Since I use my Expedition as a work truck in addition to a family mobile I wanted to get some good grade mats for all around protection. As the owner of a construction company I don’t have to worry about destroying my vehicle like I did back in the day when I was the main laborer in the field however because I purchased a Platinum I want to protect the investment for when I do move materials around.
I decided to go with the actual Ford brand of rear cargo liner because it velcros in and doesn’t slip around like Weather Tec’s does or other mats. Ford put a very capable velcro on the back so it stays in place perfectly which helps keep my loads from sliding around. Years ago I had a Weather Tec mat and it always slid around with loads on top of it. Furthermore, I love that the the mat is split so I can put down the 60/40 bench one side or both. Also it folds really nicely where the third row crease is. If you buy another brand like Weather Tec or Husky the mat will just roll over and you get a floppy mess covering your cargo.
For floor mats I went with Weather Tec. You just can’t beat their design to keep water on the mat and not rolling over. Also they look very nice and are the only brand that seems to offer a mat that goes all the way into the third row with a mat running between the captain’s chairs all as once piece. It’s really nice that it’s one unit that precisely fits into that area and not a bunch of mats all back there.
Anyways, just wanted ti share this real quick in case you guys are looking. I’ll post pics later and fix grammar later when I get a chance to come back to this. For now was in a rush to post it as I had a moment. Hope this helps ya’ll decide.
PS, I also picked up this awesome pet mat that loops around the two fron chairs and can be put down through the entire length of the vehicle. It has a really awesome rubber grip on the bottom and is water proof. It reaches all the way to the hatch so it’s perfect for putting anything extra messy down or if I hook it up on the second row and put bicycles on top of the mat I can make sure the bicycles aren’t tearing into anything and also I can wrap the blanket around the bicycles enough it’s not scraping the side plastic. Love it! It’s called the Bulldogology Pet Mat.
