Weather floor mats - Smartliner, Husky, or Weathertech?

[OXHB619]

The vehicle manufacturers, such as Ford, are the OEM's

gotcha, my understanding was more in line with this:

“Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts are built by the company that initially made the parts for the auto manufacturer.”

So whoever sells to Smart Liner and Rough Country would be the OEM. But potatoe-potato.

I’m just a frugal shopper and want the best bang for my buck.

But I didn't like how Ford's mats skimped by the gas pedal.

I would wager this is fallout from Nate going under gas pedals years ago, and this was done out of an abundance of caution.
I have them in my current XL, I would keep them if they covered under the pedal. Lots of dirt/debris in that spot, and I live in the city so not like I’m doing farm work.

Anyone try the 3D Kagu all weather mats? They look really nice but I have not purchased before.

I have this brand in a 2020 Escape and they are nice, perfect fit. Will get the same for the Maverick. Getting close to two years use and they clean up great and look like new. Makes vacuuming the inside easy as they snap in and out and all the dirt stays in them and not on the carpet.

I never really paid attention until it was mentioned here. I went out to my Escape and my mats don't go under the pedal there either. But since I was leasing my Escape it wasn't a concern, but now that I'm buying my Maverick, I want better.

I say expensive ones in the front, cheap ones in the back. Whatever covers the side wall as the Maverick carpet attracts a ton of crap that is extremely difficult to vacuum.

Try AutoAnything.com

They have 10% off promo plus 15% off orders of $99 or more. Plus their Customer Service chat feature is awesome. They're great at price matching too.

Thank you for the information. Seems the one AutoAnything selling is only for Ecoboost not for Hybrid? Thanks

Best bang for the buck! Smartliner, husky, or weathertech? Looked at tuxmat but that cost is brutal compared to smartliners $127.

Also needs to protect under the gas pedal and the higher up on the sill the better.

I just received my new 3D MaxSpider Kagu Mats (https://3dmatsusa.com/collections/c...ducts/kagu-floor-liner?variant=42237848846496). These are HANDS DOWN the best fitting custom all weather mats for the Mav bar none. I read many reviews comparing them to WeatherTech, Husky, Smartliner, and Ford mats and they exceed them all in my opinion. The link is to the 3D site itself, but you can buy them at Real Truck or Auto Anything and Google for a coupon. I got my full set for $147.00 instead of $180.00 retail. Once you receive them you will both see and feel the quality.

I have these in my wife's Lexus and my daughters Rav4 and they are great. I have these in my Volvo C30 as well but have finally worn a hole in the drivers side from changing gears over the last 5+ years. Can't be upset at that though (FYI my wife's are 5 years old too and they are still in great shape),

I will get a set for the Mav at some point.

I called April at Smartliner to confirm my email and the anticipated restocking of hybrid mats for the same discounted price of 129.99 (down from 152.93) and she said the end of October to begininng of November is still the targeted time frame.

Dictionary defines OEM as "original equipment manufacturer, an organization that makes devices from component parts bought from other organizations. "

Hint: the component parts bought from other organizations are bought from Tier 1 suppliers.

I'm kind of not gonna answer the actual question by voting for WeatherTech as my favorite brand in general. Their products are built in the USA by American workers (shame the Maverick isn't). They're really a company to be proud of. I always buy from them.

I got the TUXMAT front and rear. They go under the gas and 5" up the sides. I don't have truck yet (this week hopefully). I know, they were expensive compared to some, but seem worth it. Not American made, but made in
Canada. Their ok, eh?

They priced out at 198.90 for a hybrid set. I'm going to wait out the Smartliner shipment.
