So I finally pulled the trigger and got a 2024 Silverado and I am honestly so pumped but also kind of terrified of getting the inside dirty already. I live out in rainy Oregon and it is basically a mud pit half the year so I know I need some serious floor mats. I have no idea where to start though so sorry if this is a dumb question but what am I even looking for?
My logic was that I should just find something made of heavy rubber but then I saw these ads for laser measured liners and I dont really get what that means. Do they actually use lasers on the truck? I keep seeing brands like WeatherTech and Husky popping up but they look exactly the same in the pictures so I have no clue why one costs more than the other.
I have about $200 set aside for this and I really need them by next Friday because I am taking my golden retriever to the lake and he is gonna track so much muck into the cab. A few things I am worried about:
I just want something that wont crack when it gets cold and actually fits the floor perfectly. I am so scared of buying the wrong size and having them not fit right. Any ideas for a total beginner?...
Agree on Husky, tho unfortunately I had issues with generic mats sliding and almost wrecking my truck...
Congrats on the 2024! You're gonna love it. Since you want to stay under $200 and still get that perfect laser fit, you should definitely check out Smartliner Custom Fit Floor Mats for Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab. Laser measured literally just means they 3D scan the interior so the mats hug every contour of the floor pan. It is amazing how much better they fit than universal ones! I have used these for years and the TPE material is fantastic for mud. You definitely have to pull the carpet mats out first tho... stacking them is a huge safety hazard. For the muck your dog is gonna bring in, these are perfect because they have a high lip around the edges to trap liquid. If you want something even more rugged, Rough Country Heavy Duty Floor Mats 2024 Silverado are another awesome choice that usually cost way less than the big name brands. Both use the factory clips so they wont slide under your pedals at all. Just hose them off when they get gross!
In my experience, Husky Liners X-act Contour Floor Mats for 2024 Silverado are honestly the best. They wont slide around. They're way softer than those stiff plastic ones too.
