Harper7 deleted his. I thought about doing the same thing, but got a Canvasback instead and couldn't be happier.

JREITER— I have a 2012 Limited with the sliding cargo tray...I'm running a Husky Liner on top of a Canvasback.

I will admit, I am very impressed with the fit of the Canvasback, but I expected that the dog paws would murder it over time. So that's why I added the Husky.

I will admit, when the Husky arrived, I immediately installed it and looked at it thinking "really??". THAT is how this thing fits?

Frankly, it looks pretty awkward to me, and the high lip on top of the already raised cargo tray just kind of looks goofy. After adding the ICON lift and opening my tailgate for the dogs to load up, they looked up at it as if they were looking at a mountain..."we have to jump THAT high???" (get in there, Mutt!).

I also think the plastic /rubber is a bit harder than I hoped for. I can hear the dogs nails "ticking" on the hard rubber— a softer material would have been my preference, as it would have been quieter and offered better traction for the pups when I take my legendary 5G turns.

After being slightly annoyed with the awkward fit of the Husky on the cargo tray—as well as the seemingly too tall height with the lip— I think I'm going to move forward with doing Harper7's mod and just remove the sliding cargo tray as a whole. Then I'll add a little sound deadening and slap the Husky back in...although I may strongly consider just getting a mat made for Runners without the tray and selling my Husky.

The Husky isn't a bad product, it just isn't my preference...and I think they got a little lazy on the fit. I have no doubt it does a good job protecting the back end, and its ability to contain spills and water is unquestionable.

Hope this helps....let us know if you find something you like!

I just bought a 13 Limited and I probably researched what kind of mat to use on the sliding tray more than anything else on the entire truck. Prior to this vehicle I had an 07 Limited with the fold up cargo shelf, and although I love Weathertech (I had the floor liners front and back, and have them in my new 5th gen as well) it always bothered me that it never fit quite right. The edges never quite lined up, they folded over sometimes. Functionally it was great, but aesthetically it wasn't so hot.

I work for a dealer group that has a Toyota store, so when I ordered the 5th Gen, I called the Parts Dept and talked to one of the guys who recommended the OEM all weather cover for the sliding tray. Here are some photos installed...









Overall I'm much happier with the fit of this one than I was the weather tech in my 4th Gen. The corners might pop up from time to time and its probably a bit thinner than the Weathertech or the Husky, but its molded and looks much better IMHO. I put it to the test today with 3 bags of soggy potting soil that leaked all over it. A little garden hose action and she's good as new again.

I don't have the part # on hand at the moment, but if anyone needs it I'll be happy to call the dealer in the morning and get it.

YES! Please get a part #! I called my local dealer and he gave me what he thought was the right part # but there were a few in the system with not the best descriptions. He gave me what he thought was the number but I want to confirm before I order. Thank you!

Second, motion carries.

Cargo Tray Black (PT218-89110) is what I ordered from Toyota a while ago...

This is correct. I got an email back from our Toyota store this morning and this is the same part number. This is in black, other colors may of course be a different part #.

How much did you pay for it?

Has anyone done this? Will the standard "non-tray" Husky or Weathertek fit in a "tray-removed" 4R? I decided that I definitely don't want the sliding cargo deck, but there are some good deals on units so equipped. If I can disguise the fact that the sliding deck was ever there, I'm tempted...

Would add only one thing to the needs-improvement list. The tray liner leaves a line on the inside of your tailgate where it contacts and rubs. My interior is black, so its probably more noticable than a lighter color.

Also agree that the front and rear mats are awesome.

Bumping for the 2014 models with the sliding cargo deck. What solutions, if any are out there for us? Does Toyota have the rubber mat for the sliding cargo deck on the 2014 models?

As far as I know they did not change any interior dimensions.

Good to know, thanks! I'll see what I can find with the 2013 part numbers.

I do the same for the 5th Gen, and also flipped over the carpet mat on our double deck style 4th Gen. We just take a couple old sheets and cover the back of the 2nd row seats and the cargo area to catch the dog hair and keep things dry on grocery trips (such as the milk cartons that sweat).

It takes no more than a minute to set up and works perfect. No slipping for the pooch, no access issues for the "secret" compartment, no plastic mat rubbing anywhere, and when you're done you just roll up the sheets and shake them out in the yard to keep the dog hair outside your rig.

The slight problem with doing that is, with this sliding tray...things like to roll forward and fall under the tray if you're not careful opening it. With that OEM Toyota liner, there's a lip around it that helps prevent some of that from happening. BUT, that lip also means it's a pain when you're trying to transport large items because I have to try to remember to remove it at home before hand. Though, I've crushed the lip with large items before and it always seems to bounce back, not sure how well it would bounce back if I put on really heavy stuff. Everything in life is a compromise
