    I have a 2003 extra cab, 3.4 V6, 4wd, manual transmission truck. I’m looking for some WeatherTech mats for the front. Autozone, O’Reily, Advance and 4Wheel all say the WeatherTech 450101 fits. The WeatherTech website says it will fit the auto but not the manual. Anyone had any experience with these or know why they wouldn’t work. Thanks

    I can't foresee a reason it would fit unless it's the edge of the mat where the clutch pedal would be at the floor (get caught?)

    Doesn’t matter. A WeatherTech rep told me they were the same. Fits fine.

    They probably just want to avoid any liability on the website with the clutch pedal getting hung up on it or something since it wasn't officially designed or tested on the MTs.

    Purchased them for my 2002 extra cab manual and they fit fine. I got a set for an automatic trans as well and both sets are identical.

    Mostly stock - but I do have a suction cup phone holder - its pretty sweet
    Great to know! I was puzzled by the ‘fits an auto but not the manual’ as well. Looking at getting these, the big guard (yes I know there are several opinions about this), and the window deflectors.

    I think it's because they didn't test them on any manual trucks and can't confirm that they won't interfere with the clutch pedal, at least I'm guessing.
