Floormats for Telluride - good options?

[corinnemongillo]

Does anyone know if there's a two piece rear cargo liner that can be used with the 3rd row down or up? Toyota made one like this for the Highlander.

Yes!! its part # S9H12AP000 has to be ordered through the dealer is what I've found on my research

Has anyone had experience with the Kia brand all weather floor mats? It looks like you might have to purchase them through your local Kia dealer, but it seems like the price is comparable to the smartliners all weather mats, though slightly more expensive because it doesn't include the trunk liner. However, the dealer websites don't have many pictures so it doesn't show if the second row mats has liner between the captains chairs or not. Just curious as I hadn't really seen any mention of the actual Kia brand mats.

I was looking at this through the dealer website as well and from the picture its hard to tell if the trunk space would be very usable with this cargo liner and the third row up as it seems once the cargo liner is folded up it would take up most of the trunk space? Curious if anyone has any experience with this as I was looking into this item as well!

I bought my all weather floor mats on Ebay.

I asked my local dealer and they said, "The Premium Cargo Liner that you asked about would need to be Imported from Canada and I am being told it is on back order."

After much debate we decided on the Weather Tech HP floor liners. Only purchased the first and second rows. No one will ever sit in the third row so we just left the OEM carpeted mat in third row. Also purchased the WT cargo liner behind the third row. Completely satisfied with the fit Of all. Easy to install and remove. Very easy to clean. Highly recommend.

I did the same thing except Tuxmats. Only first and second row since like you, third row use will be minimal. Seats are actually down majority of the time. Enjoy.

Good options?

The short answer is:

Anything but Tuxmats

You don't drive a fugly Outback, so why chose fugly floor protection?

Don't freak out, these are just my personal options, mild critiques and current rankings of some of the better players in the game.

You and your Telly will be fine with any of these quality options:

#1: OEM All-Weather Floor Mats <--- the most comfortable material for heels and soles of feet, perfect thickness, perfectly measured fit, perfect attachment, perfect aesthetics, "TELLURIDE" stamped into the material / made in South Korea

#2: WeatherTech FloorLiners HP <--- 2nd/3rd row coverage handles the center hump, center aisle section that the OEMs don't cover / 2nd most comfortable material after the OEMs / good design / made in the USA

#3: Tie: WeatherTech FloorLiners and Husky Liners <--- solid performers. I'm not a fan of the higher edge lip for the front row liners (driver side/passenger side) or the bright advertising logos even as a fan of WT and Husky / made in the USA

#4: Smart Liners <--- finally saw the new ones and they're pretty good, not much drop off from the previous domestic production and everyone here seems happy with the ones cut and measured for Telly. So far so good, right, @superk1977?

#5: ToughPro <--- unique closed-cell design that traps slush and snow and mud and fluids without long channels that allow fluid to run directionally like other designs / cut from sheets of material that resemble a harder polymer than rubber materials that are more comfortable / one of the better lower price options / no outer lip that catches any drips around the edge which isn't a problem because the closed cells catch over 95% of anything, but in case you rest your boots at the edge, some slush/water can get around the edges / made in the USA

Good luck y'all !!

A QUICK RECOMMENDATION ON CARGO MATS:

* if you want cargo mat recommendations, I only have two products, the OEM Carpeted Cargo Mat with Seat Back Protection (60/40 split) and the ToughPro cargo area liner.

The OEM mat is perfectly measured and cut to protect the back area edge to edge and attaches securely with velcro already installed on the bottom of the mat. The bottom layer is fully rubberized so nothing is getting through. The mat is thin enough to put additional protection on top should you elect to do that.

The ToughPro cargo liner is awesome because of the closed cell design. It's more plasticky polymer feel than rubbery so it doesn't quite bend and flex like a rubberized mat. I also had to grind and sand down the side edges just a tad bit to make it fit more flat, more flush on top of the OEM Carpeted Cargo Mat, but this thing will handle some dirty jobs and it's currently not in the Telly but rolled up in a garage in NorCal for later use.

MAYBE GIVE THE NEW-IMPROVED TUXMAT TEXTURES A CHANCE?

* even though I rip on Subarus and particularly clueless Outback drivers and the fugly Tuxmats, we need to give Tuxmats some credit for listening to harsh, brutal, savage feedback from blunt, direct, merciless people like me and updating their mats. Supposedly the dumb pinning idea is gone and supposedly Tuxmat has updated that godawful basketball skin texture to something much better. New Tuxmat owners, please describe the finally improved Tuxmat design because I don't have a set of their new products to describe and critique

So far so good... Like the Smartliners. Easy to remove and clean...looks great.

I see people here describe Tuxmats as the more upscale looking mats... So which is it?

 

[jefre44]

I want to get good floormats to protect the car, and there a lot of choices on Amazon: OEM, "TOUGH Pro", "Tux Mat", etc. Does anyone have a good experience with a particular company that they'd like to share in terms of fit, quality, etc? Thanks!

TuxMat all day. You will not be disappointed. Love them in my SX-P

 

[jefre44]

They look good- better than rubber by far.

Agreed. Long time user of Weather tech, but would never go back to them. TuxMat is where it's at.

 

[Genblue]

Agreed. Had Weathertech in my past two vehicles and given the choice, I'd go with TuxMat.
They look and feel great!

Love my Tuxmats. Much nicer than Weathertechs in my opinion. Buy with confidence!

It’s personal preference.

Do they look “upscale” to you?

I prefer the clean look of the OEM all weather mats and after trying different mats, I can still say that I prefer the material of the OEM All Weathers under my feet

Dune Brown Interior Feedback

Got a call from dealer today who told me the Nappa leather (I ordered Dune Brown) is having supply chain issues and my 2021 SXP will now be delayed again. This is my 3rd delay since my February order - First June, then July, then August - Now October. I am a bit of a skeptic on the delay...

Also, check my previous posts re: floor mats if can find them via search.

FYI: The Kia OEM mats are made in South Korea.

 

[jefre44]

Ok- not a fan, and they cover the floor, nothing else. So, all good. I guess that’s why we enjoy the freedom of personal choice.
