I am completely satisfied with the mat, it is everything I had hoped for. It covers the entire floor, cleans up easily, and looks very attractive. It shows no wear of any kind. I'm not sure I can honestly answer your question however, because now I do know how much work it requires. It's brutally difficult to install and I'm too old and worn out to tackle the amount of effort it takes ever again.

I can truthfully say if it ever has to be replaced I'll never install another one. I'll either go with carpet, or leave the portion under the seats and install another stock replacement mat instead. I don't care for carpet in the truck because it retains too much dirt. I preferred the convenience of the original rubber mat so I could remove the floor pan for transmission work, but the MIP is so good looking I'm hopeful it will outlast me so I'll never have to make the choice.
