If you use your truck for work, you probably invest a lot of time and energy into its maintenance; keeping its fluids topped up, scheduling brake services, and the like. But do you pay much mind to the cabin floor? If you tend to overlook the interior of your vehicle, remember that this could impact your truck’s resale value. There are also other reasons truck floor mats are a wise investment. If you need a reminder of their benefits, here are the top three reasons.

Why Should Your Truck Have Floor Mats?

1. Keep Your Carpet Clean

The most obvious benefit of truck floor mats is that they keep your cabin carpet free of dirt and other contaminants. No matter how dirty your boots get, the protective barrier will prevent the dirt from getting ground into your carpet and causing stains. Plus, the mats themselves are are easy to wipe clean or hose down.

2. Breathe Easier

If you work long hours in your vehicle, it’s crucial to have clean air, so buy a truck floor mat if you don’t yet have one.

3. Prevent Floorboard Damage

In addition to causing mold growth and staining, accumulated moisture can also cause your vehicle’s floorboard to rust or prematurely. The only way to fix this damage is by cutting out the corroded parts and welding in new steel—an expensive repair. Floorboard damage may also make it harder to sell your vehicle at a good price.
