Budget buyers and anyone needing universal fit should look at the Motor Trend FlexTough, a trim-to-fit deep-dish rubber mat that protects almost any vehicle for a fraction of a custom liner's price. The ridges trap water and slush, and grip is good by universal-mat standards. It cannot match a molded liner's coverage, and it can slide or undercover larger vehicles. The smart cheap option.
- — Far cheaper than custom liners, often a third of the price
- — Universal trim-to-fit design works in almost any car, truck, or SUV
- — Deep-dish ridges and grooves capture water, mud, and slush
- — Universal fit cannot match a custom liner's coverage or precision
- — Can slide around and undercover larger SUVs and trucks
- — Second-row coverage is limited in bigger vehicles
