poor water retention. I switched to OEM all weather mats which are much softer rubber with deep channels and a high rim around the edge and have been very happy with them. The only place I left the Weathertech was in the back, it's taken a beating and is still holding up, the curled edges are much less of an issue back there and I actually prefer the harder material as it's easier to slide stuff in and around on it.

az4783054We've used HUSKY and WEATHERTECH in our SUV and truck vehicles. I prefer the latter.
