Default Mopar Slush mats vs. Weathertech?

Anyone have the Mopar Slush mats? Are they good enough?

I am leaning towards the Mopar mats, I can order them in the matching dark slate color, they have RAM or Dodge on them ,and are slightly cheaper.

Reviews are good for Weathertech.

Checked some out at Cabela's...they seemed pretty thin for $200+ , and color is only in Black, Grey or Tan

I have them. I think they are excellent. I've always liked the style of the factory ones better than the Weathertech ones. I've had Mopar slush mats for two Grand Cherokees and the RAM now and they've all held up perfectly. In fact, I have the set for the 2005 Grand Cherokee still sitting in the garage waiting for a new home.

Get the mat for the rear seat area too. It also fits well and looks great.

The weathertechs cover everything, the mopar mats do not. The weathertechs are thin, which is a point in their favor since they don't get in the way of anything the cover.

I had the same debate as you did. Each of them had their pros and cons, but I ended up getting the Mopars. A guy was selling them in the classifieds and I got a really good deal on them. They were basically brand new so it was a no brainer. One thing that kind of turned me off to the Weathertechs was the feedback I read from some people who said they would curl up around the edges after a while. I don't know if those were isolated cases, but it was enough to turn me to the Mopar mats.

I got the weathertechs. They survived a Canadian Prairie winter and my carpet underneath looks like brand new (2011 ram CC). I usually wear out factory floor mats in about 3 years.

I've had both. My Mopar wore out on the drivers side in less than two years. They are good but water runs over the edges and they don't protect as much area I bought the Weathertech now and I like them better. I wish they had the dark slate instead of the black, but they do look ok. Too early to tell on the wear factor yet.

weathertechs are the ish. they cover everything and roll right over the sill, so dirt, water, etc cant get anywhere. I had them in my 3rd gen that I used for work, took em out when i sold the truck and the carpet was brand spanking new underneath

Weathertechs for sure. I had Mopar mats but replaced them with Weathertech, the Mopar ones leave to much area exposed.
