Ford F-150 Floor Mats & Liners (13th & 14th Gen)
How cab style, shifter layout, and the 2021 generation split change which mats fit, plus what to confirm before you order.

Why F-150 mats need generation awareness
The Ford F-150 has gone through multiple interior redesigns, and the two most relevant today — the 13th generation (2015–2020) and the 14th generation (2021–present) — include meaningful cabin and console changes. That does not prove every mat SKU stops at the generation boundary: Ford's official catalog lists liner SKU ML3Z1613300AA for 2015–2026 SuperCrew trucks with carpet flooring and without the LUX under-seat storage package; Ford excludes vinyl flooring. Treat the product's application list, cab, flooring, shifter, storage package, and retention details as the gate. A listing that says only "F-150 universal" without those details is not enough evidence.
Generation fitment table
| Generation | Years | Interior notes | Do not cross-shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13th Gen | 2015–2020 | Cab, flooring, shifter, retention points | Any SKU that omits these years/configuration |
| 14th Gen | 2021–present | Redesigned cabin and console packaging | Any SKU that omits these years/configuration |
| Lightning (related) | 2022–present | Cab looks similar; frunk and some SKUs differ | Assume all ICE F-150 mats/frunk parts fit |
Cab and drivetrain checks that affect fit
- SuperCrew vs SuperCab vs Regular Cab — rear-seat footprints and second-row mat shapes are completely different across cab styles.
- Column shifter vs floor console — column-shift trucks have a more open front floor; console-shift trucks need a driver's mat cut around the console base.
- Work trims and rubber flooring — fleet-spec floors change which retention system will hold; friction-only liners can slide on rubberized floors.
- Hybrid PowerBoost models — battery placement does not typically intrude into the passenger floor area, but always confirm on the listing rather than assuming.
What to look for in real truck use
For a truck that sees job sites, farm work, or regular towing, prioritize tall-walled, easy-to- hose-off liners over plush carpet. Look for clear pedal relief on the driver's side and a documented retention system — usually anchor posts molded into the liner that lock into the factory floor grommets. A liner without positive retention can slide under hard braking, which is a real hazard in a heavy truck. Dark colors hide salt and mud better after winter weeks. If you keep a show truck garage-kept, carpet mats that match factory colors still make sense — just do not pretend they will survive muddy dogs the same way TPE will.
Bed accessories are a separate fitment question
If you are also shopping tonneau covers or bed liners, remember bed length (5.5', 6.5', or 8') is a completely separate fitment variable from cab style — a mat listing that fits your cab tells you nothing about which bed accessories will fit. Confirm bed length from your build sheet or door jamb sticker before ordering anything for the bed. Broader bed product advice lives in truck bed accessories.
Wrong-buy checklist
- Ordering "F-150" mats with no year range or generation code.
- Buying SuperCrew rear mats for a SuperCab (or the reverse).
- Ignoring column vs floor shifter on the driver's mat cutout.
- Assuming Lightning frunk organizers are optional extras on an ICE F-150 order.
- Using bed length from a friend's truck instead of measuring your own.
- Skipping retention photos because the title said "custom fit."
Measurement tips
Photograph the driver's footwell and the second-row floor before you shop. Note cab style from the window sticker (SuperCrew / SuperCab / Regular). If the shifter is on the column, say so in your notes — many listings bury that detail. For bed gear, measure inside length bulkhead-to-tailgate with the gate closed. Compare listing photos to your console shape; if photos and the stated application conflict, ask the manufacturer or choose a better-documented SKU.
Lightning and PowerBoost notes
PowerBoost hybrids generally share cabin mat footprints with gas 14th Gen trucks of the same cab and shifter layout, but always read the listing rather than assuming. Lightning trucks look similar in the cab and diverge hard on frunk accessories — see Lightning bed & charge before ordering front-trunk organizers for an ICE truck or the reverse. Bed length remains independent of cab style on both ICE and Lightning.
Wrong-buy checklist
- Assuming a generation boundary proves fit or non-fit without checking the exact SKU application.
- SuperCab rear kits on a SuperCrew (or the reverse).
- Column-shift mats on a floor-console truck.
- Buying bed accessories from a mat listing that never stated bed length.
- Friction-only liners on rubberized fleet floors with no secondary retention.
Measurement and photo checklist
Before you order, photograph the driver's footwell with the seat fully rearward, the passenger footwell, and — on SuperCrew / SuperCab — the second-row floor with seats folded up if they tumble. Compare those photos to listing images for console width, dead-pedal shape, and rear seat mount cutouts. Write down generation (13th vs 14th), cab style, and column vs floor shifter on a note you keep until the package arrives. That five-minute habit catches listings that fit the badge but do not document the floor configuration.
If you also need bed protection, measure bed length separately and keep it out of the mat cart until both numbers are written down. Cab-correct mats and bed-correct covers are two orders, not one assumption. For broader liner materials, see floor mats; for bed product types, see truck bed accessories.
Resale and fleet realities
Trucks that will be sold or returned to a fleet look better with dark, hose-off liners that kept the carpet clean. Embroidered logos matter less than intact retention posts and unstained carpet underneath. If you are buying a used F-150, pull the mats during inspection — trapped moisture and mold under cheap liners are easier to negotiate before you buy than after.
Fleet buyers ordering multiple identical cabs should still confirm shifter layout per unit. Mixed column- and console-shift trucks in the same yard are a classic reason one "universal SuperCrew set" fails half the order.
Shop the comparison
Start at the 14th Gen F-150 hub or a 13th Gen hub, confirm your exact year and cab style, then open Floor Mats & Liners. Pair with the general floor mats buying guide for material tradeoffs. If your year is not listed yet, use Start fitment to check current coverage — and still confirm generation on the merchant page before checkout.
