I volunteered to post first impressions then a full review of these for the forum members. Currently I have a 2007 Ram 1500 Quad Cab with Mopar Slush Mats that I'm not happy with AT ALL and was looking into getting a set of the premium aftermarket ones. I knew of 3 or 4 particular brands, but have yet to see the Michelin ones in person. I get to see quite a few trucks at work every day and am always looking at what other people are doing to their trucks. Even the $50K-$70K trucks. I didn't feel confident about dropping a couple hundred bucks or more on anything I have seen so far, as they didn't impress me as far as quality look and feel for the money.


I live a dirty, manly existence..... in an auto shop and frequently get into muddy yard/tree work, fireworks shows in cow pastures, etc and I've utterly destroyed the carpet in every truck I've had. I also spill coffee like nobody's business. See current old floor mat pic below. I need something that will stand up to my work boots, digging my heel into the floor and getting in and out of the truck in nasty situations. I also use my floors as storage for god knows what I might happen to be hauling around.


First initial impression: They were way heavier than I expected taking them out of the box. Seeing the thickness of them, it made sense. I haven't seen one this thick from any manufacturer as of yet. The first pic I shot was at an angle so you could get an idea of the thickness of them.


Second: The depth of the channels. It crossed my mind to see how much liquid I could pour into these before they ran over...lol...stay tuned!


Third: The coverage area was more than I expected, especially the back. At first, I thought they sent me the wrong back floor mat, but they were just extremely tight. Well, tight isn't really the word. It was like they were poured into the floor actually.

Fourth: The flexibility compared to certain other mats I've looked at. Some of them are like a hard, plastic like bowl and some tend to have edges that roll up due to their rigidity. Only time will tell if these will get rigid and roll up on the edges, but given the "rubbery" feel, I don't believe they will any time soon.


Fifth: When I first got in the truck and dug my heel in to shift around in the seat, I could feel the traction they had against my boots. No slipping and no mat shifting at all. It felt like they were factory installed floor pads TBH.


For now, that's all I can muster as far as an initial review, but there will be more pics coming in the next couple days.

Feel free to ask me anything that comes to mind. Thanks for your time....

 

Pics in better lighting 2007 Ram Quad Cab.

 

We're glad to hear you got a good first impression!

 

Looks like 2 different floor mats - a one piece and a two piece... which is it? my old floor mats are about the same. as yours except the passenger side has nail polish and there's a decent hole in the driver's mat cuz it couldn't keep up over the years with my lead foot

seat covers are always a good thing too so you can retain resale value or just flat out replace when they're dirty. you can usually find some that are similar to your originals in color or even black vinyl is always a nice touch. and dont forget to scotch guard, even the stuff you're covering up

the farther south or the hotter the place you go - you'll want to cover the dash too, to keep it from fading and eventually cracking.

 

That would be BACK and FRONT

 

Those look nice. When I bought my 2007, I opted for the All Weather floormats. They're better than stock, but they also have a Floor Liner option.

 

I have these floor mats and I've discovered an issue.. I've had my new ram 1500 limited in for warranty work twice for soaked carpet under my driver side mat. Both times were after a heavy snow and I was convinced I had a sunroof or windshield leak. In the second visit the service tech and I were looking at the design of the floor mat and seem to have pinpointed that my $320 set of Michelin edge liners were the culprit... I was entering the vehicle with snow covered boots. After it turned to water it would run to the edge near the door and leak out on the carpet next to the kick panel where there is no lip to control the liquid. It also gets funneled to the carpet near the seat on the same edge. Needless to say I'm not happy. .

 

These are the 2 areas water is funneled to the carpet. ..

 

I made them aware of the fit issue on the newer Rams back last year after I went around the dealership fitting them in different models. They don't go back far enough against the seat frame. There is an arch in the carpet that stops them from sliding back farther. All I got was crickets............
