For the people who got the Huskies, did you get the weather beater or X contour model? Both appear to be custom cut for the vehicle. Weather beater appears more plastic like and the X contour appears more like a stiff rubber. I’ve got X contour in my Tundra and they’ve been great.

Anyone know of a good carpet type version.
I drive barefoot and the rubber ones trap water, snow, etc and feel "icky" on my bare feet.
Toyota factory ones cost too much for my cheap blood. I thought you wore flip flops?
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

My wife and I have Weather Techs in our vehicles. We like them.

First thing you should do, especially if you have kids, weathertechs are pricey but worth it. I even bought their rear seat cover
My new gmc came with a gm version of them, they are holding up really well so far but I wouldnt consider them quite as nice as weathertech or husky.

My weathertech matts in my old truck were terrible. After about three years, they started curling and the material delaminated. Additionally, the matts were anchored with a plastic hook which required you to drill a hole in the floorboard. After a few years, the plastic anchor stripped out and I was left with a matt that slid around and a hole in the floorboard. I'd go with an upgraded factory set or Husky.

My Weathertechs never did that and I've had them in 3 of my trucks.

THIS I have had both. In my opinion Husky are a better quality mat.

I like the Weathertech gear. I wouldn't choose black again because they really show the salt that's thrown around here. Grey would have worked fine in my grey and black interior. gray shows the same

10 year old Huskies. Still fit perfectly in my Dodge, no edge curl. Just waiting for the ground to dry up so I can hose them off. They're scuffed up a bit but hey, it's a truck.

Weather beater appears more plastic like and the X contour appears more like a stiff rubber. I have the Husky X-Act Contour liners, front and back, in the F-150. Seem to be holdin' up alright. At the end of the day, Husky or Weathertech, I think it's 1/2 dozen in one, 6 in the other.

When I bought my Huskies, I don't recall having a choice of styles. Or maybe Amazon or Ebay or wherever I bought them just didn't carry other styles.

+1 I’ve had both and prefer the Husky X-Act fit in my Tacoma Double Cab.

Husky x-act contour. The only issue is they don’t come in any color but black.

Another +1 for Huskys. Either one is better than stock though.

I've had them in my truck for about ten years now. They work well and look like new when they're washed. Curiously enough, my second hand '06 GTO came with them. They seem like a bit of overkill for a car never driven in snow or nasty muck.

I use Husky liners, and have for many years, in all of my vehicles and the have held up extremely well. I think I am using the original set I purchase when my 1998 4runner was new so they are 23 years old. I know the ones in my truck were purchased in 2002 and in our Highlander in 2014 (247,000 miles and 176,000 miles respectively).

I somehow got the wrong color of Husky mats once, and they cheerfully took them back and sent the right ones immediately. That made me a Husky customer for all time.
BTW, whichever brand you buy take them out of the box and sit them in the sun and air for a day or two to get rid of the "rubber chemical" smell and flatten them out.
