What is the Difference Between a Cargo Mat and a Cargo Tray?

Cargo trays, cargo mats, and even cargo liners are all accessories designed to protect the cargo area of the vehicle. They serve slightly different purposes, such as:

Cargo Trays

Cargo trays are made from rigid and durable materials like hard plastic or molded rubber. This accessory has a more structured and raised edge design compared to cargo mats, which helps contain spills and prevent them from leaking onto the vehicle's carpet or flooring. This means that cargo trays offer superior spill containment and protection and are better suited for carrying items that may leak fluids, such as groceries, muddy sports equipment, and more.
Cargo Mats

Cargo mats are typically made from flexible materials like rubber, carpet, or heavy-duty vinyl. Rubber and vinyl mats are easy to clean and provide good protection against spills, dirt, and other messes. They usually have a flexible and textured surface that helps prevent cargo from shifting during transit.
Cargo Liners

Cargo liners are made from heavy-duty and waterproof materials like rubber or thermoplastic. They are custom-fit accessories that cover the entire cargo area, including the sides and back of the rear seats when they are folded down. They have a form-fitting design that provides complete coverage, offers the highest level of protection for your vehicle's cargo area, and is ideal for those who transport messy or wet cargo frequently.
