I'm sure this has been beat to death, but I'm looking for all-weather mats that have a side-wall (not just ones that lay flat on the floor) in order to keep messes in and dirty feet from getting the sides of the carpet messy. I think it's down to one of the Weathertech Floorliners or Tuxmat. The Tuxmat ones seem a little more "elegant", but I kind of like the "utility" look of the weathertechs. I have kids with muddy feet so I'm learning more toward the weathertech (and if so, I'm still deciding on the Floorliner HP or regular).

For those that have these two liners, what are your thoughts and experiences? Common issues? How about the fit? Thanks!

I went with Tuxmat as they have a bit more cushioning on them. Little pricey, but I think worth it.

I have the weather tech mats. I do a lot of camping and they catch all the dirt/mud/sand.

I just installed the weather tech in my 25. Fit right. Have side walls for all the dirt, etc. I pick up down at the cabin. Like the look and have had several compliments on them. Have both seating areas and the full rear cargo area as I have the 3rd row down and never expect to use.

Just installed the TuxMats and they look/feel fantastic. I’ve had WeatherTechs in the past and my vote is TuxMat. I wanted something softer to rest my feet on but still provided protection. These are the ticket!
