Thank you everyone for posting pics and their experiences, I'm ordering some Husky liners asap :clap2:
A few follow-up questions for you guys in relation to a 2016 Trail I have on the way:
- Does the passenger side in current 4Runners now have 2 locking tabs like the driver's side? From reading this and other floor mat threads, it looks like old 5th gens didn't have locking tabs on the passenger side.
- Are these tabs twist-to-lock?
- Do both Husky and Weathertech mats have appropriate locking tab holes for both driver's and passenger's sides? Old threads on this subject complained about the Weathertech liners moving around on the passenger side, but if they now secure to locking tabs, I guess it's not an issue anymore?
- I read in another thread that Weathertechs were slippier than Huskys at one point when wet, but the newer Weathertechs are grippier and more-textured than before. Can anyone with the newer ones confirm if they're still slippy when wet?
- Does the OEM cargo mat provide the same coverage as the Husky cargo mat? I don't like the Weathertech cargo mat and how it's rectangular, lacking the wings that provide extra coverage at the sides behind the wheel wells, but I also don't like the enormous lip at the back of the Husky liner. I'd like the coverage of the Husky liner with the flatter rear like the Weathertech.
- Does either brand have problems with the 2nd-row mat sliding around?
Much appreciated for any help you can provide. I got my 4Runner without any factory mats, so I hope to have this worked out and ordered before my baby comes in.

I have a 2016 (Limited, but I don't think there's likely to be a difference between the trims).
I can confirm that both front mats have two locking tabs each (all the same twist-to-lock style). My Husky liners have all the necessary hardware. (Since I have Husky liners so I can't comment on the slipperiness of the Weathertechs, but my Huskys are not particularly slippery.)
For the 2nd row the fit is very snug. I'm not sure if it's because of all the spikes on the bottom or because the single continuous mat covering both sides (going over the transmission hump) doesn't give it a lot of degrees of freedom.
I can't speak to the cargo area since I don't have a mat there.
Thanks for the answers guys! Hopefully someone can chime in on the Weathertech and OEM cargo mat questions.![]()
For people who have the 3rd row seats, I'm curious to know what mat did you go with.
I went with this:
http://www.amazon.com/3D-MAXpider-Custom-All-Weather-4Runner/dp/B009TA5MZA
Although when I bought it it was only $49.99
It's never made sense to me. I talked with the guy at the dealer when I dragged the matt to the back of my car to check out the placement. We both discussed how the only fix would be to cut the mat and attach it some how.No. You can't buy the Canadian version here in USA.
The USA one is 1 giant piece for the 3rd row equipped 4runners. Meaning if you have the 3rd row mat, and you need to put the 3rd seats up, you are stuck with, WTF do I do with this mat now. Which means you end up trying to roll it up and stick it into the little spot between the seat backs and the gate and pray it doesn't unravel as you drive around. Which also means you have zero truck space.
This is perfect! Pretty similar to my wife's all weather mats in her Outback, I was going to try and rig something together to copy it. I just emailed them asking if they'll ship to the lower 48 States.Thanks for the part number. Only place on the interweb I could find it was here...in Alberta, Canada.

I have the canvasback for the cargo area (with 3rd row) and I'm happy with it. I wish the dog didn't slip around so much on it. I've considered just going with the OEM rubber mats for the rest since they're fairly cheap on eBay.
Dang, thanks for the insight guys. Super helpful. Looks like it's Husky for the cargo mat in that case.
Just left with questions 3 and 4 at this point!
Thanks for the find! I'll be picking this up when I get some spare cash.

If I can't get that mat from our neighbors to the north, I think I'll be going with a canvasback.
If you hear back please post back or PM me as I'd be interested in what they have to say.
OEM cargo mat doesn't have the wings that go behind the wheel well where the D rings are. I had that previously
Here's a pic from my forsale ad:

That's only if you do not have a 3rd row. I have the OEM cargo mat for the 3rd row and it does cover the entire area including behind the wheel wells.![]()
