TuxMat - better than Weathertech, Husky + OEM?

[FakeCowboy]

Coverage is good but I had Maxpider mats on my last vehicle made from the same type of material and I'll go back to Husky and Weathertech which are actual rubber. The material on these tux mat liners will be really tough to keep clean as dirt gets into them and is nearly impossible to get out despite scrubbing whereas I could get Husky liners and weathertech mats from the past looking good as new because they were made from actual rubber.

very sophisticated look, I like that they seem to have better coverage on the sides than their competitors. it would bug me to see the creases from shipping folds.

Interested to hear how easy they are to clean. The surface seems like it would be a pain to get the mud and grime out.
still very nice, congrats

If this is the same material and construction type as the Maxpider mats (which it looks like they are) they are a pain to clean because of the way they are made and the material they are made out of. No matter how much I scrubbed or cleaned they always looked dirty and when you detail the inside of your vehicle and it looks brand new with these dirty looking floormats it kind of defeats the purpose. Salt during winter was especially bad, the salt gets into the fabric type material and all the little recessed areas and the white salt contrasting against the dark mat material just looks awful and is impossible to completely clean out. I liked the price and coverage of the Maxpider mats I used on my last vehicle but I'll stick with actual rubber mats from Husky Liners and Weathertech from now on because they're so much easier to clean and they look brand new when you do clean them.

I agree, that would drive me insane to not be able to get them clean. Even, if it’s just for a short time…..

Compare that to the rubber husky liners and weathertech mats I've had in the past, a few swipes with an armor all cleaning wipe and they looked good as new.

I can confirm, if you are the least bit picky about cleaning your floor mats do not get the max spider. I’ve had mine for 4 years in my Mazda and they do what they’re supposed to keeping the carpets clean, but they look like crap and need a stupid amount of scrubbing to get them even close to looking decent again. I have not had the weather techs or husky to compare, but I will be going with one of these options when I get my truck.
If you do decide to go with max spider though keep an eye on the Costco website, they regularly have discounts on max spider mats that will save you 30%.

What the heck….Ordered front mats.

Front row was back in stock this morning (Bronco Sport, and I assume Escape if they are the same). Hopefully they arrive this week!

I got an email back from Tuxmat asking if I had a Maverick Hybrid and lived in the Toronto area.

Sounds like they need to scan a hybrid in order to make the mats for it.

Anyone interested, should contact Tuxmat.

The Maverick specific mats aren't available yet, but I checked with the company and they said that the front mats for the Bronco Sport are identical to the Maverick, so I went ahead and ordered them. They're about $130 for the first row with free shipping.

A few pictures are attached (apologies for the dirt and salt but it's winter here). The mats extend from below the seats all the way up behind the pedals, and side to side they come up to the plastic trim so the carpets are completely protected. The fit is great, and I'd highly recommend them. The material is nice and almost feels like it can be molded by hand to fit. The snaps align perfectly, and they include little velcro tabs that you can use if needed to hold the mats in place.

I ordered the weathertech rear mat as a placeholder, but will swap for the tuxmat when it's available.

Tuxmat has added the Maverick to their website. Currently listed as coming soon but it looks like the rear mats for the Ecoboost at least will be available soon.

Good news everyone, we have a Maverick Hybrid owner, Yellow Rhino, that is scheduled to have TuxMat scan their vehicle to create Hybrid specific rear floor mats! Thanks Yellow Rhino!

Thanks. I added my name to their 'notify when available' list.

Circling back on this - how have they held up? I have become interested in them now for my Escape PHEV but the installation of a carpet clip was surprising to hear. How was that?

I've only had them for a couple weeks, but no complaints yet.

When I installed them it was ~ 8 degrees F out, and the mats been sitting outside so they were pretty stiff. there were a couple spots where the mat wasn't sitting tight up against the plastic trim, so I put on a clip to pull it back against the carpet so there was zero gap. I suspect that if I took those clips off, it'd be molded perfectly at this point.
