I've always "had" good luck with Weathertech Floor Liners. However when I purchased them for my '09 Ram, after the first year my drivers side liner warped slightly toward the had pedal, which became an issue with liner slipping. A friend of mine had the same exact issue "before" mine warped in his Chevy Traverse, and switched to Husky Liners, which is what I did as well. The spikes on the bottom side keep the liners nice and firm, and I haven't had any issues with them now after almost three years.

Thats a great price!

I did find a diff brand, not sure on their quality...here
Not much cheaper than mustangguy's find for the WeatherTechs. Looks like Weathertech also improved the rear mat for 2009+ years! sweet.

I have the factory ones and they have been in the truck for about two years and the front drivers side has a hole it it from where my heal sits. I work in an office so dress shoes is about all they see. I want to get WeatherTech ones next time, If I had to do it again I wouldn't get the factory ones. They don't protect everything and up here in NH it is a battle to keep the carpet from getting salty around the mat. They aged okay, look wise, but they are floor mats so I didn't expect them to stay new looking. I to liked the idea of getting the Ram logo and I like the factory look but with a hole on one already I feel that they did not hold up that well. Hope that helps

My experience with weather techs is that even when old and they start looking worn... simply power washer them then let dry. Once dry spray them with a non-greasy interior cleaner like you would use on your dash. Rub it in well and wipe excess off. They look brand new.

Please bear with me, I'm trying to post some pictures of my "cheapo" floormats but I don't like the size that comes up.

Hello all,
Interesting thread...
I have a two quick questions.

1. The center hump, vs. the console certainly seems to be a different. And I have the 2011 1500 CrewCab with the center console. However, best I can determine, none of these manufactures differentiates the console models from the non-console models. Anyone bought a set of the Huskies or Weathertech with the full center console, and do they fit correctly?

2. I have the tan/brown interior.


I haven't found a manufacturer that makes anything close to the dark brown carpet, and the weathertech tan is actually much lighter than the tan, I believe. Any suggestions on color options?
TIA

Weathertech makes different mats now for the console vs no console front. Before they only sold for the console and left the carpet in the middle uncovered. The profile of the floor is exactly the same regardless of console or not.
