Not true at all about Husky... Husky's are pliable and soft rubber and superior to the hard slippery plastic of WT....
I had Husky liners in my Jeep XK, I've never had WeatherTech, the Husky have some softness and pliability to them but not enough that they bend to fit the tub, there can be gaps between the liner and the tub at some points....
It's all relative, I think my daughter has WeatherTech or a knock off brand in her Jeep Compass and they do seem stiffer and less pliant than the Husky Liners... ...but the Husky was just a bit to stiff and less pliant for my taste, they are definitely stiffer and less pliant than the Mopar Slush Mats.
Perhaps later or other models of Husky Liners are softer and more pliable, but I don't see how you can retain shape with how thin they are without have some stiffness to them...
The Mopar are much softer, flexible and pliant.... ...but they are 3/4" thick soft rubber, the fronts have upturned edges to form a tub within the front foot tubs, and soft and pliant enough that falls and rests right on the sides of the tub with no gaps....
But 3/4" is 3/4", that is lost legroom or cargo room in the back if your squeezing things in that barely fit, and it is like your feet rest on a bit of a pillow, some might not like that.....
Another way to say, it they are all so close, I'd be happy with any of them.... ....although I'd agree not fully covering the dead pedal would be annoying.... ....I'll have to look at my Mopar Slush Mats again and report back if they fully cover the dead pedal....
