For those of you suggesting anything that mounts with studs...that's the problem. The truck doesn't have any. Apparently GM thought we didn't need them. There's no carpet, either.

My personal truck is an 01 Silverado. It has vinyl floors. I never put mats in it, because like this Tahoe there's no provision for them. I drive it a lot less than the squad is going to get driven, but about ago I discovered that water managed to somehow get past the vinyl flooring, soak the insulation underneath, and rust a hole through the floor pan. I'd rather not have that happen to this if I can help it. I spend altogether too much time in the thing and I'd rather it not get nasty, plus I'll get bitched at if I wear a hole in the floor, even though I'm not the one who issued it without mats.

Black, I'm definitely not going to put something in there that can move around. If I can't find a solution that works I'll just wear a hole in the floor and take my ass chewing later. It's better than getting in a wreck.

Seems to me the slick vinyl floor covering is the problem. Would it be possible to remove it, and place after-market mats directly on the bare metal underneath the vinyl?

No, they're definitely not going to be ok with me doing that.

Mine is a 2019 first one to get it like 5 years ago. I have a nice rub through to the metal where my heel spends most of the day while driving.
Other spots are worn down but not through and does not look the greatest but I really don’t care.

I purchased the Huskys instead of the Weathertechs for my F150, because they're actually better, fit better, and stick better to the floor than the Weathertechs, as the WTs polymer material is a little slippery, while the Husky brand are beefier, actually fit better (the fitted version), and the rubber softer and more complient to a good fit. And they're less expensive. If they made them for my other cars I'd put them in all the vechicles.

Xantom's post above is exactly correct.

Just did a quick search and came across this:

That may be the ticket. I guess if they don't work I can probably return them....

Can you rivet the mats to the vinyl?
Can you make some holes in the vinyl for a new mat that has pegs?

Maybe this glue will work.

ChatGPT was of no more help than SigForum. Whodathunk?

My imagined solution is to purchase carpet for the vehicle, precut, prefinished. Remove seats. Install carpet. Refasten seats. Carpet should be held in place by the seat anchor bolts.

Just wanted to update on this. Thanks to those who recommended the Husky liners. I got them to buy me a set out of uniform allowance, and they came in last week. So far they've been awesome. They've been put to the test in -6 degree weather the last two days and they haven't moved around at all. They also look like they would hold a ton of water if it was warm enough for the snow to melt off my boots, lol. They're doing exactly what I was hoping they would do. I'm a fan!
