Default Best Cargo Liner to Keep Cargo Area Clean?

I'd like to get something that covers the cargo area of my 05 GX so that I can throw dirty boots or whatever in there w/o damaging interior. Any recommendations?

I saw this so far: car-parts . com/carparts/lexusgx47020032006huskylinerh21257721.html, but have no clue if it's any good...

Advice appreciated.

Thanks - what do you like about it?

What about the "factory" cargo tray? It looks pretty nice: http://lexus.parkplacestores.com/cat...r=&us=6554.479

I have the factory Lexus one and like it, but I wish I hadn't cut out the holes for the third row seat latches.

I only keep one of the 3rd row seats in the truck, and barely ever use that one. I would have been better off just removing the cargo liner on the rare occasion I use the 3rd row seating.

Just food for thought for whatever liner you choose.

I use the Weather tech and it's awsome. It has a really high edge around the perimeter which keeps all dirt and liquids in/on the liner. I had a cooler with the bottom drain plug out post tailgating and it held all of the h2o where it's supposed to be. I did not cut the third row slits, I just take it out when we hav the third row in.

Does the weathertech fit the GX perfectly and does the lip stay up? I read some reviews that some weathertech's seem flimsy, don't quite fit perfectly, and the lips can lay down or warp, etc.

Nice gx pic btw cmarshack!

I too have the factory cargo mat and cut the holes for the third row seat attachments. Unfortunately the cutout area is much larger than it needs to be, exposing the carpeting around the seat latches. Other than this issue I am happy with the fit and quality of the factory mat.

I agree, Weathertech is very good! That is what I have as well.

Mine fits perfectly! The lip will lay down if you put something on it, but it useually comes back into shape.

thanks for the compliment

Thanks all, I think I'll stop by my local dealer and look at the factory tray. If I don't like it I'll order up the weathertech.

I have the weathertech mat in the cargo area and Husky liners in the front and middle rows. I have always been a huge fan of the Husky liners. I also have them in the 4Runner and the ML.

Weathertech is awesome I was gonna order the Lexus one and when I called Sewell they recommended the weathertech, and said if I was unhappy with it I could send it back for the Lexus one so I figured I would try it and I and its great I have muddy dogs in there all the time and the lips keep everything inside when pulling it out never have to vacuum...

Just realized last post was a month ago oh well. Weathertech is better IMO
