Hey y'all, I was settled on the husky x-act contour mats, but then the tuxmats came into play. I'm considering this for Kansas where we have all seasons all year long, and I have a fully loaded back seat with kids in car seats. I like the husky's, but the tuxmat seen to cover a little more and look a little nicer. This is the main family vehicle, so I'm thinking about all that more then the normal "a trucks a truck" talk. Does anyone have the tuxmats and care to do a review? I'm unsure about all the extra clips I'd need to put on, but if it works it works! Tuxmats are sightly more expensive(about $40). Tia!
My last F-150 had a great set of Husky's and they were absolutely perfect for every season.

This time around, I skipped the factory carpet mats and ordered my truck with the factory rubber mats for $160, which is a bit steep for a set of mats but they look and feel great. I could've ordered the mats with the carpets, but didn't see a reason to have both so my sticker says "Liner-Tray Style-No Carpet Mat $160".

Yep, I have Ford's rubber mats in the front and back (crew cab) and they get the job done.

Made in Canada, that is where they shipped from.
Made in China, sold by a Canadian company, seemed to be shipped (very quickly) from a US warehouse. I am happy with mine. I laid them out on the driveway on a hot sunny day and then put them in the truck (to say "installed" seems a bit much...they are just floor mats, not something really involved like a shorty antenna). I used zero of the clips and don't yet see the need for any.

Another option to consider:

https://3dmatsusa.com/collections/c...ducts/kagu-floor-liner?variant=42283818516640

I've got these, and I know a few other guys on here have them. Not quite as much coverage as the TuxMats, but I prefer these to my old Husky and WeatherTech liners from vehicles past. They're an interesting texture and material...soft but durable. The TuxMats might be better in some ways...just another option to consider.

I've had the TuxMats for over a month now. Really love the look. My truck is more of a daily driver than a work truck and prefer the more refined look of the TuxMats versus Husky or Weather Tech. I have also placed the Platinum carpeted mats over them. I think it looks great. They dry fairly quickly and vacuum easily, nothing gets stuck. They also feel a bit more slick while still having some texture and don't appear to capture dirt/debris the way some of the softer mats do. Cleanup is easy with a quick wipe of a damp cloth. I did end up using the velcro clips in a few places to ensure they never move given I have kids jumping in an out all the time.

I went with the WeatherTech and was VERY disappointed to find that they're more "hard plastic" than "soft rubber".

…until I dumped a 20oz Peet’s Coffee on my floor and the WeatherTech contained every drop like a bathtub.
:oops:

I've had 1 set of weathertech mats -- first and last, well technically they replaced them once from curling, not a good product at all. Factory came with all-weather, think it was FX4 that added them possibly, more than satisfactory. Pulled them out the first time this weekend and there was nothing under them.

Is anyone able to give some insight on how well the Tux mats clean up? I'm kind of a neat freak with my truck and was wondering if it's as easy as wiping them down and they retain their original shine like rubber mats. Thanks!
