Essential interior upgrades for the new Ram 2500 Power Wagon?

Question

I finally got my new Power Wagon and I'm already stressed out because I feel like I'm gonna ruin the inside in like a week. I live in Washington and it’s so muddy here and the kids already tracked stuff onto the floor. I was thinking about those heavy duty mats but then I realized the seats are gonna get wrecked too so maybe covers are better? I have no idea where to start or what brands are even good. My logic was to just get whatever is on Amazon but people say that stuff is junk. I have maybe $1000 to spend right now before my wife kills me. What are the absolute basics I need so I dont destroy this truck?...

I've had Rams for a decade and kids always wreck those door sills first. Grab some heavy duty Mopar Door Sill Guards Stainless Steel to stop scuffs. Also Vehicle OCD Center Console Organizer fixed my clutter issues.

To add to the point above, you might want to consider the seat backs too. My kids basically destroyed my last truck by kicking the upholstery with wet boots, and those stains were permanent. Total nightmare. I would suggest these to be safe:

WeatherTech SeatBack Protector Black to stop those muddy footprints.

Husky Liners Underseat Storage Box 2019-2024 Ram 2500 to keep oily gear off your carpets.

Congrats on the new Power Wagon. I have lived in the PNW for twenty years and owned every generation of Ram since the early 2000s, so I know exactly how fast that interior can go south with the mud we get here. If you want to keep that truck looking new, skip the cheap Amazon generic stuff. It slides around and doesnt actually trap the liquid. In my experience, these are the three things you should buy immediately:

Floor Protection: Get the WeatherTech FloorLiner DigitalFit Black Front and Rear Set. I have tried many brands, but these have the highest walls to keep the muck off your carpet.

Seat Covers: Since you have kids, go for the Carhartt Precision Fit Seat Covers Gravel Gray Front and Rear. They are incredibly durable and you can literally throw them in the wash when they get nasty.

Screen Protection: The big 12-inch screens get scratched so easily by kids or rings. I always install a Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Ram 12-inch Uconnect. That should run you about $800 to $900 total depending on where you shop. Its way better to spend the money now than to pay a detailer $400 every six months to try and steam clean the stains out. Honestly, just get the mats and the seat covers first and you will be able to breathe a lot easier when the family jumps in with muddy boots.
