Thanks for all of the info. I just ordered some Weathertech mats. I'm sure I will be pleased with them.

I just got the new Toyota mats. The only difference is a taper in the retaining holes that keep the mat from going forward. I suppose it makes them easier to install.

They also include some very big notices in lots of bold colored print that shout out, in effect: "DO NOT INSTALL THESE MATS OVER THE STOCK (CARPET) MATS. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE ALL WEATHER MAT SHOULD BE INSTALLED USING THE RETAINING HOOKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR WELL."

Didn't see much difference in the other three.

Has anyone ordered the Weathertech "FLOORLINER" (not the all weather) mats in Tan for their Bisque interior for the TCH? I am curious how well the colour match is and if you are satisfied with the fit.

Thanks
