Hi again,

Since getting my new 2024 Expedition Platinum, I'm doing my 'new car routine' of setting it up with WeatherTech. I bought the cargo area mat, the smaller mat for behind the 3rd seats, the combination 2nd row and 3rd row floor mats, and the front set. The WT photos of the front floor mat online, show the mat coming right up to the panel, and no further. But the actual mat has a flap, that - as you can see shows I now drive a Ford Expedition 'Inum' ha

In short - anyone have any info on better-fitting mats? These will do the job...but they're not a great fit! I also saw the actual Ford mats - for the Expedition. They look pretty great, and a much better fit. Open to suggestions!

Thank you!

I don't have them in my Exp as it came with the Ford mats, but I've always preferred the Husky Xact Contours to weather tech on my other cars

Your vehicle doesn't come with factory mats for front rows? Factory mats on second row are just better than nothing there, but their mats for the first row are awesome.

The vehicle came with black carpeted mats - front & rear, with the 'Platinum' logo on the front two. Very nice! But as we approach winter here in New England, I was looking for weatherproof mats. The carpeted ones will be destroyed!

My vehicle came in with two sets, carpet and rubber. That may be because my vehicle has the black accent package, with all terrain tires. I seriously recommend the factory rubber mats for front row. They are the soft (easy to be taken off), and work very well.

Great to know! Thank you! I saw them online, after the WeatherTech didn't work out. They look excellent, but hearing from someone who has them? Sold! Thanks again!

I went with Smartliner for my 24 Limited. They have a shiny finish, but I like the full lip coverage for the driver and passenger. The second and third row is a single piece, which I prefer because of large dogs.
