Vinyl vs. Carpet, opinions and recommendations.

I do still run floor mats though in the front (generic cheapos, weather tech doesn't make any custom ones for my truck).

Just checked, they offer them for the 2004-2010 Rangers, but not earlier ones. As far as I am aware the floor pans didn't really change on the extended cabs from 1994-2010. There may have been some variation for the 2 door vs 4 door, but it wouldn't have affected front floor mats.

I wonder why they don't include the earlier model Rangers? Did something change, or did they just not want to bother with checking and guaranteeing fit on those?

Huh. That is very odd.
Part of me is tempted to call them up and ask. Every other time I've dealt with weathertech their customer service has been top notch.

Saw this old thread and figured I’d add something. If you’ve already got the Kilmat down, vinyl can be a nice match since it’s easy to clean and doesn’t trap moisture. The main tradeoff is it can feel hotter in summer. Has anyone here tried the newer padded vinyl kits? I’ve been curious if they soften the feel enough without losing the easy cleanup.
