    I just got a new 2015 Cascadia and need floors mats. Hopefully the kind that covers the entire floor. It has an automatic so no floor mounted shifter. Any suggestions? Mods feel free to move to another forum if this is not appropriate here.

    You could go in a carpet store buy a roll of clear plastic carpet that you could cut and customize to your floorplan, that's what i have for winter.

    Cheap easy and customize to your needs.

    Screw the carpet mats. You need deep channel rubber mats, especially in winter. These are difficult to find and costly. But you can find those made for Yukon and Tahoes that work ok at least for Freightliner. I wrote Weathertech and said they needed to market mats to the trucking industry and they said they'd "look into it".

    Some generic mats will work ok but may need to have certain corners trimmed or cut so they do not interfere with throttle pedal, but I do not recommend carpet mats, regardless. They're ok for some, I suppose but I will never use them, especially in winter.

    And the crap of it is. You can't even get quality, fitted, deep-channel rubber mats at a Freightliner dealer :biggrin_25523: Talk about a market available for the picking.

    Loves and Pilot and the other major chains truck stops should sell quality rubber mats such as Weathertech. They could stock mats for 6 trucks and cover 90% of the needs/wants

    I picked up tire treads along the highway and use them, super singles are the best.
