Default Replacing the carpet

I am going to replace the carpet on the truck I just bought. Does anyone know a reputable place to purchase replacement carpet from? Thanks.

I see Rock Auto has three types; cut pile, super plush nylon, and vinyl. I'd really like the vinyl but curious if anyone has ever went that route.

why would ya? was it poorly taken care of or what? Personally Id replace it with vinyl if I was going to replace it. Carpet sucks. I had an 08 sport trac with vinyl in it and it was awesome. There was some sort of pad under it so it was a little soft. I would recommend going to look at one to see what I mean. I was kinda pissed my new f150 had carpet, but I guess I did get a lariat, maybe the lower trims have the vinyl, my sport trac was an xlt.

Because it's in terrible shape is why. I mentioned the vinyl and ordered one last night. I had a 04 Ranger with the vinyl floor and loved it so that is what I went with.

Well the vinyl install was a massive fail. I ordered from RockAuto and the item was from Accmats.com. It was supposed to be a custom fit piece. Instead what I got was a big square of vinyl that I was supposed to cut to fit myself. No holes or anything in it. So that is going back to where it came from. I pressure washed the original carpet which helped. I guess I'll just save my pennies and get a real custom fit replacement at some point.
