Ditto on the Weathertech. Great stuff and reasonably priced. I also bought a roll of contractors plastic that is sticky on one side to cover all my carpet parts in the back of my SUV. I put it in when I knew I was going to make a mess of the back and wanted to protect it as much as possible. I found it at Home Depot in the paint department.

WeatherTech makes custom rear mats for SUVs also. Bought one for back of my wife's SUV. Perfect fit and comes out easily if she needs to use third row seats.

Check out Husky Liners. Got em in my Surburban and Wrangler. Made in the USA. Been in every truck I've owned since 2002.

Here's another nod to the Husky Liners. I've been very pleased with how they have helped keep my Suburban cleaner when I'm up at the farm or our hunting when you really can't take your shoes off between fields.

But I'd bet you've already got some floor pans!

I know what you mean when thinking about wear and tear on your favorite vehicle. I was all set to get a new Suburban awhile back, and came to the realization that it would really hurt to take a new one out to the fields. And when you've got a dog or dogs that are more than a little spoiled and like to ride with you, I just decided to keep my current truck, at least until my dog is gone. Maybe then it'll be time for the new one.

Hope your truck comes back in good shape!

You need your 01 for wok tomorrow tells me all I need to know.

Who cares about a little dirt on the new truck, unless you're worried that the newer ones won't even stand up to a little poop. Just tell them if they mess it up, be sure to total it out so you can start over.

But seriously, 64,000 or 6,400, why have a truck that you're scared to let go on horse duty, or any other duty for that matter? If it's just because it's new, go outside and put a scratch on it now and get it over with. Then enjoy the new truck when you're not driving the 01. Or enjoy the 01 and let the wife drive the new one.

$64,000 is not only a big deal to me, but far beyond anything I'll ever be able to afford unless I win the lottery.:laughing:

I'm with you Bird.......It's not a lot if you don't have it.

If the wife and kid borrow the truck, it should return in the same condition.

All in fun, but, if I told my wife she was "borrowing" my truck, I'd be sleeping in the barn. She would look at me with those eyes that say "what part of being married don't you understand"!

Thanks Rick, I have the custom fit mat for the rear. I put the plastic on the sides of the back, and on the backs of the second row seat, all made of carpet that is especially magnetic to dog hair.

Bag the floors and seat! Good commercial/contractor bags. Line the floors and duck tape all the seams :thumbsup:

$64K to me is about 5 trucks. I think anyone spending $64K for a truck is nuts...especially knowing that it dropped 20% of it's value as soon as you drove off the dealer's lot.
Now, I don't buy any vehicles new...just not interested in the initial cost and depreciation.
I'm fine with the horsey crap through...part of rural life, especially if you own horses.
