The Weathertech cargo liner goes on top of the existing carpet. it is nice but the lip edge to contain water at the rear end can get in the way during loading (at least that was true with the one in my dad's van and the one in for the 1st gen Sequoia.) It is hard to tell if this lip exists on the one for the 4thgen 4runner cause the images show the models for various cars and some have them and others don't. On the Van we just cut off this 2" lip with a razor knife cause it was always in the way loading and unloading. IIRC it's still there on the Sequoia but kinda folded over.
There is also an OEM carpet mat from Toyota that I used on top of the OEM carpet to protect it before I put in my drawer system. It worked well and would hide most sins on the floor area similar to the Weathertech.
You might look for Toyota Part No.: PT548-89031-11, PT548-89040-14, or PT548-89032-11 These are the ones that I have for my 06 as these are generally available for ~$50. The part numbers depend on if you have the tray installed or not and color of your interior. They have more for rigs with the 3rd row but I don't have the #'s for those.
