What Are TPE Floor Mats and Why Is Everyone Switching to Them?

[notfast]

I had Husky Liners in a past vehicle and I don't plan on getting molded floor mats again after that experience. I found them hard to remove and clean, and they would have condensation on the bottom on occasion.

I've had the same Good Year branded generic all-weather floor mats from Costco for about the last 15 years and 200,000+ miles across several trucks. They still look great and they are easy enough to "taco" and remove without scuffing up the interior.

The ones from Sam's Club appear to be of similar quality.

I considered WeatherTech but ended up going the cheap route with a set of Smartliners

SMARTLINER Floor Liners for 2022-2026 Ford Maverick Hybrid Models

Was having some issues keeping them clean over time using regular car wash, and trim protector made it slick and cause my heel to slip while driving. Recenty tried a cleaner specific for rubber mats, and it's been working great. Not glossy or slick, gets rid of any embedded dirt / oil /grime with a simple brush, and gives it a new finish after drying. Will see how long it lasts between applications.

We are? Never heard of them… guess im cheap… Factory works.

I normally get Husky liners for my vehicles, currently still using the Ford Maverick liners that came with my Maverick. Fortunately they passed the first winter well. Although I'm liking the look of those Michelin ones in your pic how's the coverage up under the pedals?

Glad you like the look! But our floor mats are temporarily out of stock. However, you can check out our Truck Bed Mat! It’s made from the exact same premium TPE material.

I put these in my truck right after I bought it: TuxMat

They come up much higher on the side, and they don't get slippery when wet like the WeatherTech ones do. Someone told me they look like bullet-proof vests! Two winters of slush, mud and sand and they still look like new. (so does the carpet underneath) Pro-tip, don't let anyone apply silicone or Armor All on them!

Good experience with my TuxMats.

Nothing wrong with factory carpets. But if mud or rain ever messes them up, you know where to find us!

TPE is a pain in the butt to clean....

Try hitting it with a hose or pressure washer next time. It makes a huge difference!
