Floor Liners Comparison w/ Pics, WeatherTech vs. Rugged Ridge

[Fosscore]

Here are my OEM mats for additional comparison. They have the nibs and hug the contours of the areas that they are meant to curve around and hug. Even though they don't have the extra coverage of the WTs or the RRs, they still fit. They do not shift and do what they are supposed to do.


I have decided to return both sets of floor liners. AutoAnything is taking both sets back without any hassles, including shipping.

I will be replacing the carpet (the entire truck's carpet is shot) after the summer, and will choose something then. Please post pics of what you have here so other guys who do not have the WT or Husky custom fit liners can see what it looks like.

Thx for contributing to this thread.

I have the weather techs. I think they provide the best overall protection. With kids that is very important. I think they fit great. Much more protection than factory mats

Got the mats. Here is a sneak peak of just the front passenger side (I'll take better/more pics later in the week). Love the fronts! The individual rears are just ok. Since the rears are universal fit they don't cover much. I might send them back and take a chance with the one piece.

 

[Fosscore]

Those look really good. Same good fit as my first pics. I thought the front liners fit really well with great coverage. The one piece in the back just never laid down over the trans hump which kind of jacked the attached side mats a bit. They seemed to have good coverage front/back and to the door sill plates, but the middle buckle bothered me too much to "just accept it".

I let it bake in the Florida sun for about 2 weeks hoping the heat would help it form. It never did. I just decided to return them and start again. AutoAnything took care of my return shipping as well after I sent them pictures of both the RRs and WTs not fitting good enough.

So I wasn't out any money and got to see the application first hand. Thx for sharing that photo. Be interested to see your back seat mats too.

I tried weathertech before and they never laid right. No experience with rugged ridge but I do like the husky liners. This time I tried the Lund Catch-it mats. The fronts fit pretty good, the rear sucked and were returned. The rear would not fit over the hump right but I prefer separates in rear anyway. The fronts I kept. I like the carpeted look over the all rubber ones.

Well sorry for the delay, been busy. Here are the pics of the gray RR mats. I still want to try the rear one piece, but haven't ordered yet. If the fit is terrible I'll just keep the individual rears. Fronts are pretty dialed though. [emoji106]

Does anyone have the part number for GMC rear floor mats in grey? Of all these pictures, they actually look like the offer teh best fit and coverage, but i can't seem to find them online anywhere. guess i'll go Rugged Ridge fronts and OEM rears.

Front and back looks at the WeatherTechs and the Rugged Ridge liners. Tread patterns, nibs and no nibs. The WeatherTech covers the foot rest on the drivers side while the Rugged Ridge does not.

The rear seat liners of both. The WeatherTech does not even lay down over that curve to the door kick plate. Neither single piece fit the transmission hump very well.

Likely the individual liners would be a better option.

Sorry about brining a thread back from the dead but was curious if you guys who have the rear Rugged Ridge rear mat have seen it flatten out over time since this was done a few years ago.

I picked up the front mats recently and love them and was thinking about picking up the rear one piece mat that goes over the tranny hump

 

[Fosscore]

I did not end up going with the RR mats. I did not like the fitment over the 2nd row hump. It just didn't fit flush enough for me. I did like the front liners though with the grooves and raised edge to catch dirt and water/snow, etc...

In the end, I went with carpeted mats and my front mats were stitched with the bowtie since she is a pavement princess.

Is the rear seat mat one piece that goes over the 2nd row hump?

 

[Fosscore]

For the Rugged Ridge?
Yes it was.

Sorry I meant about the carpet mats

 

[Fosscore]

No they are two separate mats. Will get a photo in a couple of hours.

I had just redone my carpet and headliner so I matched the carpeted mats with the carpet as I went a shade darker than OEM.

No need for a picture. I was just curious if they had a one piece.

Ok no worries. I have not seen a one piece carpeted piece, but found this Lund Catch All on AutoAnything.

Me personally....I will go with the rugged mats and just trim the hump portion off the rear mats

I have RR fronts and love em. Thinking about the rear for winter here...I found a couple cheapie that were comparable to the RR two piece rears. Actually, have a little better coverage IMO. Be sure to report if you do that rear one piece, I'm curious on a 2nd opinion.

This looks pretty good but curious how it fits

 

[JWall85]

Just installed my weathertech floor mats in my 17 Chevy Tahoe. It almost seems like there is too much material and as much as the "laser measured" floor mats are supposed to fit pretty exact. I think that its just because I just installed them, and I only just installed the front and 2nd row. The 3rd row liner will be coming with my Wet Okole seat covers. I can take pics later if someone wanted to see what I'm talking about. I previously had the stock carpet floor mats that didn't even fit the area of the foot space.

Great thread. I’ve been thinking about new floor liners for the winter. Gotta keep all the snow and grime out of my truck. When the gun metal grey 2005 Denali XL was still in the family that I live with, she had weather techs. I loved them because they kept all the crap off her carpets, and never had to work hard to clean them, but pulling the liners out was always a pain because they were so stiff and none flexible. I didn’t like that. So not sure what I want to do. I like the rugged ridge, but can’t get over that tire tread look. Crap is gonna be hard to clean out of all those little grooves. Lol.
