I bought the WeatherTech "all weather mats" and "cargo mat" for both of the RX's I've owned. I like the all weather ones because they have deep grooves to collect the liquid from slush and snow if you live in a snow area. It saves the bottom of pant legs from getting wet !

I've used WeatherTech All Weather mats for my last several cars, and swear by them. I initially bought them to use in the winter, but don't even think about taking them out any more (until I sell the car). For the cargo area, I went with the Lexus mat, and it has been great. I reused the same mat I had in our 2010 RX, and it still looks brand new. I knda like the fact that it's a 2 piece mat, but I'm not sure why it seems important.

I must admit, I'm intrigued by the WeathertTech liners they have, now. They get pretty good reviews! The only complaint I have about the all weather mats, is that although they fit really well, you can still get dirt and grime around the edge (by the dead pedal, for example). Maybe it's just that I put my feet where they don't belong

Default 2010 RX350 Husky Cargo Mat

Received the Husky cargo mat last week for wife's RX350. Fit was fine; full coverage but does not interfere with cargo door. The cargo mat for my Tahoe is a bit too long and care is needed to see that it does not interfere with door closing.

Received "thank you" email from wife today; she used the RC350 to haul mulch and other yard items from local garden store and was very pleased with the mat. (She is at our bay house getting ready for new planting - 75+ degrees here in Houston.)

I have the weathertech digital floor liners, have had 4 sets of them for all my other cars. Love them, highly recommend them too.

I recommend the Weathertech floor liners over the mats as well. They are a perfect fit and cover a larger area than the mats too.

the WT liners do good job in winter-when you bring snow+mud into the RX, the snow melts, and all that water/dirt collects on the surface of the liner-very easy to clean.

I have the WeatherTech digital fit for my daily driver (BMW 3 Series) and with all the snow we've had this winter it's been awesome!

My RX has the stock Lexus rubber floor mats and I am seeing now that it is 'lacking' compared to the WeatherTech mats (for all the snow/ice melting but ok for rainy days). Might consider upgrading. I also have the Lexus cargo liner and that is just awesome as my son just throws all his gear, ice skates, etc and i dont worry about getting the light colored carpet getting dirty.

I had the Husky floor liners in my previous car for 10 years and I have the WeatherTech in my current RX and find them to be roughly comparable.

One thing--and I don't know of this is true of their current configuration--but the Husky liner completely covered the driver's footrest, unlike the Weathertech.

I've used both HuskyLiners and WeatherTech on past vehicles, and I found them
to be very similar in fit and finish. I find I like the looks of the WeatherTech a bit
better, but both are good choices.

My WeatherTech Digitalfit liners came yesterday. They look good and fit well. Just wish they covered the dead pedal.

Just got my WeatherTech cargo mat yesterday. Fit like a charm except for one corner that is slightly curled up. I put my tub container on it and hopefully itll lay flat after a couple days.

Just got SWMBO's Husky cargo liner today. Also fits fine. Color was good too (tan..) Was considerably less expensive then the Weathertech one (which I have in other vehicles and it's a nice product.)
