Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T680 Floor Trim

What year models of Kenworth T680 trucks are these floor trims compatible with?

Our Kenworth T680 floor trims are designed to fit 2013 and newer T680 models. While the basic mounting points have remained consistent, there are slight variations between early models (2013-2017) and newer models (2018-present). Always verify your specific truck's VIN and production date when ordering, as mid-year production changes can affect fitment. If you're unsure, our customer service team can help verify compatibility with your specific truck.

Are these floor trims made of real stainless steel or chrome-plated plastic?

We carry both genuine stainless steel and high-grade chrome-plated ABS plastic options. Stainless steel trims typically range from 16-20 gauge thickness and offer superior durability and resistance to rust and pitting. Chrome-plated options provide an excellent appearance at a lower price point but may show wear over time in high-traffic areas. Each product listing clearly specifies the material type, and we recommend stainless steel for drivers who want maximum longevity, especially in harsh weather conditions.

How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?

Installation typically takes 30-45 minutes per side and requires basic hand tools including a trim removal tool, Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, and possibly a drill for certain aftermarket options. Most floor trims use the factory mounting holes and clips, though some universal fit options may require drilling. The biggest challenge reported by customers is removing the old trim without breaking clips. We recommend having replacement clips on hand, and many of our trim kits include extra clips for this reason.

What's the difference between OEM-style and custom floor trim options?

OEM-style floor trims match the factory specifications with standard brushed or polished finishes and typically measure 2-3 inches in width. Custom options include wider profiles (up to 5 inches), LED-illuminated trims, diamond plate patterns, and various etched designs. Custom trims may require additional mounting hardware or minor modifications to fit properly. Consider your driving conditions - wider custom trims can collect more road debris and may not be ideal for off-road or construction applications.

Will aftermarket floor trims affect my warranty or pass DOT inspections?

Properly installed floor trims that don't require drilling into the cab structure or modification of safety components will not affect your warranty. All our DOT-compliant floor trims maintain proper floor clearance and don't interfere with pedal operation or emergency egress. However, LED-illuminated trims must be wired according to federal lighting regulations. We recommend keeping your original trim pieces in case warranty work requires returning the truck to stock configuration.
