Floor Mats & Liners for your Pickup Truck

In a world where we are constantly striving to get the most out of our equipment through performance modifications, better oil to help our engine last longer, and truck racks to help us haul more supplies, it is easy to forget the simple, affordable and practical accessories that will help us get the most enjoyment out of our equipment or pickup truck. For today’s example we would like to present you with the floor mat. The floor mat is often overlooked on a pickup truck, and if a pickup truck owner decides to purchase one, he usually does not put much thought into the purchase. Today I would like to present you with a few different floor mats and liners and will explain to you that not all mats and liners are created equal.

What is the difference between a floor mat and a floor liner?
Before choosing floor protection, it’s important to understand the difference between a floor mat and a floor liner. For the heavy equipment operator that is in or around mud, snow, grime, concrete and rain, you are going to want to stick with a floor liner. Why? Because floor liners trap mud, snow and anything else you track into your truck. They totally keep any runny material that you bring into your truck from seeping over onto your floor. You could picture a floor liner as a bucket that you set on the floor to put your feet in, trapping all kinds of debris and keeping your carpet safe and sound. Fortunately, floor liners contour to the shape of your floor, and look fantastic.

A floor mat on the other hand usually does not offer much protection at all. We usually only recommend floor mats for the truck owner that is only around minor dust, light rain, and won’t be tracking mud or grime into the truck. Unlike a floor liner, the floor mat lays flat on the floor. If enough volume of mud or snow gets tracked into your car from your feet, it will spill over onto your carpet easily since there is no protection or walls whatsoever.

What floor liners are the best? Also, are there any floor mats that offer decent protection?
Let’s look at what are in my opinion, the top 5 floor liners. These brands that I’m about to list are the best in the industry. What makes them the best? Superior materials, they custom made for each make and model car, truck or suv, and offer the best protection in the business.

1. Husky Floor Liners – Both Husky Liners and WeatherTech are some of the first and the best in the business as far as floor mats and liners go. When Husky Liners came on the scene though, their original floor liner took off and is still today one of the best selling floor liners available. They are rugged, durable and will outlast the life of your vehicle, no problem.

2. WeatherTech Extreme-Duty Floor Liners – WeatherTech has been an industry standard for as long as I’ve been selling accessories. They’ve always been known for their superior styling and technology (yes, even floor liners have technology). WeatherTech makes a top quality floor liner, has been doing it forever, and they look amazing.
3. Husky WeatherBeater Floor Liners – Husky Liners have always been a little…rugged. That is, until they came up with the WeatherBeater Floor Liner. The WeatherBeater floor liner from Husky Liners is  everything you could ever want in class and good looks. People with Husky WeatherBeater’s, open up their car on a daily basis just so that their jaws can drop because of how beautiful they are.


Nifty Catch It Floor Liners

4. Nifty Catch-It Floor Liners – Lund International is not an unfamiliar brand in car, truck and suv accessories. Lund has been around forever! One of their specialties is their new and improved Catch-It Floor Liner. Yet another floor liner that will simply wow your customers while offering protection for your floor.
5. Rugged Ridge Floor Liners – A favorite of off-road enthusiasts, Rugged Ridge makes all kinds of offroad equipment, including floor liners. To tell you the truth, I wouldn’t be ashamed to put their floor liners in any car or truck that I own. They look great, and people love them.

Any of the above floor liners will serve you well.

Again, what about floor mats?

If you want something without the ridges, such as a floor mat, the mat that offers superior good looks and decent protection would be the WeatherTech Floor Mat. You will be very happy with it.
