Anyone seen the "tub" style floor mats for the 2018s?
Recently got a new 2018 5DR and was disappointed with the included rubber "all season" mats: Hardly any depth to them, zero in fact on the front half of the driver's side, and no protection at all where the driver's left foot rests. I honestly think the carpet ones would soak up more water and ice this winter!
Has anyone sprung for the Toyota branded so called "tub" all season mats? If so, could you please share a photo or two? Our dealer doesn't have them in stock and I don't want to order in if they aren't going to be much better. The photos on the website and/or in the literature are not at all helpful (and I suspect aren't even of the actual product). |

Hello. I see you haven't received any replies, so I thought I'd chime in. This doesn't directly answer your question, so please disregard if my information is useless!
I have the Husky "tub" style mats for my 2017 Yaris and they work great. I think they're about $100/pair, which is a bit cheaper than the Toyota-branded mats (according to the prices on the Toyota website). Again, not sure if this is helpful. Good luck! |

I don't know how well you searched since they are on the WeatherTech website.
Edit: just realized you are looking specifically for Toyota branded. If I'm not mistaken, I think branded mats are WeatherTech. Sent from my Elite_5_5_Octa using Tapatalk

I have the Toyota ones in my car. They're nice looking. However they don't go up under the petals which I think is dumb.

Karl, are you talking about Toyota's optional "tub" style, or the rubber all-weather ones they include? If you have the tub style, can you please share a photo or two?
The more I look at the included ones, the more disappointed I am. At least the ones for our old 2007 were deep enough to hold water and the driver's reached reasonably far forward. These new one are so shallow they arnt going to hold anything, the front half of the drivers is literally flat, and they have a cutout such that there is nothing where your left foot rests. Slush and salt from the driver's feet are going to end up everywhere except on the mat! If Toyota thought they'd get more people to shell out almost $200 for their somewhat mysterious "tub" mats, they'd be wrong: for the first time in over 14 years I may forgo brand-loyalty and give WeatherTech a try, despite the safety guilt trip from the dealer.
