Floor Mats - Weathertech or GM?

Just picked up my new GM all weather floor liners today and color me impressed. (Got the front ones free using the MyChevrolet points received for buying the truck... Thanks Chevy!) They are great looking, have a great feel, slightly softer and more pliable than WT and use the oem floor anchors to keep them in place on the driver's side. Plenty of lip around the entire perimeter to keep spills in place. And the Grey Chevy bowtie looks great! I'm not sure how truck owners continue to use the carpeted mats that come with the truck - to me these should come standard at the Z71 level.

We will see how they look in a year or so, but look like a high quality item at this point. Picking up the rear ones tomorrow - had to pay for those dammit...

Anyone want some carpeted mats!? :)

love mine also.

looks like they changed them a bit. Mine go over the door sill plastic part. But I read many complaints how they would curl up and get pushed up by the door so maybe thats why why cut them inside the door sill cover now.

There are two different types of mats on offer now. Well, more than two really but for the explanation as to the difference between yours and OPs. Yours is a "deep well" that has the lip that goes over the sill and a higher wall on the inside that covers more of the carpet. The other is like the OPs.

This thread has more info on that:

After watching a comparison video on YouTube, I picked up a set of Husky Weatherbeater Floor Liners for the front. I like that they are a little softer than the Weathertech Liners and not as "noisy" when I shuffle or move my feet. Previous vehicle was a Ford Ranger Sport model with the all-vinyl flooring, and I got used to the low maintenance convenience of not dealing with carpeting. Don't think I'll ever go back to the carpeting or the carpet mats.

I've had the GM mats in my truck for over a year and they're great. With an occasional rinse, or scrub, they still look new. Wifes car has weathertech.....doubt I'd ever buy them again. Hard plastic........just like the previous post said, they're noisy. I too, would look at GM mats or Husky if I ever needed different mats.

My GMC front mats are the same, but with the larger lip that extends into the door sill as was already mentioned. My truck was used and they came with, but had carpeted mats in the back. I did get the Weathertech for the rear and like it as well. The Weathertech was slightly cheaper but in hindsight I think the GM one covers more area.

I have had Husky's, Weathertech and GM in my vehicles. I will never use Weathertech again if there are GM or Husky options.

The Weathertech fit well but they are a harder plastic They scuff and if you use one in the cargo areas will slide cargo around.

The Husky and GM are very similar and softer. they just have a better feel and clean up better.

I have the GM mats now and love them. 3 years old and still like new.

The mats I really loved in my Sonoma were NPI carpeted mats. They were deep well mats but made with a indoor outdoor carpet that matched the interior of my truck. With them in it looked like stock carpet. You just take them out and hose them off and they were clean. Lund bought NPI and they have only had limited selections since. I still have a set in my Malibu but I could not get them for the Canyon or Acadia.

At this point I swore off Weathertech anymore. Great marketing and advertising but I prefer the softer feel of the Husky or GM. If GM or Husky did not make a mat I would go Weathertech but if the others were available I would go with them every time.

I don’t like my GM floor liners. The driver’s one at least. I got fed up and trimmed it so it didn’t get caught in the door anymore and that was good for a while. However, now I need to put some two sided tape on the edge near the foot brake. It keeps getting caught there now. The rest are good and they do seem to otherwise fit well and be of good quality.

I have the WeatherTech in my truck. used them basically since day one.
But, I would say any floor liner is much better the having floor mats. Keeps floor cleaner and easy to get debris or fluids off of them.

Agreed! You have to use some kind of oem or aftermarket liners - tiny carpet mats that come standard are ridiculous. The fact that I can spend $35k on a truck and that is all it comes with is just as ridiculous though. Step up your game GM...

Not a bad deal at all. Good use of your MyChevrolet points. Assuming you mean Floor Liners front and rear. of $70 after the points.

The key is that you have Floor Liners and you like them. So that makes it a Win/Win.
Just because I have WeatherTech, does not mean everyone else has to.

Neither, I like these better they fit well and are soft, the weather techs were a harder plastic and scuffed easily. The Husky's hold water well when you hop in and your feet are wet. Plus for longer rides they have some decent cushion to them.

To each their own!
