Toyota HiLux floor mats guide

The interiors of modern 4x4s are a lot more luxurious compared to the old vinyl days.

And while that’s great for comfort and appearance, it does leave a weak point: carpeted floors. Durable floor mats are essential to preserve this carpet and are even handy to reduce wear and tear on vinyl floors.

Not only do they protect the interior from dirt, dust and spills, but they add a touch of style to the cabin. However, with so many options available on the market for the HiLux, it can be an overwhelming choice.

• What it is: Floor mats to protect the interior.
• Why you need it: Whether on the job site, hitting the beach or spending time off-road, you’re going to end up with dirty feet or shoes, and sand and grit stomped into the carpet is hard to clean.
• Buying tips: A visit to any local automotive parts store will reveal a plethora of one-size-fits-all options for floor mats. These cheap and cheerful options might suit the daily commuter but are unlikely to do the job for tradies and 4WDers. For these tougher conditions you really need something designed specifically for the HiLux and to be more durable.

Here are three products we recommend. They’re intended as a starting point, to give you an idea of what’s available.
