Folding Cargo Liners

[5280tunage]

I have the factory one and I do like it, it's nice to see how well it attaches and flexes with the seats going up and down, but I will say it's a pretty flimsy material. Had some issues with it not folding correctly, had to re-orient it and force it to fold a little but it does fit well. I wish it were a little heavier duty though.

Has anyone found anything that works with the cargo manager? Ive seen some of the quilted options here but im looking for something more like the WeatherTech or the Expedition labeled one everyone loves. I don't use the cargo manager every day but I don't want to have to reposition and re secure the velcro back every time I need to access it.

Whats everyones gripe(s) with the WeatherTech stuff? I just recently purchased the floor mats and don't seem to be having any issues with them. But I can see how the cargo mat situation can be different with the folding 3rd row.

Issue with Weathertech = $$$$. Way overpriced and comparable to some other brands at a lower price point. I paid less for a genuine Ford product, while even though it doesn't go up the sides of the cargo area, it protects the rear seatbacks, which is something that Weathertech couldn't do, for more $$. If your concern is accessing the Cargo Manager (I just put stuff in there I will never need to access outside of an emergency) the Ford OEM Expedition mat attaches with velcro to the floor in the vehicle. It's just a matter of giving a good pull to separate the velcro, holding the mat with one hand and accessing the cargo manager with another.

What I’m finding is that the weathertech is less expensive technically. It sells for $129 and the expedition branded one is $139. That being said you can find the expedition branded one for around the $110 mark, so there’s that. I guess it’s just a matter of deciding what’s more important, simple easy access to the cargo manager OR a mat that folds well with the third row.

I know someone in here said they attached their weathertech cargo mat with some Velcro, I wonder if velcroing it to the third row and the cargo floor will allow it to fold with the seats.

I would have considered the weathertech if there was an option for the seat protector on the 3rd row back to swing down independent of the other seat. With weathertech, it's all or none, which doesn't work for me when we take roadtrips and always drop one of the 3rd row seats to stow our gear.

See I didn’t think of folding only part of the third row down. I usually fold all of it or none of it. I’m sure I’ll figure something out. I’ve even considered the weathertech mat for behind the third row only and then getting a generic trim to fit situation for the back of the third row seats and just velcroing it.
I’ve seen the canvasback stuff and I like the way it allows for full use of everything including folding the seats and the cargo manager but ideally I’d like a rubber style mat.

I tried using the full Weathertech mat in the back of my Max. And leave it flopping over. It ended up being a huge Pain. So I bought the Weathertech that fits with the seats up. Then I would just change them out depending on my needs. But as life has it I would need the full mat when I didn’t have it. The Weathertechs are a lot more sturdy than the Ford mat. But it has held up pretty good. And the function is awesome. Both my Weathertech mats started to curl in the corners and would not stay in place. Drag something out of the back and the mat would come with it. The main advantage to the Weathertech’s for me are, more durable and the little border will hold fluid if you spill something. But convenience out weighs that for me. As far as the under floor storage. I only put emergency items in there. Tow strap, jumper box, blankets. Things that when I need them I won’t feel bad having to readjust the mat.

I think this is probably what’s going to win out for me. I prefer the style of the weathertech but I’m not sure I want to deal with having two mats, storing the one I’m not using, needing the one I don’t have, etc vs having to readjust on the off chance I use the cargo manager.

I also had another mat to cover the entire cargo area (3rd row down). After dealing with folding over or pulling out the other one for awhile, I was immediately sold on buying this Ford factory one for everyday use! The convenience is well worth it. I still have the other one with higher sides and more coverage in case we need more coverage.

Thanks for all the feedback. Going to order one for my Max to replace the Husky I started with. Anyone know if you can get protection like this for the second row so it’s protected when down?

I picked up the Ford ones and installed this past week. I like them. Not heavy duty but fit and stay very well

I ended up with two of the Expedition Max folding cargo liners. I ordered one through my local Ford Dealer and was told it was back ordered with no known restocking date. I then ordered one off eBay. Literally the day after I got the eBay item delivered, the liner I ordered from the dealer arrived. I can’t return the eBay item and my Ford dealer said they charge a 30% restocking fee for returned parts. I’m just looking to get my money back ($139.99 plus shipping).

Let me know if you are interested and where you are located so I can calculate shipping...it’s a big box so shipping won’t be cheap.

Is the cargo floor width different between 07-17 and 18-21? I see a slight curve where it meets the very rear, 7-17 are straight. If width is the same, I’d like to buy a Max and cut it straight to match my 08. Wish these mats didn’t have the child seat anchor holes cut out.

Anyone have 18-21 total mat width and third row seat back width measurements?

I finally got my floor mat for my max, used the part # listed throughout this thread. As someone else mentioned, it’s not truck-bed-liner tough, but it’ll definitely keep the carpet nice. The Velcro comes pre-attached in three locations across the whole thing: one strip across the entire lip by the vehicle back, near the word Expedition, one strip on the top of each seat back, and one strip at the bottom of each seat back. They had a decently strong grip as I was unfolding and placing it, making it feel like it’s not gonna slide around much.

if your online order is stuck at Processing, as mine was since March 22, call the dealer if you had it shipped there. The online ordering system was acting weird but mine had a couple in stock and I was able to go get it the same day I called.

I ended up in the exact same situation and received an extra from Safariland as well. Called Ford and verified no charge with them and on my credit card. They just said to drop off at dealer associated to that specific order. Shipping invoice will point to dealer code.

Has anyone found a similar mat that will cover the back of the 2nd row bucket seats? Most of the time when I travel i fold one bucket flat and put a dog bed on it.

I ordered the Ford mats for cargo area and back of 3rd row but would sure be nice to have coverage on the back of the 2nd row as well to keep the dog hair and dirt from being ground into the carpet on the back of the 2nd row.

The factory ford cargo liner is what you want. It has hook/loop on the back of it to stick and is cut for the seats. It stays put, folds all or single, and conforms. None of the others are like it.
