Removing carpet
Hi,
I'd like to see what my options are for replacing carpet in my truck with vinyl flooring (regular or "premium") Is this as simple as purchasing the flooring as a single piece and swapping it out or is it more involved than that? I know the seats and trim would have to come out. Still seems like a Saturday job to me unless the dash has to come out or something. Anyone do this? Thanks

Yep, and I would have ordered mine that way, had I ordered it...

I wanted vinyl flooring in my truck until I went to the lot and looked at them. Both regular vinyl and premium vinyl looked and felt wrong. Maybe I was expecting "vinyl of old"... tight fitting and thick, neither was something I would want. Got the carpet and OEM mats. Best choice for me.

Yes, I drove another King Ranch with the premium vinyl and wanted that,..but few and far between with the options I wanted. I really liked the premium Vinyl over the carpet.

I've never seen premium vinyl up close. Just pictures. I like the regular vinyl fine, but you'd want mats over that or it seems you'd wear it through. It's not like the tire rubber flooring I've seen in some trucks.

I guess the Husky mats wouldn’t suffice? They fit really well and have very good coverage. I thought about ordering the carpet delete but went this route instead. No complaints so far and it’s easier than taking the seats out :-)

I got lucky... the truck i wanted to buy wasn’t even on the lot yet, but had platinum + ultimate, upfitters & vinyl floors. Done!
It was great on sunday when I was changing out of snowboard gear in the backseats to sweatpants after a serious powder/blizzard snowboard session. I was soaked and snow went everywhere... next day everything was nice and dry!
