Got my Ford liners this morning. Haven't installed them yet because I have to vacuum first. I did open the box and lay them out on the dining room table to warm up. One thing about it, Ford isn't in any danger of being awarded excessive style points. Why add a sticker or tag explaining the dangers of installing the liners over existing carpeted floor mats when permanently molding the warning into the visible part of the liner will do?

Thanks for posting that picture! Let's all give a round of applause to the legal department for their valuable contribution. Got to wonder what's next... Maybe a warning on the steering wheel that driving can cause death or making you press OK to agree the terms and conditions for driving every time you start your truck.

Fortunately the molded in warning isn't completely obnoxious once installed.

I had a 2015 F150 that I purchased husky mat for and I loved them.. I traded in the truck for my 17 250 and I purchased weather techs for it and I don’t like them at all, thinner and seem very cheap and front passenger side doesn’t fit right at all. The rear mat also doesn’t fit the way it should. If I were to do it again I would go with the husky x-act fit which is what I had before. Husky were much thicker and didn’t seem cheap like the weather techs. Just my 2 cents

I’m liking the fit of these mats just fine. The passenger side is not going anywhere and the rear is perfect. I only object to the stupid warning molded into the driver’s side mat. Otherwise, these mats are well constructed OEM that actually cost less than aftermarket.

I used the weathertech mats I had for my 2015 F150. I had to cut the rear to fit because of the storage bin. I think it came out just fine. The front driver fits good but I do notice the passengers will move a little. They offer good protection and the dirt and mud stays on the mats.

I'm with you. After the mats are in, you cant see the warning very well. These are great mats for fit and finish.

Which Husky Liners are you guys going with? Just picked up my Ruby Red Lariat 2 days ago and want to get some Husky Liners ASAP! I'm thinking the X-act Contour mats are the way to go over the weatherbeater version.
Anyone care to chime in with their opinions on one vs the other? First hand experience is much appreciated!
