Who replaced their carpeting with vinyl?

One thing I loved about the ST I sold was the vinyl flooring. Was curious if anyone has made the swap, how easy it was, and how much the vinyl costs from the parts counter...

Maybe I'll have the only Laramie with a vinyl floor!

Instead of taking out the carpet, I went to wally world and got some vinyl fabric and put it down... I love it, I only did it in the back and over the tranny hump in the front.

I thought about putting down vinyl flooring. I found some great floor mats though at Advance Auto Parts that covered from the door sill to the tranny hump. Have never had a problem of getting mud on the carpet.

If I had ordered my truck I would have probably opt'd it with vinyl mats instead of carpet. I think they credit you back money too.

One of the cooler trucks I've seen at a dealer was an LT loaded out older duramax with vinyl floors and grey steel wheels.

I have a ST with the Husky Floor liners, easy to clean and I don't have to worry about cleaning my boots off when i get in.

Never heard of 'em. Got a link?

Do they sit nice and flat with good coverage? I don't want something that flops around.

Thanks!

Alot of us WISH you could order vinyl on the floor ... I tried but couldn't. I've ordered my last few trucks cuz nobody stocks any reg cabs anymore and I know Dodge will not let you put vinyl in a truck that comes with carpet ... stupid imo. Carpet in a truck should be banned anywhere that has a winter climate
