Honest opinions on weathertechs

My boss got MAXLiners for his Frontier. They look identical to Weathertechs. The badge is even in the same place.

 

I've owned both. Had Husky X-Act Contours on my 06 I traded in. Weathertechs came in the 2013 I just bought. I do like the more rubbery feel of the Huskys. But I like the locks better on the WT. It seems the screw down holder things on the Huskys got real tight between cleanings and were slightly hard to unscrew. The WTs also come over the scuff plate more so there's that. I have nothing against the WTs but if I were buying new mats from scratch then I would probably go with the Husky X-Acts. But since the new truck came with WTs, I'm keeping them.

 

i do complain about my WT but mostly because of the fronts....cant complain about the backs. they fit like a glove and protect the floor very well, id get the backs again if i had to.

 

Weathertecs were the default go to until Husky X-act Contour came around. The X-act are superior in every way. They cover more, they are flexible instead of rigid so they drape and won't curl, they are not slippery so anything set on them stays there and they also have bumps on the bottom that prevent any sliding of the mat itself. The Weathertecs are made from a rigid plastic more like a cheap trash can lid than a mat.

The Weathertecs have been around a lot longer so a lot of people have them and they do cover the floors well. That said get X-act instead. And don't get confused by the Husky Weatherbeater which is a different cheaper mat no where near as nice as the X-act Contour.

 

I wish the weathertechs had a softer feel, which i believe the husky's do, never felt them. The first day i put the weathertechs in was quite a shock from the carpet i had in before. That being said, i dont notice anymore at all, they protect great and i have no complaints. Would i buy again, well it would be nice to physically see the husky's for comparison, but i have definitely recommended friends and family to buy some weathertech's at least. In winter, theyre invaluable.

 

I have no complaints about my weather techs.

 

I bought my '10 with the all weather mats, which I liked a lot. After 5 years or so I had worn holes in the driver mat, so I went shopping. I wanted the Toyota all weathers again, but I would have had to buy a set of 4, which I did not need. Weathertech offered just the fronts for about half the $$, so I went ahead and bought them. My first impression was that the felt softer and less sturdy than the Toyota mats, then I put them in place and they just don't fit properly. There is a big gap along the transmission tunnel, which allows loads of crap to accumulate.

Not that I really care a whole lot, they are in fact cheaper than Toyota branded rubber mats that keep wet crap off the carpet, so they are doing what they are supposed to do. But after suffering through the company's 15-page spread in countless car mags over the years, they certainly did not meet my expectations.

So far they've held up OK though, I have not worn through them any sooner than originals.

Just to be clear again these are "mats", not "liners", which cover up a lot more carpet and look like they are designed to exactly fit the truck.

If I were to buy a new taco again, I would opt for the Toyota all weathers again. They look and fit like a proper match.

 

No complaints about mine. I purchased the Digital Fit Liners. I've had them in my past 3 vehicles. My '12 Tundra was the first vehicle I put them in. When I pulled them out when I sold the truck, the carpets still looked perfect. They did their job, protected the carpets well. I've had them in each vehicle since, and as a bonus, I've sold them for $100 when I've sold the car they were in. I'm sure you can do that with Husky liners, too, though.

I'll have them in my next vehicle, too. That reminds me, I should order some for my wife's Jeep. If they made them for my '67 Cougar, I'd put them in there, too.

 

I've had my Weathertech digital fit liners pretty much since Day 1 when I bought my Tacoma in 2011. No complaints whatsoever. They get the job done and are a breeze to clean, when needed. I have them in the front and backseats.

I remember trading in my old 2004 Honda Civic that had a nice worn-out hole in the stock floor mat from my heel. Good times.

 

I really like my WT mats. I thought the rears looked kinda weak, so I do not have those. Also, can't comment on the Husky ones. But the WT are really useful. I've never totally drenched mine but in the winter time, they do a good job with the snow and clean up easy.

 

Weathertech liners front and rear. Love them.

 

They're floor mats....

 

I use John Deere matts that my kids gave to me for xmas

 

I did a little research myself when buying my liners and went with the Husky x-act fit. Absolutely no issues and I would do it again

 

The owner is wrong. Honestly, the Husky's are a superior product and fit our Toyota's better.

 

Summary: you asked about weathertech's, they are great.
You didnt ask about Husky's, they are also great

 

They are both great. I would get which ever has the best deal at the time.

 

I like my WeatherTech liners. Good fit and easy to clean. I'd buy again.

 

I dislike my weather techs..edit- I should of been more specific. I dislike the fitment. I have gaps on the sides and prefer a better fitting floor mat.

 

I ended up buying Huskey weatherbeaters for $150 shipped.thanks for the opinions.
