Ive been driving Lexus SUVs for over a decade now, so I really should know this, but I just picked up a 2024 RX 350h and the factory carpet mats are already looking like a disaster after just two weeks of commuting through the Seattle rain. I usually go for WeatherTechs because they are bulletproof, but I keep hearing people mention TuxMats for the newer RX models. Does anyone have experience with those?

My budget is around 250 bucks or so, but I dont mind going a bit higher if they actually cover the footwell edges properly. I do a lot of hiking on the weekends so I really need something that wont let mud migrate underneath. The fitment on my old NX was always a bit loose near the transmission tunnel and it drove me nuts, so I want to make sure I dont have that same problem again. Is the laser-measured stuff actually better than the generic heavy duty ones or is it just marketing fluff? If you have them installed, do they slide around at all when youre getting in and out...

@Reply #2 - good point! Honestly, if you are really concerned about the budget, have you looked into Husky Liners Weatherbeater Floor Mats? I used them in my old rig for years and they hold up surprisingly well against PNW sludge. Before you drop a ton of cash on the high-end stuff, are you planning on getting a matching cargo liner too, or just doing the front and back footwells for now? I find that buying the full bundle often saves a decent chunk of change compared to buying pieces individually. The laser fitment on these is pretty spot on and they definitely dont slide around like those cheap universal mats from the auto parts store. Theyre a solid middle ground if you want to save a few bucks for your hiking gear.

Building on the earlier suggestion, are you planning on hauling gear in the cargo area too? Be careful with coverage near the door sills. I run 3D MAXpider Kagu Floor Mats in my setup because the multi-layer backing prevents any sliding, unlike some heavier rubber options.

  • Check the material density since some get slippery when wet.
  • Make sure the retention clips lock tight. Do you park in a garage or outside overnight?

Honestly, skip the generic stuff. Over the years I have tried many, but for the RX, TuxMat Custom Fit Floor Mats are just better. The coverage is insane compared to WeatherTech FloorLiner 3D Laser Measured mats because the walls go way higher.

  • They dont slide around at all.
  • Zero mud migration thanks to the extra side coverage. If you hate loose edges, these are definitely the way to go.

@Reply #3 - good point! Honestly, if you worry about mud, just remember to check those retention clips. Also, my dog just started eating my couch foam today. Anyway lol.
