Oh wow! I really like the amount of coverage those offer. Never heard of them before.Full set of TuxMats. I considered Weathertech HP and Maxpider 3D but decided on something a little different. Almost a perfect off-black shade match to the off-black Lariat Sport interior. They come with all kinds of clips but I let them get good and hot out in the 90 degree sun on concrete and they laid in nicely. I'll give it a few weeks and see if any clips are needed. They do cover more than any mats I looked at and so far I'm pretty impressed. Foam layer inside is supposed to also provide some sound deadening, not that I felt it needs it. Got to me in MI from Canada in just 3 days, right around $210 shipped for the set.
I hadn't either but after a few dozen Google searches for the other brands a TuxMat ad showed up. I had the Ford rubber set before and it's big downside is that they stop short of the plastic door sill plate so stuff collects in the valley in between. I think Weathertech and others would have solved that gripe for me too.Oh wow! I really like the amount of coverage those offer. Never heard of them before.
Yes, Weather techs were supposed to be included in my deal but someone dropped the ball and forgot to order them. So they ended up giving me the Ford Accessories liners and I am finding the same thing you mentioned about the space between the seat and door sill.I hadn't either but after a few dozen Google searches for the other brands a TuxMat ad showed up.

IMO ^that's^ the problem your continuing driver training needs to address.He takes that information as gospel and tries to drive that speed on slippery, very narrow and hilly roads and paths.
Totally agree that learning to drive is a lengthy and accumulation of experience and information. However, I'd prefer that he doesn't have a $72,000+ vehicle providing him with false and misleading information at this stage of learning. This age group has grown up with electronic information that seems to be totally acceptable to them without any use of common sense or gut feelings. I have no problem with the system reading misinformation but would like to reduce or hide until he has more driving seat of the pants experience. I tell him when not posted in residential areas 25 is speed limit unless posted otherwise. But he reads the speedometer that last read 45 on the entry road to subdivision and he believes that is the appropriate speed limit. I would like to hide the electronic misinformation and teach him to deduce speed by the arena he is driving in.IMO ^that's^ the problem your driver training needs to address.
Your young driver will eventually be on his own and face instruments with speed limit indicators as well as roadside signs that need to be 'adjusted down' in certain conditions - they need to learn that judgement now, and hiding the indicators on their training vehicle won't help with that, nobody says driver education or learning is easy.
Just sayin' ..... for your consideration and your learning driver's benefit.
