Researching good floormats
Aight guys. I am almost home from deployment this month and wifey was thoughtful to see about getting me a small addition to the truck for returning. She mentioned wanting to get me nice floormats like weathertech but I know I have heard of other ones too like husky so she told me to look into it. What is out there that you guys have experience with? the good, bad and ugly is appreciated along with ballpark prices/purchase locations. I will be googling mats but I prefer hearing from you guys with your personal experience to help with my decision.

Planning on kids as soon as I return so will definately take that into account. Good to hear the comparison with the Husky's. So not many other brands out there to consider alongside WT mats I gather?
11 years and counting USAF here. And yessir, once military always military. Its hard not to be that way especially if you do it most of your life.

I haven't had too much luck with any of the others. I had purchased Ford rubber mats, but they would slide and crap would get under them. I bit the bullet a spent the money on the WT' s, no issues at all. There is virtually no exposed carpet in the second row floor, and if you are clumsy like me, anything you spill up front stays in the liner or will run directly over your door sill. Never touches the carpet. I have had these 3 years now. Carpet still looks brand new.

I don't like rubber matts . Prefer a carpeted look. The Lund (Nifty) catch-all are great. Regular interior look with hose down cleaning. And they actually hold water instead of draining it onto the floor. Many matts just funnel the water to the carpet.

Yep. Rubber backed but with some fuzzy on it that looks like the carpet. I can vacuum it, or hose it, or flat out scrub it. Had the first set for about 8 years in a Jeep and it was fantastic and did not color fade. If a bunch of snow melts I just pick it up and dump the water outside. No spills.
My wife had the heavy rubber matts in her Subaru (OE equipment) and it terribly stained the carpet from the rubber rubbing into the carpet.
