Hey PCH4R. If you search both of those items you will definitely find lots of pics of them.
Seems to be a split between the two. I bought the Husky's after reading the WT's are a bit slippery when wet and also show dirt a bit more. Just what I read, not what I know.
Here is one 14 page thread: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-g...s-new-discussion-husky-vs-weathertech-12.html

Just flip a coin. Heads= WT and Tails= Husky. Both look great. I'm going to do that but hope it lands on heads lol

FWIW - I have had both Weathertechs and Husky Liners. I prefer the Weathertechs as I think they have a better fit and finish to them, better coverage and I prefer their matte and slightly textured surface.

I've got weathertechs and I love them. They fit perfectly.
I have the Husky liners and they too fit perfectly. Here's what I don't understand:
Why do people think they have to choose one or the other?
You can mix and match if you want the best of each company. What are your individual requirements?
For me, it was simply this: I needed the best coverage in the rear cargo area because that's where I throw all my wet, nasty, mud and sand covered gear when I'm done with a shoot. I rarely have passengers. I don't have any young kids. All I need for the front passenger area are easy to clean rubber mats of some kind that'll handle muddy feet, and ALL of them work for that (Weathertech, Husky, or even the Toyota all weather mats).
In my opinion, Husky covers the cargo area better, and Weathertech covers the passenger area better. Mix and match if both are important to you. If you're like me, then maybe all Husky is the answer. If you rarely carry messy cargo, then maybe all Weathertech is your answer. If you like 4Runner logos, then maybe the Toyota mats are the answer. What do you want/need? They all work, and I sure don't think there's much difference in fit/quality/durability between the Husky and Weathertech choices. The Toyota mats will work too for most people....they just cost too much for what you get (not quite as thick/durable as the other two).....but they do have nice logos

I bought a 13 in Feb 13.
Weathertech sent me the wrong floor liners (floor anchors), I asked them to send me the right ones and they sent me another incorrect set.
Maybe they have the new ones, now, maybe they figured out how to tell them apart.
I have a set of Toyota rubber mats for 60 bucks I got off of amazon, new, and they've held up fine.

I have to agree, they both will do a fine job, just get whichever is more readily available, or cheaper, or smells better to you, or matches your wifes' shoes,
or pleases your dog better!
Seriously, the people over on the Sprinter or Jeep forums would LOVE to be worried about these kinds of trivial things!
Confession: - despite my comment, I went through exactly the same indecision, and finally went with Weathertech. (should we have a poll: WT or Husky?) LOL!
I do like the logo on the Toyota 4Runner mats very much, but one thing I think we can all agree on is to choose floor LINERS over floor MATS. Just go through one Canadian winter, and then see, and SMELL, the mess under the mats because the slush soaks into the carpet in the space between the mat and the centre hump, and between the mat and the door sill plate.
Get the Liners!

A search will pull up a lot of opinions on this issues. Went through a similar process as OP a few months ago and I can summarize like this:
- Some people's Weathertechs didn't fit well, but most did, some people Huskys didnt fit well, but most did.
- Some prefer the styling and rubber compound of the weathertech, others preferred the Husky.
- 98% of people who bought either are happy with their purchase regardless of which brand they chose.
In the end I went Husky because a) it had better dead pedal coverage than the weathertech and slightly better coverage for the second row liner (see pictures in thread linked above), and b) they were about $70 cheaper for me.
They fit great, with the only essential tweak being taking the three minutes to cut off the carpet grip "nubs" where the liner is against the door sill.

I don't think there is much of a difference in coverage based upon the pics. As mentioned above, the Husky's do have better dead pedal coverage though. This is important for me as we get a lot of a slush and salt up the wazoo in the winter and when I took my front liners out in April: zero salt on the carpet. There may have been a couple of specs from splashes, but no accumulation anywhere. The ridge near the doorsill does look a little higher in the Husky's too. I vaguely recall someone mentioning they were able to lift the liner right out of the vehicle after a liquid spill and they really found that helpful to just rinse/dump it out.
Anyway, I bought the Husky's mostly because they were cheaper, but also because of the couple of small points above. I think [MENTION=111106]Peyto[/MENTION] is right though. The 98% "rule" applies and either way you'll be satisfied and get near identical results.

I'm a husky user.
Price is right, my last set went 4+ years ,and after a scrubbing they showed zero signs of wear. They protected the carpet underneath and it looked brand new when I sold the truck.
Additionally, the rear cargo mat covers more area than the weathertech.
I paid $250 for the front, rear and cargo mat on Amazon.
