Ive been looking at the Canvasback and WeatherTech liners for my 24 Palisade since we just got a golden retriever puppy who sheds like crazy and goes on muddy hikes every weekend, and my budget is around two hundred bucks. I read online that WeatherTech is super easy to wipe down, but people say canvas holds up better to claws... so Im kinda stuck on which one actually works better in real life. Which one are you guys using?
Quick reply while I have a sec cause golden fur is no joke. I totally feel the struggle with muddy paws and shedding pups. Since you already know about the usual suspects, check out the TuxMat Cargo Mat Custom Fit for around 180 bucks. It covers way more vertical space than standard rubber liners, which saved my sanity during muddy season. Another solid option is the Smartliner Custom Fit Black Cargo Liner if you want something super rigid that traps liquid spills completely.
Honestly I was pretty disappointed with the standard rubber mats when dealing with a big shedding dog. Had issues with claws puncturing the cheaper liners pretty quickly, and mud just gets ground right into the textured grooves anyway. WeatherTech makes decent stuff for the floors, but for a trunk full of a golden retriever puppy, you really need something that wont slide around or let dirt sneak underneath the edges. Since your budget is around two hundred, you might want to look into the Canvasback Custom Cargo Liner instead. Canvas is way tougher against sharp nails than flimsy vinyl, and it doesnt trap moisture underneath which can cause weird smells over time. The main downside is cleaning dried mud takes a little more effort than just hosing off a plastic tray, but saving your factory interior from claw tears is totally worth it imo. Plus it covers the back of the second row seats when you have them folded down, which is a lifesaver when the pup shakes off mud inside the car. Hope this helps you avoid making the same expensive mistakes I did with trunk protection!
Came here to say the same thing lol. Great minds think alike I guess.
Huh interesting. I had no idea. The more you know I guess 🤷
> WeatherTech is super easy to wipe down, but people say canvas holds up better to claws Saw this earlier but just now responding. Canvas wins hands down for dogs. Mud wipes off easy enough with a damp towel anyway. Check out the threads on the Owners Palisade Forum for some installation tips before you buy.
