Fit and look great. I do wish the Ford ones had a little better coverage under the gas pedal, but they’re still nice and feel as high quality as my old Weathertechs.

Yeah. that's an insta-no for me. I can't imagine it's safer to have the edge right by the bottom of the pedal. Seems like having the mat go all the way back is actually safer.Wow, there's like no coverage under the gas pedal... a place your foot and debris is almost guaranteed to be. Must have been considered a liability by Ford's lawyers.
I find these are nowhere near the quality of the WeatherTech's I have for my Grand Caravan. These are very flimsy by comparison, and there is the (lack of) gas pedal coverage as noted. In addition to that I can see no reason why the passenger side front does not have a way to mount to the factory hook like the drivers side does. Also the rears are 2 piece, which I'm not crazy about but not a big deal I guess.Fit and look great.

Maybe I got a lesser set of WT's than you did, but from handling them, and looking at them, they feel just as good to me. I wish it covered more, but it's not a deal breaker and I don't have to deal with snow in FL, so....I find these are nowhere near the quality of the WeatherTech's I have for my Grand Caravan.

I assume they didn't want an issue like Toyota/Lexus did a decade ago with all the crashes.. Must have been considered a liability by Ford's lawyers.
My understanding of the toyota issue was that the clips were faulty. I think the actual mats were similar coverage to the ford mats. If they had been full length they wouldn't have been able to slide on top of the pedal causing the unwanted acceleration.I assume they didn't want an issue like Toyota/Lexus did a decade ago with all the crashes.
Maybe on the first go round (they've had several), but the issue in '09 seemed like dealers were supplied with overly thick and poorly designed mats.My understanding of the toyota issue was that the clips were faulty.

If only weathertech would get it together and start making laser fitted floor mats for the hybrid...I find these are nowhere near the quality of the WeatherTech's I have for my Grand Caravan.
They’re grey.In these pictures the mats look brown/pewter color. Other pics I've seen they look black?
I also do not like the lack of coverage under the gas pedal; ordered mine through Pfieffer Ford only because no WeatherTech available for the Hybrid yet.
