Trim level does not determine interior fitment on a Silverado — configuration does. But on 2019 and newer trucks, four configuration variables split floor liners into a dozen different part numbers, and trim is the most reliable shortcut for predicting which set you have. Get those four answers before you order anything.

The Four Variables That Actually Decide Fitment
On a 2019–2026 Silverado, interior floor protection is catalogued against four questions:
- Carpet or vinyl flooring?
- First row bench seat or bucket seats?
- Does the second row have under-seat storage?
- Do you want OTH (over-the-hump) coverage?
Cab style still matters — crew, double and regular cabs are separate parts, as they always were. What changed on the newest generation is that cab style alone is no longer enough. Two crew cabs of the same model year, same trim family, can need different liners because one was ordered with a bench and the other with buckets.
Same Truck, Same Year, Five Different Liners
This is easier to see than to explain. Every one of these is a 2019–2026 Silverado 1500. The only differences are configuration:
| Cab | Flooring | First row | 2nd row storage | From |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Double Cab | Carpet | Bucket | No | $92.99 |
| Double Cab | Carpet | Bench + OTH | Yes | $78.99 |
| Double Cab | Carpet | Bench + OTH | No | $92.99 |
| Double Cab | Vinyl | Bench + OTH | — | $107.99 |
| Crew Cab | Carpet | Bench + OTH | Yes | $92.99 |
| Crew Cab | Carpet | Bench | No | $107.99 |
Six parts, one generation, prices ranging from $78.99 to $107.99. Ordering by "2021 Silverado crew cab" gets you a one-in-several chance.
Vinyl vs Carpet: The One Where Trim Really Does Predict
Of the four variables, flooring material is the one most tightly linked to trim. Work-oriented trims are commonly built with a vinyl or rubber floor; higher trims get carpet. And it genuinely changes the part, because the liner has to sit against a different surface with different contours at the edges.
-
SMARTLINER — 2019–2026 Double Cab, Bench Seat, OTH, Vinyl Flooring
From $107.99. The vinyl-floor version. If your truck has a hose-out floor rather than carpet, this is the branch you are on. -
SMARTLINER — 2014–2018 Regular Cab with Vinyl Floor
From $107.99. Note the HD range here runs 2015–2019, not the 2015–2021 you see on the crew cab parts. Regular cab HD trucks changed on their own schedule again.
The old advice on this page said fitment is "generally based on cab style rather than trim level." That was true enough for older trucks and is no longer true for the current one. It has been corrected — see the FAQ below.
Bench vs Bucket Seats
The first row configuration changes the shape of the driver and passenger footwells and the centre area between them. A bench seat truck has a continuous floor across the middle; a bucket seat truck has a console structure in the way.
-
SMARTLINER — 2019–2026 Double Cab, Bucket Seats, Carpet, No Under-Seat Storage
From $92.99. The bucket seat branch, for carpeted trucks without rear under-seat storage. -
Smart Trim — 2019–2026 Double Cab, Carpet, Bench + OTH, No 2nd Row Storage
From $92.99. Same cab, same flooring, same storage answer — different first row, different part.
Second Row Under-Seat Storage
Many crew and double cab Silverados have a rear seat that folds up to reveal a storage bin in the floor. That bin changes the rear floor contour, so rear liners are cut differently depending on whether it is there.
-
SMARTLINER — 2019–2026 Double Cab, Carpet, Bench + OTH, With 2nd Row Storage
From $78.99. The with-storage variant, and the cheapest of the Double Cab set. -
Umbrauto All-Weather TPE Liners — Crew Cab, Carpet Floor, With Rear Under-Seat Storage
From $159.99. TPE rather than the usual thermoplastic. Covers 1500 2019–2026 and 2500/3500HD 2020–2026 — the familiar one-year HD offset again.
What Does OTH Coverage Mean?
OTH stands for over-the-hump. It refers to whether the liner extends across the transmission tunnel — the raised hump running down the centre of the floor — rather than stopping at each side.
On a bench seat truck this matters, because that centre area is a real floor surface that a middle passenger's feet rest on and that catches everything dropped from the middle seat. On a bucket seat truck the console occupies most of it, so the question largely disappears.
If your truck has a bench and you have ever had a passenger in the middle, OTH coverage is the version you want.
Check Yours in 60 Seconds
Go sit in the truck with your phone and answer four questions:
- Look down. Carpet, or hard vinyl you could hose out?
- Look at the front seats. One continuous bench, or two separate seats with a console between them? A 60/40 split bench still counts as a bench.
- Lift the rear seat bottom. Storage bin underneath, or just floor?
- Look at the centre hump. Bench truck — do you want it covered?
Photograph the footwells while you are there. When a listing title has four qualifying clauses in it, having the photos open next to the listing removes all the guesswork.
Trim-to-Configuration Guide
Trim does not dictate fitment, but it predicts it well enough to narrow your search before you go outside. Treat this as a starting point, not a specification — configurations were optional and trucks were ordered every possible way.
| Trim family | Usual flooring | Usual first row | What to verify |
|---|---|---|---|
| WT (Work Truck) | Vinyl or rubber | Bench | Vinyl vs carpet — some WTs were ordered with carpet |
| Custom / Custom Trail Boss | Carpet | Bench | Under-seat storage presence |
| LT / RST / LT Trail Boss | Carpet | Bench or bucket | Bench vs bucket — this is the variable trim least reliably predicts |
| LTZ | Carpet | Usually bucket | Under-seat storage presence |
| High Country | Carpet | Bucket | Confirm anyway before ordering |
Work and Base Trims
Priorities here are straightforward: heavy-duty floor protection that tolerates mud, gravel and tool boxes, and a console that survives being used as a desk.
The vinyl-floor liner options above are the starting point. Beyond that, the highest-value additions are ones that stop damage rather than add features — all-weather liners that trap grit before it grinds into the floor, and a console cover if the armrest is taking daily abuse.
Mid-Level Trims
Carpet flooring makes liner choice more consequential, since carpet holds salt and moisture in a way vinyl does not. This is also where console protection starts to pay, because these trucks accumulate more cabin hours.
-
GZJJMY Center Console Armrest Cover — 2019–2024
From $40.61. Also fits Sierra, Tahoe and Suburban of the same era, since they share the console. The armrest is the highest-wear soft surface in the cab. -
Center Console Organizer — 2022–2024 1500, 2024–2025 2500HD/3500
From $40.76. Note the narrow year window — console tray inserts are moulded to the specific bin, so a 2019 and a 2022 are not necessarily the same.
Premium Trims (LTZ and High Country)
On leather-appointed trucks the calculation shifts. The floor still needs protecting — carpet under a High Country is the same carpet — but the visible soft surfaces become the thing worth defending, because scuffed leather shows immediately and is expensive to put right.
Practical order of priority: liners cut for your exact configuration first, console armrest protection second, then anything cosmetic. A liner that fits badly on a premium truck looks worse than no liner, which is another reason to confirm all four configuration variables rather than ordering the closest match.
Older Trucks: Cab Style Is Still the Driver
On 1999–2018 trucks the configuration variables are far fewer, and cab style genuinely is the main question — which is what made the older advice on this page roughly right for its era.
-
Smart Trim Floor Liners — 2007–2013 Crew Cab
From $92.99. Covers HD crew cabs through 2014. -
SMARTLINER — 2007–2013 Silverado / 2007–2014 Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Escalade
From $107.99. The shared-architecture listing — useful when Silverado-labelled stock is short, since the SUV versions are the same part. -
SmartCoverage — 2014–2018 Crew Cab
From $69.74. HD coverage 2015–2021 on the same part.
The Console Is a Wear Item, Not Just a Surface
Worth knowing before you buy a cover for something that is already broken: the centre console lid and its latch are known failure points on these trucks, and they are sold as replacement parts against OEM numbers.
-
Center Console Latch — 2014–2020 (OEM 22792217 / 22861304)
From $63.84. If your console lid no longer stays shut, this is usually the part rather than the whole console. Two OEM numbers are listed — match yours. -
Console Lid Replacement Kit — 1999–2007 (OEM 19127364)
From $105.68. The classic-body equivalent, covering Silverado, Sierra, Avalanche, Suburban and Yukon.
On a truck old enough that the lid has cracked, replacing it costs less than a cover and fixes the actual problem.
Silverado EV Interiors
The EV has its own console geometry, so organizers are model-specific rather than shared with the gas trucks.
-
Silverado EV Console Storage Tray — 2024–2026, 2 pcs
From $58.73. Double-layer ABS organizer moulded to the EV console. Gas-truck trays do not fit.
Prices shown are starting prices at time of writing and vary by variant and availability. Confirm fitment against your own VIN and configuration before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do floor liners fit differently across trims?
An earlier version of this page said fitment is based on cab style rather than trim level. That is broadly right for 1999–2018 trucks and wrong for 2019 and newer ones. On the current truck, flooring material, first row seat type and second row under-seat storage all change the part, and those are configuration choices that correlate with trim. The correction matters because ordering by cab style alone on a 2019+ truck will frequently get you the wrong liner.
How do I tell a bench from a bucket if mine has a fold-down centre section?
A 60/40 split bench with a fold-down armrest in the middle is still a bench. Buckets are two physically separate seats with a floor console between them. If the centre section has a seatbelt and can seat a person, it is a bench.
What is OTH coverage and do I need it?
Over-the-hump coverage extends the liner across the transmission tunnel. It matters on bench seat trucks where the centre area is used, and is largely irrelevant on bucket seat trucks where the console fills that space.
Can I use a Tahoe or Suburban liner in my Silverado?
On some generations, yes — and the listings say so outright. The 2007–2013 Silverado liner is catalogued together with 2007–2014 Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Yukon XL and Escalade. That shared listing is worth knowing when Silverado-labelled stock is thin.
Is a console cover worth it on a work truck?
If the armrest is intact, yes — it is the highest-wear soft surface in the cab. If the lid is already cracked or the latch no longer holds, replace the lid or latch instead. A cover over a broken lid does not fix the lid.
Why do the HD year ranges keep differing?
Because the heavy duty trucks change body about a year after the 1500 does, and sometimes on a different schedule again by cab style. Crew cab HD liners run 2015–2021 while regular cab HD vinyl-floor liners run 2015–2019. Read the exact range on the listing rather than generalising.
What's the fastest way to get this right?
Photograph your footwells and your rear seat with the bottom lifted, then open the listing and check each clause in the title against your photos. Every fitment condition on a well-catalogued liner is stated in the title.
