Which one..... floor liners
I have Weathertechs in my (new to me) 2015 F150 and so far they've been decent over the last 4-5 months. The shape is very accurate. I also had them in my last vehicle (2008 GX470) and did notice the rear liner would curl by the door edges. Didn't have any issues up front but the rear design was kind of meh. I think part of it just depends on the model and the way it's shaped. The liners on for my F150 lay flatter than the previous ones ever did.

Two of my friends have Weather Tech in their SUV's. I'm not impressed.

Personal opinion. Beyond a certain point you are just keeping the carpet nice for the next owner.

Bought Husky liners for the front, middle, and cargo areas of my 2004 Tahoe right when I got it in 2004 (almost 300K miles ago). They are still going strong. There's a bit of wear on the driver's side where my heel digs in, but it's nowhere close to developing into a hole. All the others look just about good as new.

ETA: I forgot to mention that someone commented on the flexibility. In my experience, being able to bend the edges up like a taco to contain spills when removing the liners from the vehicle makes dumping them out a whole lot easier.

I’ve got Weather Tech in my Tacoma. Highly recommend.

I should also say that WT stood behind their rain guards a few years ago when one of them was losing their grip and kept sliding down. I just e-mailed them to see if they could send any more tape. Representative insisted they were defective and sent me new rear rain guards.

Not sure how good they would stand behind their floor liners, though.

I had two pair of Weathertechs wear through under the drivers right heel. I bought a set of Huskys and the show no wear after a year.

I had weathertwchs in my Tundra

I now have huskys in my tacoma

Either are a good choice. Make sure to select the specific molded ones for the vehicle

I do prefer the husky between the two. The computer scanned and molded are a softer rubber. Think they called the contour X

After much deliberation I have ordered the 3D Maxpider Kagu. They weren't even on my radar, but after a couple of recommendations, I looked at them and read a lot of very good reviews.

I got them with a labor day discount, and even with the dog seat cover it was cheaper than regular price for the set.

I already gotten a notification that they will be shipped out tomorrow and be here by the end of the week.

Thanks for the insight and recommendations.

Yep, the Husky exact fit are the shit. Have had them and the Weather Tech and the Husky mats are much better

I voted for the factory mats. I have 120k+ on my Outback ang they're holding up well.

I've got Weather Tech in the Tundra purchased in 2013. They fit pretty well, no curling isues, but yes, they feel like a harder textured plastic than rubber. I wouldn't say they are slick, but certainly less grippy. Maybe some items placed on them can slide round a bit, but otherwise not sure how this impedes their primary function.

I have OEM "rubber" mats in the FJ Cruiser. I do like the look and grippy feel better, though they don't have the high sides and door sill covers like WT. The WT side walls seem excessively tall for my needs - we don't get a lot of snow, and I'm not in huge amounts of mud. That said, the side walls do a good job of containing the dirt compared to the OEM "rubber", so it doesn't accumulate around the outside edges of the mat. That means vacuuming is less frequent and less time consuming with the WT. The softer "rubber" does attract more dirt. Requires a bit more washing and scrubbing, even a light power washing, to coax them back to a clean new appearance.

I find the quality of the carpet in automobiles has fallen significantly in recent years. Calling the stuff in my Tundra or BMW carpet is a real stretch, so you have to get something if you want it to stay decent. YMMV

Well, I just wanted to update, I have had 3D Maxpider Kagu floor liners for almost a week, I have to say that I really like them.
They match my seats, by that I mean the pattern on the floor liners matches the weave on my seats.
They look factory. The backing on them, the little "spider hairs" really grip! The floor liners don't move at all. They also aren't slippery, feet don't slide or slip around. They are also very light weight, but add a little to sound deading.

I'm glad that they were recommended, and I'm glad that I took the chance and got them. I will have to say that I would recommend them to anyone that are looking at getting floor liners.
