Another highly debated topic is on truck floor mats/ liners. The consensus has always been between Weathertech and Husky Liners. But now with the new 3D Mats coming on strong in the truck market we feel they are as advertised. We've sold and used these mats for years across every make and model you can think of. When it comes to protecting your vehicle’s interior from dirt, spills, snow, and wear, three top brands dominate the market: WeatherTech, 3D Mats (3D MAXpider), and Husky Liners. Each offers unique features and benefits, but which one is right for your car? Here’s a detailed breakdown..
Weathertech -
They were one of the originals in the industry and for years was really the best and only option. They've branched out into making other items like cup holders, pet products and some home products as well (over 10,000 part numbers). In the beginning products were solid and held up decent, but over time they didn't improve much of their standard floor mats and started having some issues with the material.
Overview:
WeatherTech is one of the most recognized names in the industry. Known for precision-fit and durability, their FloorLiner and All-Weather Floor Mats are engineered in the USA.
Pros:
3D Mapped Laser-measured for a custom fit.
High walls and deep channels trap water, mud, and debris.
Durable thermoplastic construction. (TPE)
Made in the USA.
Extensive vehicle compatibility.
Cons:
Premium price point.
Edges tend to fold and have a tendency to move around
Can be slippery when wet.
More utilitarian than stylish.
Best For:
People who prioritize rugged protection and a precise OEM-like fit.

Husky Liners-

Originally founded in 1988, they recently sold out to Real Truck in 2016 and have really taken control of the newer truck/suv market. Claims products are manufactured at their facility in Georgia, using global materials and American labor and manufacturing standards. Floor mats and liners are available in two different constructions, both with exceptional strength and durability. Made with soft-touch Dura-Grip™, or the ultra-tough Weatherbeater™ lines, made with robust thermoplastic olefins (TPO).

Tough materials ideal for heavy-duty use.
Raised edges and tread patterns trap dirt and liquids. Easy to Clean
More affordable than WeatherTech. Husky Weatherbeater Floor Liners with the ProGard™ formula, are 78% more durable and 30% less expensive than WeatherTech
Lifetime warranty.
Made in the USA.
Cons:
Some models may not offer the variety of styles and colors as Weathertech.
Less refined look compared to 3D MAXpider.

3D Mats (Maxpider)-
https://www.injectedmotorsports.com/catalog/brand/3d-mats
3D MAXpider mats are known for blending style with function. Their multi-layer design offers both comfort and superior grip, with a carbon fiber look that adds a refined touch. A fairly newer product line, they have always offered a higher end product on more luxury vehicles but have started getting heavy into the truck/SUV market. Currently made in Taiwan, then assembled/ produced here in the USA. They have plans to open up a manufacturing plant here in the USA soon.
Materials used: Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) ,Cross-link Polyethylene (XPE), MAXpider® (PET, Polyethylene Terephthalate).
Pros:
Sleek, stylish design.
Anti-skid backing (Maxpider fiber) grips the floor securely.
The ONLY cargo liner we've found so far that does NOT slide around with heavy objects or when pulling items out of the cargo area!
Lightweight and very easy to remove/clean.
Raised edges for spill containment.
Odorless and eco-friendly materials.
Cons:
Less heavy-duty than WeatherTech or Husky.
May have limited fit options for older or less common vehicles.
Best For:
Drivers who want a premium look without sacrificing protection and grip.
**They are quite impressive if you're looking for durability and for the non-skid mats! Also offer a "kid kick pad" for the back of seats so it protects them from those kiddos and their dirty shoes!
