Truck Floor Mats

Anyone with a truck knows you need to have solid, sturdy truck floor mats. These protect your truck's floor from getting torn up and dirty. When looking for mats, you have many materials to choose from, including rubber, plastic, and carpet. Depending on how much you want to invest, you can find mats for as little as $5 or as expensive as $100. Most people decide to go somewhere in the middle. Your choice of mat will also depend on what you use your truck for.

If you use your truck in a field or pasture, you are going to want to go with a sturdy, heavy duty material. One excellent option is made by Weathertech. The company's truck floor mats are ridged rubber that can protect the floor from water, debris, animals, and people. A set of two mats costs just under $50, which is right in the mid-range. These tough mats are available both online and in stores. Most auto specialty stores will carry them.

If you do not spend a lot of time in dirty or muddy places, a set of carpet truck floor mats would be suitable for you. Carpet style mats add a second layer of protection to your truck floor while still maintaining the original look of the truck. While most trucks will already come with a set of floor mats, these may or may not suit your needs. Or, you may find that the factory mats are getting worn down and out. That would call for a replacement. Intro-Tech makes mats that follow the previously mentioned guidelines. The mats are made of carpet, and they can be found online for less than $30.

For something in between the carpet and the heavy rubber truck floor mats, you will find the plastic mats. These usually have pegs on the bottom to keep them in place in the floor. These mats cost between $5 and $20, depending on the size you need. They are available at a variety of places, including home improvement stores, auto stores, and general mass merchandise stores.

Finally, some people use truck floor mats for purely decorative purposes. They are available with sports team logos, cartoon characters, even custom artwork and text. These mats are typically not as high quality as some of the other mats, but if your mats do not see heavy usage, this will not matter to you. Sometimes you can find decorative truck floor mats very low prices. For example, at Big Lots, you can find rubber mats with Looney Tunes characters like Bugs Bunny or Tweety Bird for less than $10.
