Default What I DON'T like about my '13 R/T

The black carpet. Yeah, I know. Slick looking. Took me 20 mins to vacuum it yday. What a pain in the a$$. Redline Pearl with a beige interior would have been better....

I traded in an '08 RAV4 with a beige interior. Held up well over 4 years and 60k miles. Just couldn't get out of its own way. Every time I get into the D my eyes are drawn to the little specs of crap that have attached themselves to the carpet, mats, etc. Obsessive I guess.

I though you were going to complain about the MIL of the carpet, they used some pretty cheap stuff IMO. the carpet is as thin a cardboard. For a vehicle that cost 45K loaded up they could have used some better grade carpet, That's my complaint. Oh yeah one more the overlap where the front and rear carpets meet between the drivers door and B-pillar they should have laid it down the other way so your eye doesn't see the leading edge of rubber and carpet, if it was overlaid the other way you wouldn't see it getting in and out. Their I said it, that's what I don't like about the carpet.

I barely ever see my carpet since I have Weathertech mats. The mats sure do save a crap load of dirt/dust/small pebbles from going into the carpet.

I don't like how you can't fit a bigger sized drink in the front cupholder without scraping it with the shifter. You would think a Dodge engineer would have placed a large McDonalds drink/cup in there during the design process to check clearance. A quarter of an inch and this wouldn't be a problem.

I agree with Ross, the WeatherTech mats are money. Glad I have them.

I also love the husky floor liners, but my only complaint is this....I drove my Tahoe for six years and had the liners, when I traded it in I took them out and bam their is was brand new carpet for the next guy to put his feet on, I bought the liner two days after getting the truck. same with the wife's VW she drove for 7 years and when traded in the carpets were still brand new. So, this time around mats are cheap and the wife decided to go without the liners in her Honda Accord Cpe and me in the DD for now, but I'm sure that will change as we go to Snowshoe WV every year to ski/board and I just can think of all that snow getting on my carpets...LOL.
