Best Cargo Mat (POLL)

[GreekWiz]

I have the regular US ones made from WeatherTech. So not the answer you were looking for then.

All good.

Has anyone had experience with diamond floor mats, out of the UK? These look really nice but I’m wondering how durable compared to Weathertech.

FWIW, I went with ToughPro, and am happy. Fit is good, cost was reasonable. Effectiveness and look is very good. I'm actually quite happy, and would do it again. Maybe some of the others are better, can't say - but I will say these are working out quite nice for me.

I Did the 3-seats version, plus the folded seat cargo version. My only wish is on the cargo area mat, they had an all-rows folded option, vs just the 3rd row folded option. A lip would have been nice I suppose, but the honey-comb pattern should provide decent enough drips and small-spills capture as is, regardless.

 

[lazyengineer]

Would be nice if Toughpro put a couple of creases in the Cargo mat so it would lay flat If the third row was up or down. Seems to take up a lot of room rolled up

I imagine with a little inginuity you might be able to attach it to the backs of the seats, such that it stays attached to them when you fold them up. I haven't bothered, as my 3rd row pretty much never comes up anyway. But if I did, I'd probably look into poking a hole or two and seeing if I could attach to the headrest bar or the seat-back hook area with a small bungee cord or such.

So anyone that has bought a Tuxmat willing to share their order number with me privately, so I can get the referral discount?

I would pay it forward to the next person wanting one.

For anyone interested in Tuxmat, or not sure due to Tuxmat having wrong photo on their 7 seater page, here is some pics from Alix at Tuxmat directly sent to me for the 7 seater configuration.

@DruKe Congrats on picking up “Kate”! Really excited for you. Can you post pics with the ToughPro mats? Interested in getting them too. Thank you for all you do for the forum and failcat.

Here is a picture of the ToughPro cargo mat. I put WeatherTech in the 3 rows. Sorry, Mat is a tad dirty, but the fit is perfect. We really never use the third row seat, and on occasion when we need to, can easily just roll or fold mat back.

Looks great. I plan to order this too as we only use the 3rd row when my parents are visiting which is only twice a year.

Floormats for Telluride - good options?

I want to get good floormats to protect the car, and there a lot of choices on Amazon: OEM, "TOUGH Pro", "Tux Mat", etc. Does anyone have a good experience with a particular company that they'd like to share in terms of fit, quality, etc? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that I'm going to purchase the smartliner floormats with their cargo mat, whether that be the full coverage (2nd row) or cargo coverage (3rd row) or both.

I'll caveat with saying, I'm only specifically looking at floor mats that provide coverage between captains chairs, which limits some of the brands.

Still haven't decided on a cargo mat.
I will add that any product that rolls up like a yoga mat and just sits there until needed, while practical in ways, is not a solution that we're pursuing.

The problem we're facing is that, if we buy a product from a company that just offers 3rd row coverage (the smaller mat), we're leaving the seat backs unprotected when the seat is down. If we buy a full coverage mat, it limits you being able to put the 3rd row up, and when you do, you don't have cargo coverage.

I say we'll have the 3rd row down most often. She says we won't (and she'll probably win the argument until we need to haul things, you know, like the stroller and a load of groceries that'll probably require the seat to be down....which is often).

I feel that the 60/40 split products are the most practical, whether that means the Kia carpeted one 2020-2021 Kia Telluride Carpeted Cargo Mat With Seat Back Protection (AA017) or the canadian one OEM All Weather Premium Cargo Mat with 60/40 Seatback Protection

These ones leave the seat back protected when up or down, but the US carpeted one isn't all weather and just provides an added layer of protection and the Canadian one is $$ to ship. It does, however, meet all of the other needs. I.E. if I bought both the full or partial coverage mats from Smartliner or similar company, I'd have to store one in the garage and deliberately swap out when needed. With this option, you don't have the flexibility or convenience that the 60/40 does in that, if running errands and you need that space / protection, you can just drop and go.

-Question the misses wanted me to ask - has anyone who has the 3rd row down most often noticed any pressure indentations into the 3rd row seats? Do the backs lay directly onto the seats or is there a mechanism that acts as a dead-fall and prevents the seats from laying directly on the seat? We want to be able to protect the integrity of the seat when down.

Oh the dilemma.

I'm having the same dilemma @disweds12. The 60/40 are really the best option from a utility standpoint for my use. And the rubber one is the ideal choice if not that it's only produced for Canada and the price w/ shipping seems a bit crazy. I'm not sure if I'll just go with the carpeted one, or one of the other rubber options that aren't the 60/40 style and I'm not as thrilled with.

-Question the misses wanted me to ask - has anyone who has the 3rd row down most often noticed any pressure indentations into the 3rd row seats?

I haven’t seen and impressions/indentations on the leather seats when leaving them in the folded position for extended periods of time. Only thing that would is if you forgot an object on the seat, or didn’t tuck away the seatbelt latch.

Have you also considered canvas/fabric liners for the cargo area? It would allow for 60/40 split too.

[TellTastic]

@Tellthemride , thanks for the answer. I appreciate it.

Yes, I've seen the images and I haven't been too thrilled. Not sure why. I assume it's probably because that color is throwing me off and I haven't seen or heard any reviews of it on here. I'm not sure I could get over the texture over. Silly, I know, but my mind says 'either carpet or molded rubber'. I appreciate the link. I'll definitely need to look more into it.

 

[DarkMossJustin]

The ToughPros looks like the best option for me. I realize this is about the cargo mats but does anyone have the ToughPro front row/2nd row/3rd row floor mats?

No one has volunteered to p[ass their order number to me, but once I order I will pass it along to you. I will be probably ordering early next week, waiting for my salesperson to see if they are willing toi give me a deal on the 60/40 with matching 1, 2, 3 row. I doubt it, cause they are stingy. Plus they quoted me wrong amount on the 60/40, and I bet will try to renege on the deal I had for the tow hitch package.

Well written and thanks for putting everything in one place. I’m leaning towards the Smartliner floor mats with the CAD 60/40 split cargo mat. I have plenty of time to decide as I don’t have a VIN yet.

no. Looks like just the standard behind 3rd row as others. Even if they did, I personally wouldn’t get it. I can’t stand the basketball print. TuxMat is not the brand for me.
