Hi Joshef, cool name! I actually have a buddy named Joshef and you are the first person I have run into with the same name. Always fun to see people with unique names out there : )

Anyway, we have a few options for getting your 2017 Ram 1500 kitted out with mats, which I am going to assume is a Crew Cab as that is what the product you asked from fits. With that said, the biggest name we carry for these will be WeatherTech.

The # WT444781 will be their front offering and # WT442163 will be for the back seats. These are a fairly rigid material and are made here in the US of A, which is nice. However, I have a set of their front mats in my truck and I have never liked how much they slide around. I believe this is due to the stiffer material they use not having any grip on the bottom, think hardish plastic on your carpet. But they are very durable.

On the other hand, our etrailer mats # e58PR come as a front and rear set (for almost half the cost of the WeatherTech mats if you are wanting front and rear coverage) and are made of a "softer" and more flexible material with what I am calling "grippy nubs" on the bottom (I have a photo below that explains this a lot better than "grippy nubs"). This allows for significantly better grip and with the less rigid material, there is more wiggle room for them to conform to your truck. I think the only real downside to our mats is they are made overseas.

Both have Lifetime Warranties, so you know both are products that we stand behind. To be perfectly honest though, I would have grabbed the etrailer mats if they were around when I got my truck. Not only would it have saved me some money, but I really do prefer the less rigid material and better grip once installed.

Hey Joshef, how did the floor mats work out for your Ram 1500? Did the softer etrailer mats give you the grip and fit you were hoping for? Your feedback could help others choosing between these two styles.
