    Just go with what you think you'll like best. They are pretty close to the same thing just different patterns for the most part. It's like a ford vs Chevy debate

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    I have felt both and prefer the Husky. They have a more "rubbery" feel that isn't as slippery as the weather techs which feel more "plasticky" to me. I also had a warranty case with Husky where my boot rubbed a hole into the driver's side mat. They sent me a free set with just a few pictures and some emailing. +10 customer service for the win.

    Oh and husky because husky.

    I have the weathertechs and I like them. The husky's look like they might be nice as well.

    I went with Husky because they have the little "tits" on the bottom to keep them from sliding. That may not even be a problem with Weathertechs. I don't know.
    For the rear mat, I got Maxliner because it was 1/2 the price of Husky and Weathertech. It doesn't have the tits, but it's lodged between the front and rear seats, so it doesn't slide at all.

    I wouldn't mind having little tits in the taco. I knew there was something missing when I bought my Weathertechs. :(

    I went Husky based on research and recommendation by friends. They have been perfect. I love the rubber feel, the spikes on the bottom to keep from slipping, and the passenger side clip down to keep from slipping. I get compliments on them all the time too.

    I went Weathertech. Best mod for $200 or less imo. Saved me from 3 drink spills and countless muddy feet. My moms property has a road base drive - that shit will trash your carpet in no time. I had to get something.

    I have no experience with Husky so they might be great, but I associate the name with shitty tools that will strip bolt heads, and have had Weathertechs previously.

    No complaints with the Husky liners. Fit great.

    Seems to me you can't go wrong with either one.

    I looked at both. Went with Husky because the Weathertech was more of a hard plastic and the Husky was more of a rubber feel. I have been very satisfied with the Husky. Probably can't go wrong with either.

    Went with the Husky Weatherbeater also. Some think they are "plasticky" - but they are formed, so fit very well, and have excellent coverage. My experience is the Huskys have better coverage than WT's - particularly up around dead pedal. Nubs on bottom help prevent them from shifting around - especially on passenger side where there are no retaining clips.

    Canadian Tacomas come with Toyota rubber mats (NOT the new "Tub style") as standard. They are probably OK if you live in a dry climate, but are no good for snow/slush. Mine are sitting in a box in my garage. Not even worth offering to someone for free. Shipping costs are probably ridiculous.
