3rd Gen Accessory Thread

On my old 2016 Tacoma with manual, according to Husky, I had to use Weatherbeater up front and X-Act Contour in the rear. The Weatherbeaters are stiffer/harder, therefore required with the manual because of the clutch movement. The X-Act Contour was a bit softer and definitely easier to handle in the rear as a one piece unit. I am going with the X-Act Contour both front and back. Hope this helps.

 

How do the Husky's compare with the Weathertech? I have always used Weathertech in the past but open to discussion on which is best.

 

I'm currently using the Weathertechs in my Crewmax, and like many have said, the rear Weathertechs have a very thin lip that bends inward, so it's not as good at protection as it should be.

 

From Husky:
The main difference is that the X-act Contour uses a special rubber material called DuraGrip that's known for its soft, pliable feel. If you like to go barefoot in the car and still have something to squish your feet against, this is the mat for you. The WeatherBeater is made with thermoplastic olefins, or TPO.

From what I read, the X-ACT is more rubber like than Werherbeater, thus may not be as slippery. I have WeatherTech in my 2015 and my wife and kids slip sometimes getting in. I was thinking the X-ACT rubber style might be a good solution.

 

Wish it came as a 30 piece and included a mat for the storage compartment above the glove box.

 

I bought this but don’t have my truck yet. Should only be a couple weeks now. Will post something once I get it.

 

I have had both and the Husky X-Act is by far my favorite.

The X-Act is more rubbery with better slip resistance; the Weathertechs are like a hard slippery plastic compared to the Huskys.

 

There’s a lot of wasted space in front of my useless Qi charger. I read about a shelf accessory that turns the “valley” in front of the Qi into usable space. If you have a link that’d be much appreciated, thanks!

I had Weathertech liners in my old 4Runner and the wife has Husky liners in her Ford. I definitely prefer the Huskys.

 

I personally prefer the Husky because of the way they come up and over the sides of the door threshold. On my Tacoma, they always stayed down with no curling. My Toyota Dealer Service Manager told me a lot of the Weathertechs seem to lift or curl up a bit and they hit them with their foot getting in at times. I don’t know, but I’ve had great luck with the Husky’s so I’m going Husky.

 

I have the Weathertechs in my Tundra. They were included in the truck sale. I had the Huskys for around 40k miles in the '19 F250 I traded out of. The Huskys seem to be more robust in the material they are made of and were like new when I got rid of the truck. I considered trying to sell them but didn't feel like doing the work. I would have purchased them as soon as available if the truck hadn't come with the truck. If buying new I would recommend the Huskys over Weathertech.

 

Are the husky mats the same for both 22 and 23 models?

 

What is weird is the best luck I have had in all 3 of my tundras were the factory Toyota ones. My weather techs curled up on both my previous tundra and the wife’s explorer at the time.
Yet same story on her current rx350, factory Lexus ones seem the best

 

Yes. There should not be any difference between 22 and 23

 

I have never seen Weathertechs that did not curl up. We used to put them in our work trucks. Then they started using Husky and they are light years ahead. I think Weathertech is overrated.

But to your point, my truck came with OEM all weather mats, as part of the negotiations, and I am satisfied with them. I don't see any reason to replace them with Husky at this point.

 

I have ordered these but delivery date is not until December 9th, so it will be a while before I can report back.
Reviews seem good, especially for the price point.

 

You think they've redesigned the floor of the 3rd gen Tundra after 1 year??

 

Folks, I apologize but have not read all 65 ages of this thread. Can anyone confirm if the dealer can install the OEM power running boards and bed step? I don't know why they wouldn't be able to but am getting mixed signals. Thx.

 

That's what I was afraid of. Unfortunately, I changed my mind on the first truck (was 4x2 and waited for a 4x4) but the 4x4 does not have the factory installed Power Running boards. There are no aftermarket options available yet that I am aware of either.

 

Theres a few out there, I think even yota garage has one.

Does anyone have a promo code for huskys floor mats? - Mostly asking to see if anyone is an affiliate and has their own promo code. Ratehr use that than this "Kristen baker" code that Honey is trying to use

 

Just got mine and installed this afternoon after work. Quick and simple, seem like a decent quality plastic. For the back guards, I had to make the holes where the plastic push-in grommets go a little larger and make sure those same grommets lined up correctly with the existing holes. Once I figured that out, installation took only a couple of minutes per corner. Mine came with screws but I just re-used the existing screws. Pics below.

 

Thanks

 

Tow Hooks Installed

Just installed the aFe Powersports 2022 Tundra Front Tow Hooks.

 

First mods on new SR5 TRD include LED tail light strip above bumper, combo bak mx4 & truxedo Elevate FS Rack & T-slot rails. Combo looses the stock bed rails due to not being able to use the MX4 hardware. I made some parts to drop the MX4 hardware to keep the bed rails. Also drilled holes in Elevate FS rack to enable a height in line with the top of the cab so the truck would still clear my garage door. All good, happy with the functionality.

 

front of the truck looks so good! I’m even divided on the stache with the lunar rock

 

Thanks for the pics.
Are we all in [sad] agreement that unless you're being pulled by a turtle, the hooks are but a red ornament?
(unless you're looking for a quick and easy way to disassemble you're entire front end)
