Has anyone found an all weather floor mat that they like and would recommend?
I've got the ones from WeatherTec and they fit great and have held up well in the CO winters.
I think I paid like $60 plus shipping...

I also got the WeatherTech all weather mats, fit perfectly, and don't move around. Outer edge JUST fits a tiny bit under the lip of the black plastic sill, holds them down perfectly. Almost 2 yrs, no wear showing on the area where heal rubs....I'm impressed. Wipe 'em down once/yr with Aerospace 303 and they're back to brand new, dark, supple.
I have to admit I scored them for $16 from a Lexus dealership on ebay....they were relocating and selling inventory instead of moving it. But I'd pay full price if I had to, they're that nice. :thumbup:
These are the ones I got (for for the VX)

Thank you for the quick replies.
Mile High,
It looks like WeatherTech is a good fit. Thanks for the photos.
VX KAT,
The Ebay link you provided is for a Ford mat (model W19). Was the reference for example or is that the exact mat you have? Weathertech says the model W3 mat "fits" the VX.
Thanks again.
Frank
it was just for reference...I got the ones that fit the VX, but that's the /style model I got (as well as Mile High), since they do make a few different styles.Quote:

The forward-left edge should either wrap around the dead-pedal area or be molded to go completely over it. These mats go partially up the dead pedal and leave a dead space to the right of it that collects dirt pretty badly. It may be nick-picking to some, but it's definitely NOT the custom fit that WeatherTech advertises. I'm planning to switch out to Hexomats whenever I get around to it... if somebody wants to make me an offer on my WeatherTechs that'd get me started in the right direction. :)
I bought these at autozone....

They seem to do the trick.

Got them off the rack at the local Auto Zone, trim to fit if/where necessary. Also came with two rectangular rear mats of the same material that fit just fine for the back seat. I think they are pretty much indestructable too.

The grey fits nicely w/ the stock grey carpet and the fit is very good. In fact I'd say these fit a bit nicer than the weathertech ones based on the photo above. After 170k and 2 other owners, I was happy to trash the original isuzu mats in the dumpster last night.

This makes for uncomfortable shifting of foot since there is no where for your heel to consistently rest. I wear a 10.5 boot, so no extra large foot or anything, probably the most common size for a man. They are also not custom fit. My parents have weathertech mats for their ford flex, those are custom fit. They are the tray style that have the 1" lip all the way around. They look like they are part of the truck.
On the other hand, my autozone mats that I cut to fit looked great, but I wore a hole through em in a year or so.
i just ordered a front set from floormatguys.com.they say they are made to order and cover more floor than oem.i'll post pix when i get them
Def let us know, looks like they sell the Lloyd mats that are available all over the place:

I don't know that anyone here has ever tried them, so post lots of pics when you get them! :)
I picked up a set Of Stanley Maxtraction mats and they are awesome. Not really "pantsaver" design but are great for winter snow melt catch. They are a perfect fit for me and with a barbed back they don't move at all.
pantsaver? Not sure I understand what you mean?Quote:

if confused Confucius say google
I was expressing my laughter at Ldub's comment of "depends?" to the term "pantsaver".Quote:

Oops. Didn't intend to question you. Knew what your ha was and added mine.Quote:

Btw I did pick up a set of Hexomats for the front seats in my new VX. Fit is just as perfect as the Hexomat cargo and Hexomat rear seat mats that I already had, and they do great at catching liquids and sand (both the beach and Moab variety). And best of all they seem to wear much slower than the WeatherTech's for a comparable price. Once I get the sand cleaned out from my latest trip (just got back from the beach yesterday) I'll take pics for you guys.
For now here's a link to pictures of the cargo and rear seat mats:

I agree...I also seem to have a nice "dent" in the floor in that area. I pulled the carpet up in that area and nothing rotting in the floorboard area, but the insulation under the carpet was completely mashed down flat. I put some new padding in to take care of it. I think this is why mine developed a hole and not just wear....Quote:
