Either go cheap flexible rubber, from which ever source available - universal cut to fit can be had fairly cheaply. Or go all in and get weathertech floor liners. The liners are great, in that you can pull them out like a tray and they won't spill. You can dump out melted snow, or rain drips...

Its not very much different than driving a manual car but only in second or third gear. You'd have to bouncing off the rev limiter to do any sort of highway driving. Honestly, if its well maintained, the platform can kind of take this sort of abuse so long as its fairly rare. Actually, go...
