New 2021, no floor mats?

Lol, or that the plastics scratch too easy and leather gets wrinkles...

 

Vehicle margins are very skinny, everyone is shopping and even traveling to drive the price down. If you got Free floor mats, there's a chance you didn't get the best deal on the truck. They're not free, someone has to pay for them, is there any meat left on the bone? If you shopped and shopped, yeah there's hardly any profit in the deal, so absolutely nothing will be thrown in for free. I'll still never understand how an adult thinks he can get free shit.

 

Mine came with the rubber ones. Dealers often package their vehicles based on the preferences of most buyers in their region. For example the dealer where I bought mine here in CA near the beach packages most of their tacomas with black lettering, rubber floor mats, and without steprails. Looked at a different dealer inland and most of theirs had step rails, no floormats, etc. So it was clear to me that buyers in these different regions had different preferences.

 

Is this your first new Toyota? The carpeted floormats are kept in a plastic bag in the back seat from the factory. When you take delivery, Toyota's lawyers require the sales advisor to give you a lecture about pedal entrapment before showing you how to lock the mats in place with the floor hooks. If the truck was a showroom model, dealer trade, etc., it's possible the mats were forgotten in the sales advisor's office.

Both the carpeted floormats and the rubber mats have basically no value on the used market. (You can list them for $20 on Craigslist and there will be no takers.) I ended up giving my rubber mats to a friend for her to use as boot trays.

 

Yep, long day and i did not catch the auto correct it did. Thanks, i think?

Yep....

 

In Canada they include rubber and summer mats as well.

 

I only got rubber in Canada recently. Seems there isn't any standard.

 

Yeah, Up here they’d definitely get called on the carpet for no mats.

 

I can speak for Canada, all Toyotas come with both sets of mats. It's the standard -- for Canada.

Lexus started including the second set of rubber for the 2011 model year.
Toyota started including the second set of rubber for the 2012 model year.

Around 2017-2018 Toyota Canada started offering the tray-style mats as an accessory for some models, but the vehicles still come with the regular all-weather type.

Carpet has been included since at least the mid-90's and hasn't changed.

Well then I guess I got fd. Picked up a '21 in Kelowna in October. Rubber mats only. Doesn't matter anyway as they're shit, put Weatherbeaters in.

 

Sounds like it, and yet life goes on.

Haha

It might be a good thing because you don't have to store them . I get a new vehicle and put the factory mats under a bed till I get rid of it and then I have to go get them out .

 

The rubber mats are now repurposed as shoe trays by the front door for the wet winter. Whatever works!
