The Hybrid floor mats have been difficult to find and buy since I first bought the car in January 2022. On top of it, aftermarket dealers like Weathertech, Husky Liners, and TuxMat offer for the gas Maverick and not the Hybrid. First, I went with the Weathertech cut-yourself-mats, and then the OE mats became available so I bought them.
Weathertech Trim-to-Fit Floormats
Ford OE Hybrid Floormats
Notes
The OE floormats are stiff and mildly flexible, but they fit snugly especially in the back. The driver’s mat snaps well into existing nipple-like holders. The passenger has one, too, but the floormat only has a circular cutout to fit over top of it. They look good in the car and have a cover for the hump in the back. The back mats come in 2 pieces. The instructions call for the flap to be placed under the passenger-side floor mat. Owners have expressed dislike of the fact that Ford did not extend the mat coverage underneath the gas pedal. Most likely, this is for safety/liability reasons.
Usage: After 2 weeks, I like it. Used through heavy rain so far with no obvious slipping of my shoes. The driver side has yet to move as I step in, thanks to the floor fasters. No passengers have complained as of now. Looks good and sleek.
The Weathertech Trim-to-Fit floormats are very floppy and malleable, and I’d describe it as soft yet sturdy. It comes with attachable floor grips for the driver’s side, but I still felt like it would slide a little when I stepped into the cab. Grippiness is moderate, and I was not afraid of my shoes slipping when they were wet. I was more worried about the mat holding still because those red things are not very useful. Since I am no longer using them as floor mats, they now work fantastically as a barrier and tailgate protector when I’m loading, unloading, and driving with things like stones and pavers.
