I just purchased a 2013 Limited and found a real design flaw. The floor behind the third row seats is angled down to the rear sill plate. When the third row seats are up ( which we have to keep them that way) I cannot put groceries or a stroller behind the third row seat without them falling out on your feet when you open the rear gate. I am now sure why anyone would build a floor that is not flat all the way to the door??? It seems that a cargo net is not offered. When I took it to the dealer today, the service manager was scratching his head after my stroller bounced out his ankles.

Has anyone had this issue and is there a cargo net available???

I bought an after market net and dry fit it. I did not like the way it stretched. maybe something home grown may look nicer. I also hate the lack of no tie down hooks too. I did manage to find a bolt to add one to on each side of the fold down storage tray on my 2012. Not sure how convenient they will be but nothing I did was permanent so no loss if they don't work out.

The ELs have the divider/shelf thingy and the floor on my 07 seems flat. It works as a nice "net" of sorts. I have a plastic bin or two of files, hardhats, safety vests, boots, etc.. that seems to stay put.

The only issue I had was when I had a couple gallons of milk there and pushed the remote hatch open switch.... 2 gallons all over the driveway. Ka-SPLOOSH!:facepalm:

I've got a Husky liner, in fact two of them, one for the third row down, and one for it in up position that has about a 2" raised lip all the way around. After I lost a gallon of pickle relish that rolled out when I lifted the tailgate, that's how I remedied the situation.

The husky liner was an option but having to remove it to use the third row was a turn off. What I finally found for my 03 was a Walmart automotive section was a large rubber mat with the **** on it like behind floor mats. It takes two cover the rear and it works well. Third row up and down no problem and I could leave an extra inch lip at the tailgate so no surprises when you open the tailgate. I just thought about the roll out cover that my 03 had to hide the rear area. What happened to it? Anyway when I got my '12 surprisingly the same rubber mats where still at Wallyworld so it was time for new ones the old one had done its job long enough.
