How to Buy Weather-Resistant Truck Floor Liners

Keep your truck interior clean without dropping a huge lump sum right before the holidays.

VoAtlas editorial Updated · 3 min read
Typical cost $250 before anything else
Across the 0% window $13.89/mo 18 months, no interest

How we got that: $250 spread evenly across the 18-month introductory window on the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card. Checked · at the bank Carry a balance past the window and the standard APR applies to what is left.

Your truck is a workhorse, but mud and salt destroy the floor carpet fast. A good set of custom-fit liners saves the resale value and keeps the interior from looking trashed by mid-winter.

We look for these during Black Friday because accessory brands slash prices to clear warehouse space. At $250, you are paying for thick rubber that snaps into the factory floor clips.

Remember that the 18-month window is a deadline, not a gift. If you still have a balance after those 18 months, you will start paying interest on whatever remains.

The steps

  1. 01

    Measure your floor space

    Check your truck's exact make, model, and year. Don't guess, because generic mats slide around and cause a safety hazard under the pedals.

  2. 02

    Wait for the holiday dip

    Hold off until Black Friday weekend. Most major auto accessory sites drop prices by 15% to 25% then.

  3. 03

    Use your payment window

    If you use the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card, you get 0% for 18 months on purchases and balance transfers from date of account opening. This lets you pay about $13.89 a month to cover the $250 cost without interest charges.

  4. 04

    Prioritize coverage

    Look for high walls that cover the transmission tunnel. You want the kind of plastic that keeps spilled coffee or melted snow trapped on the liner, not on your carpet.

  5. 05

    Install with care

    Once they arrive, make sure they click into the factory floor posts. If they move even an inch, adjust them immediately to keep your pedals clear.

  6. 06

    Check the card terms before you commit

    Every figure we publish for the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card carries the date a person verified it against Citi and a link to where they checked. Intro windows and APRs change without notice, so confirm the current terms before applying.

Common questions

Are universal mats just as good?

No. Universal mats are usually cheaper, but they never fit the floor contours perfectly. You will end up with dirt leaking underneath them.

Do I really need full coverage?

If you live where it snows or rains, yes. The high-wall design is the only thing that stops salt and slush from soaking into your truck's carpet.

Does the 0% interest period apply if I miss a payment?

Missing a payment can void your promotional rate. Always set up an auto-pay for at least the minimum to keep the deal active.

How hard are these to clean?

Very easy. You just pull them out, spray them off with a hose, let them dry, and put them back in.
