I'll take that second row off your hands if you go with the solid one piece 2nd & 3rd row.

What color are all you guys going with on the Limited with Med Stone interior? The carpet and trim in those trucks isn't really black but it's not Cocoa either. Anyone have pics of black or another color Weathertech mat on that color interior?
I also read a post on here that said you had to remove the 2nd row buckets to install the one piece mat. That seems really crazy that they would design it that way considering people do have to clean under the mats ever now and then. Any work arounds for this?

You do not have to remove the 2nd row buckets to install the one piece matt.
Husky finally released their third row liner that also covers the "walkway" back from the 2nd row. I can't wait any longer for my rear mat solution. I generally prefer the Husky Weatherbeater material to the Weathertech (and have the Huskys for my front seats) but I'm open to all options. Any regrets with the Weathertech one piece? Anybody get something to work to keep the 3rd row portion from sliding around?

I've got the cargo liner. Put plastic-dip on the backside to keep it from moving!

No problems with my Weathertech ones. Love them.
If Husky finally released their mats for the 2nd and 3rd rows why wouldn't you go that route since you prefer them over Weathertech? Do they not have the X-Act contour mats you were discussing earlier? Curious as to why you like the Husky over Weathertechs. I've only owned the Weathertech so I have no ideas of the difference but need to pull the trigger on one or the other soon. I've looked on Husky's site and didn't see any options for a different type of mat. Do you have to call to order the X-Act mats?
No, they don't have the X-Act Contour mats for the Expy yet. I'm tired of waiting for them.
The WeatherTech mats feel a little thinner and more plasticy than the Husky WeatherBeaters. The WBs have a slightly rubberized feel to them, but nowhere like the X-Act Contours. In my experience with WT mats, as they aged the sides started to peel up/away from the walls of the foot wells. It was as if they'd warped; I was easily able to stick my entire hand in the gap between mat and wall. I read online that many people have never had this happen to their WT mats, but once bitten twice shy and all that. I've since owned three sets of Husky WB mats that never did this. Also I like how the Husky mats have little spikes that really hold on to the carpet whereas WT don't, but this may be moot by the plasti-dip method mentioned above.
I'm hesitating to get the Husky 2nd and 3rd row mats because I like the idea of a one-piece solution like what WT offers.
My Weathertechs haven't really warped but overtime they do look really roof. I'm not of a fan of the hard plastic feel and would rather than be more of a rubber mat but I've always gone with Weathertech. I also think I would rather the 2nd and 3rd row mats be separated. We live at the beach so I'm constantly pulling the mats out to wash them down. I can see pulling a sandy mat out and dumping half of the sand into the bucket seats. I think your details on the Husky mats have convinced me thats the way i need to go. Thanks for your help.

I do not have the Weathertechs for the Expy but have had them in my past 4 cars. Comparing to my previous mats and looking at some of the other pictures of the weathertechs posted in this thread, the Husky's do not fit as well. At least the mat that I have. The second row mat is snug over the plastic feet on the buckets, this causes it to bow up in the middle up against the front console and bow up on the ends. I haven't put the fronts in yet so just noticing this on the rears. They do not feel nearly as strong as the weathertechs and they are about $100 more for the complete set. I don't like the plastic feel of the weathertechs and that was the reason I tried these but IMHO the Weatertechs do feel stronger and look like they have a better fit than the Husky.
Is there a factory carpeted mat option for the 3rd row? If not, is there an aftermarket carpeted mat that is a close match? We have a bench middle row. We are in Texas and don't really need the all weather mats.
Finally got my weathertech mats today, wasn't very impressed the fact that my rear mat has dirt splashed all over it, as well as a dirty boot print. The material seems thin compares to my 3D Maxspider ones for the F150. considering the limited options out there right now, I will use it until I find a better mat later on.
I too would like to know if there is a carpet mat for the 3rd row and between the 2nd row seat walkway. My expedition came with carpet and rubber mats. The rubber was in when I bought it and the carpet ones bagged up, so I left it like that for now. I prefer carpet.
Bought the 3 row rubber mat from Husky. It is decent, fits ok and snug, but is thinner and more plastic feeling than I thought it would be...not rubbery.
I didn’t get the weather tech because the second row was attached to the 3rd row via the walkway, plus I had the second row, but in hindsight I think it may be easier to clean them in the vehicle so one piece or two pieces doesn’t matter if I’m not going to the trouble of removing them to clean.
