Removed the Rear Sliding Tray-5TH Gen Limited

Tray installation

My dealer told me that you can't install the tray after-market - it is a factory install due to a different floor configuration. I actually decided it wasn't a good idea anyway, since it reduces the amount of cu ft of luggage space.
 
WTB Sliding Rear Cargo Tray 2015 5th Gen 4Runner

I am wanting the Sliding Rear Cargo Tray also.
I will trade, I have the regular carpet, under pad, tie downs and hardware that will go in it's place.
Anyone want to negotiate a trade?
I live in Longview Texas, will do reasonable travel or pay shipping.

Still looking for a Sliding cargo Deck, Any one have one close to Longview Texas?
 
So a little confused as I'm not from the 5th gen world. But my short mother in law is looking at these trucks and the sliding tray makes perfect sense for her. The only problem is we are having trouble finding a truck with that option. Am I understanding correctly that if she purchases a 2 row model we could just buy a tray and install it?

You would need the tray, carpet, rail system, cargo hooks, front storage piece, mounting hardware, and to drill into the floor pan to expose the two rear mounting threads for mounting.

Yes it's a really easy swap. The hardest part is having the patience to wait to find one. But as mentioned above you have to swap more than just the tray. The whole rear floor is different. Again very easy though, I just did it a few weeks ago.

Alternatively you can get the aftermarket universal cargo slide (check the group buy on here for details).

Goodluck!
 
Bump/update - some new info that may help someone.
Just removed the sliding tray on my '15 TE. I like the convenience of the slider, but I need the extra height.

1. There is no under floor sensor on mine. The clip for it is there, but no sensor. I do have keyless entry, and two presses on the keyfob releases the rear latch, so maybe they moved that sensor?

2. There is a steel floor support under the carpet, and this measures 3 1/4" below the top of the sliding tray. So, if I add a 1/2" plywood floor and a bit of carpet or rubber mat, I have actually only gained 2 5/8" of extra height.

3. I put the sliding tray back in for now. Not sure it is worth the loss of convenience, and loss of a level cargo floor, for just 2 5/8".

4. It does make some sense to replace the sliding tray with a shallow box for storage of recovery gear, etc., and to get back a level cargo floor, but then I would not gain the extra height I was after in the first place.

For those on a diet, the other consideration is that the sliding tray track framework is quite heavy, so by removing it you make way for some chain and shackles!

Yes, I was surprised by how heavy the mechanism was, it is definitely solid for holding weight!

I measured it at around 35 pounds, which was good news for me. I replaced it with a set of shallow drawers which ended up being about 55 pounds. But removing the slider meant only a rather small increase in weight overall. :)
 
I've gone down the path of building my own box/flat load floor. The reality is if you want a flat load floor you are going to give up some height. My platform is a compromise in that it tapers down in the rear at the same slight angle as the rear seats when folded. So the load floor is flat and flush but there isn't as big of a lip in the rear. I well laid in some logistic track for adjustable tie downs.

You can see some construction pics in my build thread.

I'm going to keep it for now. I am installing my Saris Traps bike rack ,from my last 4runner ,for my mountain bikes. I took the slider out to see what it is made of so I know what I'm dealing for installation.Figured I'm this far ,take it all apart to see what's under there.The tray is made of fiberglass so I'm going to pot some quick release nuts(aircraft hardware) into it so I can attach it easily only when we are going riding.After I cut the rack to the width of the tray. That way I can just slide the bikes in and out and sit on it to change shoes.

Yes , That's the "hidden compartment" turned upside down.
To find out how much it would cost for the solid deck,just go to your Toyota parts dept. or call and ask. I dont think the sliding tray is even an option on the 4cyl so have them check the 4cyl EPC for part numbers/price quotes.Or you can just go custom and make your own deck with carpeted plywood or honeycomb fiberglass,that's what I was going to do.

Basically it is a back saver/rear bumper saver, as you can pulll whatever cargo in/out so you can get to it easier.Kinda neat idea that grew on me but it does waste a few inches of vertical cargo space and would make it harder to load some big things.

Who makes that fork mount cargo area bicycle rack do you know?
 
You would need the tray, carpet, rail system, cargo hooks, front storage piece, mounting hardware, and to drill into the floor pan to expose the two rear mounting threads for mounting.

THat or just buy a take off from one of the guys who thinks that it will give them appreciable space benefit and dismount it altogether.
 
I just bought a '12 SR5 with the sliding tray. I really didn't want it, but this was the best combination I could find used. I don't particularly care for the height. I would be interested in possibly trading for the factory setup. Located in Mobile, AL.
 
I wil trade my 2014 trail for a sequoia if somebody is interested in the sliding rear cargo deck please let me know. Also I have other stuff

Thanks
 
Just a quick thread bump for a tray becoming available. I'm removing the entire rear floor and sliding cargo tray assembly on my 2010 TE next week. It will be available for sale if someone becomes interested. I'm located near Dallas, Texas.

How much?
 
Removing mine today out of my '14 TEP. PM if you are interested in it. I will also put a For Sale thread up for it, factory steps, and roof rails w/ crossbars.
 
I installed sliding cargo tray, and I have the carpet and all the necessary parts to look original, for sell if anyone is interested.
 
I just got a 2016 sr5 and it came with the sliding deck, I am thinking about taking it off after seeing this thread .
Maybe doing a swap with someone that wants one ....
Off course it should be a local trade as I am sure it must be a pain to Ship!
