I used Bed Rug Matt in my 2011 Tacoma and I purchased one for my 2024 Tacoma. I keep a topper on my truck so the beg rug doesn't get wet though it can and it dries out on its own. Its been the best.

Availability was key. Got tired of waitng for weathertech and 3D. ( have had my Tacoma 6.5 Months) I bought the TripleAliners from amazon for a great price and I think they are great! I bought the front and rear floor mats. I already have the OEM bed mat.

My experience is limited to Weathertech, and while I find their coverage pretty good, I hate the lack of grip. When it's snowy out and you get in your vehicle with snowy boots/shoes, it's really frustrating when they just slide around like crazy on the mat. Also, a lot of salt on our roads in winter, so I like seeing the carpet near the gas pedal well-protected to prevent salt stains, although I recognize there's some risk there because no one wants another stuck accelerator situation.

Thank you. Would you like to share why you chose rug mats and what you believe are their advantages?

Fit. Coverage. Durability. Ability to easily clean.
We have WeatherTech liners in both of our other cars (04, 18) and have come to really appreciate them. We have not had the "sliding" or "slippery" frustrations others have mentioned.
If I have a liner that is 15yr+ old and looks and functions near as brand new (lost its stick on logo, and is likely slightly smoothed from use/abuse) but is colorfast, unfaded, unstained, and I can chuck it into the ground and hose or wash it without negative consequences... it's a high mark to beat. I can also quickly clean the mats with a spray of scrubbing bubbles and I'm back to unstained.


With that said, improvement areas (and this is where I'm very curious to bring together my truck + TripleA purchase) are (this is seriously the checklist in my head when shopping):
1. Coverage being a robust, thick liner that can take abuse, has a reasonable amount of flex, but feels sturdy and not brittle
2. Fitiment being 100% perfect around its edges to the well
3. Some form of grip pattern that isn't so ornate that I'll curse getting crap out of small corners of the pattern
4. How far up they cover the left foot rest, behind the pedals, and upwards on the passenger side. My WT stops halfway up the "ramp" and collects what is in the front half your boot under the lip
5. "Wings"/ edge coverage. My WT don't have this and the amount that falls vertically down rig in that edge can be annoying
6. Extended "wings" covering beyond the feet to areas equally "crud collecting" such as the carpet edges around the seat base
7. Color options for coordinating or complementing the interior

2nd row:
1. All of the above as applicable
2. Single mat spanning door edge to door edge
3. Goes deep under the front seats until it's bumping up against the air ducts under there
4. Reaches rearward to cover up the back sides and around /under any other carpet catch areas

For everything:
1. USA operations and factory preferred
2. At least USA/CAN/MEX operations
3. Clearly their own unique product that took R&D time and isn't a restamped generic CoMfg mold
4. Companies that back up their products showing they care about the reputation and the sale, not just the sale

Folks feeling like liners should be cheap can expect cheap liners that have a limited lifespan. It costs money to make a product of robust design and enduring materials and on the iterations of CADing them, tweaking them, shop time, material time, etc. and this all has to be calculated back out for the expected life of being able to sell that product.

Quality is a subjective analysis by each consumer on whether the cost to value ratio leans correctly.

Many of us are looking at a liner purchase as a "once per vehicle" purchase, not a consumable.

Give me and prove to me that you hit all the boxes above and I'm more than happy to pay $200-$300 for all three front plus rear - because I'm expecting perfection and lifetime (20y+) durability without ever giving it a second thought.

Hunting for the cheapest option creates a self fulfilling cycle that gives you the part and economy you support - fast, low quality, high waste, mediocre, and gutting things like our own manufacturing base and the associated skills and jobs. I could go on quite a bit here, but recognize I've digressed from the question at hand.
