Re: cargo liner

So back to the original question.
Is the cargo area of an FEH different than a regular FE?
I'm guessing it is from the fact that there are different model #'s for the mats.
I just have a chance to buy one for a regular FE ($45), and though it's not a lot of money...I don't want to buy it, find it doesn't work (or will screw with the traction battery somehow) then have to go ahead and buy one for the regular price.

@MyPart. How durable is the carpet protection stuff. Will it stand up to dog claws?

Yes, your FEH has a slightly different shape. The Ford cargo mats are shaped such that they can be trimmed to fit a hybrid. However its surface is pretty slick which isn't very nice for keeping your stuff secure.
As mentioned here you're probably better off with an aftermarket mat than a Ford one, even if they do cost more money.

Since it IS a slightly different shape, I can go ahead and shop for the proper model.

The carpet protector is fairly thick and can stand up to moderate dog traffic. I have put double layers on the back of the seats and then put a blanket on top of that. The blanket is mainly due to wet dogs and not as a protection to the interior. I change out the protector about once a year.

I have a Husky liners all around but I still do a single layer on the factory rear cargo mat. I really dislike that the mat has stone color carpet. I think it should have been the dark grey like the rest of the carpeting. In any case, I've been able to keep my interior carpets VERY clean and mostly dog hair free.

We transport 2 or more dogs (60-110lbs each), once or twice a week to the local dog park or other events.

A single roll will easily do the job twice.

The new Explorer cargo area can have the third row seats fold down separately into a larger storage space that can be used with the seats upright. If I get a cargo liner for the top of the folded 3rd row seats folded down, I'll have remove it when I need the extra 1 or 2 third row seats in the up position in the back. My choice is that two separate cargo liners be made for the new Explorer. One for the third row seats up and one for the third row seats down.

Sorry to revive an ancient thread, but what model Husky cargo liner did you find that fits your '09 FEH perfectly? Husky's website isn't showing anything. The Husky liner from '06 fits fairly well, but the passenger side shape for the subwoofer isn't quite correct.

Re: cargo liner

I have one as well for a 2009 FE non-Hybrid but I do see what you mean. That's kind-of a new vehicle item/one time purchase or they may have sold the run out. Other items are ones that might wear out and need replacing so they still stock them.
