Semi urgent truck selection help needed

[ramblinChet]

Can someone school me on the preference for the vinyl flooring? I'd assume that it doesn't have any water drains, and if so it's not like you can spray it out. I'd imagine that the carpet helps with sound and you can easily add husky liners to get the same protection while also being able to take them out. What am I missing?

It's real simple...men that use their bare hands to do things like turn dirty wrenches, field dress game, etc. choose vinyl floors. The other 97% with the soft hands and softer bellies are the ones who go with the carpet.

And sound doesn't matter to the vinyl floor guys since we are deaf from shooting guns, hanging out in loud bars, drag races, etc.

Looking good! Those running boards are pretty much required on these new rigs....

I agree, I am going to put something better on at some point, but I got the dealer to install them at cost and no labor, so definitely worth $380. I have had the same ones on my old truck for 10 years with no issues.
My wife still needs a boost

Edit: the new truck sits 3-4” higher at the bed than the ‘12 2500, and it’s on 34” Toyos. (New truck is on 33s)

Spent too much time raptor lining the bed and fluid Filming all the frame and body cavities . I used the new PB Blaster surface spray on the outside.



12 cans of the blaster, 7 cans of the Fluid Film.

If yer asking why..... you'll never understand.

Speaking of vinyl floors.

I ordered the OEM rubber floor mats from my local dealer, while not as manly as the whole floor (I haven’t shot, been shot, or amputated anything lately, so they will do)-they fit like a glove and cover the carpet very well.

Definitely worth $170 for the fronts and rears.

My only complaint would be that the rear is two pieces that interlocks(nicely) together vice a single piece, and the front driver(ironically the most used one) does not cover high up past the pedals(I’m sure due to “stuck gas or brake pedal lawsuit BS” . The passenger one goes up high

I’ll get pics, they fit very well.

Love my front oem rubber mats but not the two piece rear ones. the seam where they join together doesn’t allow the rear seat platform to lay right when you have the rear seat folded up.

My truck came with a large one piece rubber floor mat for the rear. It might be worth looking into for you, the rear floor sits flat when the seats are folded up, and it does a great job of keeping the carpet under it clean even with two dogs back there.

What truck is this? I’m about to order the stow and go?? Folding floor stuff(mines a Tradesman and didn’t come with them.
Is the factory option worth having? I have a wood and machine shop and could whip something up if needed, but factory would be nice
