Just curious, is there a larger foot print or tire coverage area with the Ford versions over the WTs or vis-versa? What's the difference? Does the plastic feel different, more flexible with one or the other? When you get those OEM ones in, before you return/sell them, maybe you could do a side by side and show us the difference and why you prefer the ones you prefer.

I do not have the Ford ones yet but I think they are more hard rubber whereas the WeatherTech is a much stiffer thermoplastic composite.

I have a 2015 Lariat and returned my WT that I got from Midwest Aftermarket because they didn't look right even though they sent the right ones....don't have a closeup pic but my wheel molding has an ridge on the edge that left a gap that didn't look right....anybody ever see that or have one with it...and Midwest was awesome....wanted pictures...called WT...said those were the right ones but let me return them and paid return shipping...I'm gonna check into OEM's

I do have the Ford OEM ones now and they are certainly more flexible than WeatherTech. I'll have to start a for sale to see if I can sell my OEM ones since I've had they too long to send them back now.

Yea they do...can't understand why a lot guys wanna switch to all black wheels and rims looks so plain to me.....I guess I'm just too old school...I grew up in the era when cars had raised white letter tires, chrome rims and chrome trim down the sides around the windows down the hood and they looked good...
