Features to look for when deciding what kind of floor liner to purchase

One of the most vulnerable surfaces of your vehicle is the interior floor. Left unprotected, snow, water and the salt used to battle a harsh Canadian winter would completely destroy the interior of your truck or SUV—unless of course you have the right floor liner in place. With dozens, if not HUNDREDS of products on the market today, what are some of the things you should look for when purchasing the right floor liner?

The first thing to consider, and this is a no-brainer, is how well the product can keep water, dirt and salt away from interior surfaces. Canadian weather is no joke, so you have to be sure that the floor liners you purchase can handle the weather that we experience day after day. That being said, a liner with deep ridges or reservoir to trap liquid should be at the top of the list for things to consider.

Secondly, look for a product that is custom fitted to your particular make and model. You won’t be doing yourself any favours by picking up a generic liner at a department store—universal mats tend to leave areas unprotected, look sloppy and most importantly offer only partial protection to your interior.

Finally, choose a floor liner that is easy to clean. Because easy is good.
