Any advantage of the weathertech mats vs the oem ones?
I have the OEM and am going to swap them for the WeatherTech. The front drivers does not go behind the gas peddle. That's a big error on Ford's part. The way the OEM are designed, snow and salt will melt off your boots and go under the mat, ruining the carpet.

And that, is the exact reason i went weathertech. we have winter like ... 5-6 months a year, so i wanted to keep the snow off.

The Weather Tech does have better protection near the gas pedal. I was going to buy the OEM floormats for my Escape when the parts dept told me the coverage was poor on the drivers side and the mat stopped short of the brake and gas pedal. I purchased the Weather Tech instead.

Wish they would go higher up under the pedals and on that footrest on the left. Snow, slush, water will creep down behind the mat on that footrest.

First manufacturer to do this I’ll be in.

great reference photo, nice job!
Thank you! The passenger side had improvement on the sidewalls as well, but who cares I'll never be on that side! lol
