Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T2000 Floor Accessories

What years of Kenworth T2000 trucks do these floor accessories fit?

Our floor accessories are designed to fit Kenworth T2000 models from 1996 through 2004. Since Kenworth made minor cab modifications during this production run, we recommend checking your specific year and verifying measurements. Most floor mats and accessories are compatible across all T2000 years, but some items like custom-fit floor liners may have variations between early models (1996-1999) and later models (2000-2004).

Are these floor mats made of rubber or carpet, and which is better for heavy use?

We carry both heavy-duty rubber floor mats and commercial-grade carpet options. Rubber mats are typically 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick thermoplastic or molded rubber that withstand oil, grease, and heavy boot traffic. They're easier to clean with a hose or pressure washer. Carpet floor mats feature 20-32 oz automotive-grade carpet with waterproof backing. For drivers logging high miles in all weather conditions, rubber mats last longer and require less maintenance. Carpet provides better insulation and a more finished look but needs regular vacuuming and shampooing.

Do I need to remove seats or make modifications to install these floor accessories?

Most floor mats and liners install without removing seats or making modifications. Standard floor mats simply lay in place after removing the old mats. Custom-fit floor liners may require loosening the driver seat bolts to tuck edges underneath for a secure fit, but full seat removal isn't necessary. Floor-mounted accessories like CB radio brackets or cup holders typically use existing bolt holes or self-tapping screws. Installation usually takes 15-30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Will aftermarket floor mats interfere with pedal operation or create safety issues?

Quality floor mats designed specifically for the T2000 include proper cutouts and heel pad placement to ensure safe pedal operation. Look for mats with anti-slip backing and retention hooks that connect to factory anchor points. Avoid universal mats that can slide forward and bunch up under pedals. Our T2000-specific mats maintain at least 2 inches of clearance above pedals and feature reinforced heel pads where your foot pivots between accelerator and brake.

How do floor mat colors and materials hold up to sun fading and wear?

Black and dark gray floor accessories show the least fading and wear over time. These colors hide stains and scuff marks better than tan or medium gray options. Rubber mats with UV inhibitors resist cracking and fading for 5-7 years of regular use. Carpet mats in solution-dyed nylon maintain color better than standard automotive carpet. For maximum durability, choose mats with reinforced edges and heel pads made from harder compounds that resist wearing through in high-traffic areas.
