Question about floor mats and mileage range

2 stupid questions and I have searched and cant seem to find out the answer.

Is the Toyota all weather floor mat rear mat all one piece like the husky and weathertech mat?

When the truck says you have 5 miles left and it reaches 0 does it actually run out of gas? Reason I ask is my 07 TL Type-S has a range on it too and you can go between 30-40 miles past 0. Just wondering.

No the Toyota mats are not one piece in the rear.

And you don't run out of gas when it hits 0, there is some fudge factor in there, but I don't know how much. The one time I did it I had 2 or 3 miles before I got to a gas station.

Thanks I think I will reconsider my floormat purchase than. I had the weathertech's in my 06 taco double cab and I didnt really like them too much, they were too much of a hard plasticky feel for me. I really like the ones that are one piece in the rear though. Are the husky mats hard plastic like the weathertech's?

For me, Husky Mats were harder and slicker.

Found out what the fudge factor is for my 4Runner today.
When I filled up, the dash display showed 14 miles left and I had 2 gallons of fuel left in the tank.

I've had the full set of Huskys and now have the weathertechs in the front and rear seat with a husky cargo liner.

The Weathertechs are definately stiffer, but IMO they're not as sliippery as the Huskys.
The Weathertechs fit much much better and don't move around at all.
They both work well though.

If I could do it again I would have bought the Weathertech cargo liner. The weathertechs just fit a whole lot better.

Range stating 0 is the end of your safe range. If you run this too far beyond this number, you run the risk of depleting the fuel in the tank which cools and lubricates the fuel pump (which also resides in the tank), causing pump failure. Last I heard/read, fuel pump replacement is running around 400 to 500 dollars if they have to empty the tank prior to dropping and replacing the pump.

My 2 cents... Fill up before the range hits 0...

RE: the floor mats

I've used just about everything out there between the early 80s and today. 2 trucks ago I tried the Husky, even had some store-brand types from online and local stores in the past. They all are firmer and "hard and plasticy" if they're worth a hoot IMO. Otherwise they are a bear to clean. The harder surface is what makes them a breeze to clean. I've had softer, more pliable ones before, and they stain (with mud and liquid) and are very difficult to ever get completely clean.

My last 2 sets have been WeatherTech digital fit floorliners...and I will not change away from them until something better comes along. I agree with the poster that stated that they fit the best, they absolutely do - and do not move around at all. I put in the front seat, back seat and even their cargo liner in my T4R and am still highly satisfied with their fit, finish and function. I just wish they made a "taupe" that actually matches the subdued taupe in the T4R. WeatherTech's "taupe" is more mus****/yellow than Toyota's taupe leather (which is more "clay"). I went with the silver...and the contrast is tolerable, certainly with the hints of silver in the interior and against the ebony wood grain and black dash and door panels.

True, true, all so very true. When you go below 1/4 tank you are also looking at sucking up the sediment at the bottom of the gas tank into your fuel system. Not a good move.

Its always best to keep the tank full. In addition to the sediment, water can condense when the tank is not full, and water is heavier than gasoline so it sinks to the bottom of the tank and can get pumped into the fuel lines. This happens a lot more than people realize but you typically don't notice it unless its a LOT of water, which is rare. The times that you can notice it are when its cold out, really cold. Last year I was driving to Boise and it was -25 out, gasoline is fine at -25, but water freezes and it froze in the lines. So I was in the middle of nowhere without a heat source. This is an extreme case, but it is a good idea to keep your tank full, for nothing else than because of these volatile economic times.
