Hello, Pete, and welcome. I hope you'll share some pics of your new RX when you take possession. Like you, I have used Weather Tech in the past and, with a few exceptions, was very happy with them. My major problems with WT were fading and curling. The rubber or plastic faded in spots, and the "taller" edges always seemed to curl in on themselves with mine. You will be very glad you purchased the Lexus mats. Hopefully, you got the cargo mat too.

tedward155: Thanks for the welcome! The vehicle comes with a carpet cargo mat that is of no use to me. But then again neither is an all weather mat. I like to carry my bikes and skies in the back of my vehicles so that I don't need any external mounts. This attribute is one of the main things that I look for when purchasing a new car. So I need full coverage with the rear seats folded down. At this point I will most likely get the Canvasback cover as it seems to be the only product available at this time that has the full coverage.

I have had WeatherTechs on lots of vehicles. Their product is more of a plastic where the Lexus all weather mats are a heavy rubber and much nicer. I like them and would buy again if the originals ever wear out. I can’t see that happening anytime soon.

Agreed. And price wise, Weather Tech is slightly more expensive.

I'm happy because the Lexus mats I paid for on my 2013 were total junk, I replaced them with Weather Tech which were sturdier but the fit was not as good as it should have been.
The Lexus mats with our 2023 are very good, no complaints whatsoever. Precise fit.

I bought the weather tech for my new RX-350 last week. Front and back seats under $200.

I'll be at the dealer tomorrow to pick up. I wanted to buy some plants but didn't want to get the cargo carpet dirty.
Did you pay for the cargo mat or was it part of the original deal? Curious how you got the dealer to toss it in (if that is the way it happened) especially if the dealer is in DFW.

My dealer did throw in the Lexus cargo mat. It was not in stock at the time but it came in the next week.

The Lexus all weather mats and cargo mat beat the WeatherTech mats as far as quality.

They do. In 2013 the RX mats were a complete joke, now they're good.
