Having spent the last few months with our 2018 Ford F-150 XLT CrewCab provided by the fine folks down at Metro Ford in Port Coquitlam, B.C., we noticed that, although the interior is well designed and provides ample amounts of storage space, there were a few shortfalls. The small OEM floor mats provided little protection for the majority of the truck’s interior carpet and, although you are left with a ton of space with the rear seats folded up, it is essentially just a large flat area that doesn’t actually secure any cargo, leaving it to freely roll around while driving.
After doing some research, we contacted our friends over at Husky Liners, who specialize in correcting exactly these problems. Luckily for us, the Husky team was generous enough to send over a complete front and rear set of their X-Act Contour Floor Liners, as well as the GearBox Under Seat Storage system, all designed specifically for our truck.
Once we removed the OEM mats and went through the very easy install, which was as easy as you’d expect, we immediately noticed a huge improvement as the FormFit, vehicle-specific design left very little interior carpet exposed throughout the whole truck, and we now have a secure spot to store smaller items we don’t want rolling around in the back seat area. This will preserve our vehicle’s interior for years to come and will make day-to-day usage just that much easier.
The X-Act Contour Liners are designed to hold spills or any mess in the liner which makes it easy for us to simply remove, clean, and put back in without anything touching the actual interior of our truck. This will come especially in handy during the winter months, where our shoes and boots are covered with snow, mud and road salt, which often make it impossible to keep your vehicle clean.
We’d like to once again express big thanks to the crew down at Metro Ford for assisting us with getting our F-150, and to Tina and her team at Husky Liners for providing us with the ultimate interior protection and functionality. We look forward to many, many years of interior cleanliness.
