    I like mine. I got them used off of a member here. I can see where some might not like the holes, but I'm not tracking snow in while down here in Texas, so it doesn't bother me. I don't think getting in the truck during a heavy rain gets enough moisture in there to matter, either.

    They certainly have a function > form feel to them, but, hell, it's a truck. At least the fit really nicely.

    Note there are 2 styles, the laser fit and the 'All Weather' heavy duty mats. I've run the all weather ones in a couple trucks and liked them, though they were a little spendy. I didn't like how there were minimal troffs in the laser fit versions for dirt/mud/water, so I went with the all weather and generally like the look better, though they don't cover edge to edge like the laser fit versions.

    The weathertech site shows these as options for my 2015, the laser measured "floor liners " (2nd pic) look to have a lot more coverage then the all weather model, thanks for the tip

    Yep, the laser ones do offer more coverage. I ran all weather in my 2003 Tacoma and put them in my GF's Mariner.

    I don't know what people mean when they talk about the holes. These mats lock in perfectly. No hole once they are locked in. I like the lock, keeps them from moving.

    So far I really like mine. Going on 2 months with them. They clean nicely and keep the thin carpet protected. I think they are worth the money.

    Only complaint I have is the material is stiff so when taking them out to clean it kinda spills dirt everywhere so if you have a dirty truck you'll need to vacuum before taking them out. The firm material is necessary for them to function properly and not curl.

    My front weather techs I bought used. Leaps and bounds better than the real tree mats and really any other mat I've used or my family has used. Which is usually $20 mats but still, I'd definitely buy again

    I also like the rubberized feel of the Husky mats compared to the smooth plastic feel of the Weather Techs. If I remember correctly, the Husky liners have spikes on the bottom that really hold them in place and the Weather Techs do not. I have been very happy with my Husky mats.

    and god forbid if they slide....weather tech said they wouldn't warranty mine because they were sliding and that was causing the curling of the sides. BS

    Husky 100%. The open hold down holes in the weathertechs were a dealbreaker for me. I've never had an issue with them and they fit like a glove.

    IMHO husky's feel more rubbery and the weather tech feel more plastic. I got the husky's after i saw/touched my bosses weather techs.

    the weather techs get very slippery after you wash them. well that's if you use a conditioner. i like to use 303 areospace every now and then, but even the armor all wipes that isnt supposed to leave a residue will make them very slippery

    Haven't owned Husky's. My Weathertech Digital Fit are one of the best mods I've done. The hold down holes have not been a problem but I don't live somewhere with snow. My Weathertechs don't slide around either but nor do I ever Armor-all or 303 them either - just hose em down.

    i think the people that have problems with them sliding are mostly the ones who dont use the anchors.
    mine didn't have the anchors when i got them with the truck, but my biggest gripe with them is just the sides curling in the heat.
    i wouldn't say the 303 protectant makes them slide more but it does make your foot slip more on them. some people armor all everything (my dad) so getting into his truck is like stepping into a slipping slide

    After having both Husky and Weathertech floor liners in my Tacomas I prefer the Husky liners. They fit better and are easier to remove for cleaning.

    I bought weather techs as soon as I got my 2008 and have never regretted the purchase. Living in SW PA we experience some pretty drastic weather changes and conditions throughout the year. They have held up well and I would certainly purchase them again. Four stars for weather tech ++++

    i had mine for a few month now and its awesome. Paid about $90 for the fronts. within a week i could see how much crap it collected. i would buy it again if i had to. i work across a shop that installs weathertech and husky liners all day and the owner said the weathertech beats husky liners any day. you wont be disappointed with weathertechs
