Re: Interior: Carpet or Vinyl

I have a preference for a vinyl floor. Lots easier to keep clean, and since I drive rain or snow, not having to worry about carpets getting wet is a bonus.

that's my opinion too, considering how my trucks get used. I'm still assembling the truck in my signature, but it's definitely not going to have carpet. I'll start out with a bare metal floor, and will later upgrade to a MIP mat from LMCtruck. It looks like the longest lasting waterproof option for the money. Cow manure and mud are simply two realities of Virginia winters, and a farm-based truck needs to accommodate.

Post Floors ~ Carpet or Vinyl

It depends on where you live .

Rubber mats are super easy to clean and if you keep them clean they last forever, don't wear like carpets do .

The flip side is : rubber mats also trap any moisture underneath no matter how slight and force the cab floor to rust .

Me, I love rubber mats but always go with carpet as soon as the mats cracks or tears .

Most don't keep their trucks long enough to discover the rubber mat ruins the cab floor, I do, it's a rare thing for me to have a truck younger than 25 ~ 30 years old .

Even here in the California Desert your floor will rust away in a few short years .
