Cargo area protection for SUV's

[JDgreen227]

I carry a lot of building materials and tools, ladders, etc. in the rear cargo area of my GMC Yukon XL. It's a PIB using moving pads, cardboard, etc. to protect the floor and cargo areas from getting beat up. I have seen those ready made, color coordinated liners from places like WeatherTech, etc. but would really like to find something in black polythylene like the pickup cargo box liners, but WITHOUT the molded in fender wells.

Would anybody know of a source? Thanks.

dont know of anything ready made.... but they do sell sheet goods of UHMW for lining dumptruck bodies. dont know why you couldnt use the same material cut to fit the back of your SUV.

If you just want to protect the floor itself, what about one of those rubber bed mats for a pickup? Not sure what size you'd need, but I bet you could find one that be close. Set it over the wheel wells as it would in a pickup then trim the ends to length.

I currently use a pair of plush carpet remnants, one is 4X8 and covers the cargo area floor full length, and the second is 4X4 and is folded at a 90 degree angle to protect the second row seats that have been folded. It's the sidewalls of the cargo area that get damaged and I like the idea of getting the rubber bed mat and the UHMW for dump truck bodies. Currently have a secondhand poly box liner for a long bed S-10 pickup, could always cut that in half lengthwise and use it, but the wheelwells would eat up a lot of space.

Yes, I know if I had a pickup instead of a Yukon XL it would be more practical for hauling materials, but my better half wanted to have the 3 row seating capacity of the SUV.

Thanks for the suggestions !!

Heres a good oportunity to buy something. Get yourself a beater old S10 or ranger. You can find a decent one for trips to the dump or lowes for less than $1500, and keep the greasy stuff tools soiled garbage etc out of your $40K vehicle! Just use it for runs of this kind of stuff and park it in the side yard all other times so does not need to be pretty. OR you could jus tget a small 4x8 utility trailer, both will haul way more than that Youkon XL could think about.

Get an old drop-in pickup liner and cut out what you can use. Usually costs little or nothing.

Both Lowes and HD sell grooved rubber matting off of rolls...any length you want..just stitch it together or glue it..

Buy a rubber stall mat at Tractor Supply, can't kill those things.

Cabela's offers some of those cargo trays.

they weight a metric ton and are virtually impossible to cut. (almost as bad as old conveyor belt)
