Cartist Trunk Mat & Backrest Mat for Ford Expedition Max/Lincoln

In this review the Cartist trunk mat and rear backrest mat are assessed for owners of the Ford Expedition Max and Lincoln Navigator L from 2018 through 2024. The bottom line: this set is for drivers who want durable, all-weather cargo protection that fits the larger Max and L models exactly. The review focuses on fit, material, and everyday usability, and highlights why the molded groove design and TPE construction make it a practical upgrade for families and frequent haulers.

Key Features

• Model fit: Designed specifically for Ford Expedition Max and Lincoln Navigator L 2018-2024, the mats provide edge-to-edge coverage for those larger cargo areas.
• Material: Made from upgraded TPE that is eco-friendly, non-toxic and odorless, the mats tolerate higher temperatures than PVC and stay safe for family use.
• Durability: High-density TPE offers elasticity and resistance to wear, scratches and cracking so the liner remains flexible in varying weather.
• All-weather protection: Grooves and raised edges form channels to trap water, mud, snow and debris and prevent leakage into the vehicle carpet.
• Anti-slip performance: A textured surface helps keep cargo from shifting in transit, protecting both items and the trunk area.
• Longevity: Thicker construction and reinforced coverage are intended to extend service life under frequent use.

Who It's For

The Cartist cargo liner set is well suited to Expedition Max and Navigator L owners who regularly carry outdoor gear, groceries, pets or luggage and want a low-maintenance way to protect the rear compartment. Families who need an odorless, temperature-resistant material will appreciate the TPE construction and raised-edge containment.

This is less appropriate for owners of the standard, non-Max Expedition or non-L Navigator models, since the fit is specific to the extended Max and L wheelbase. Buyers who prefer carpet-style liners for a more premium interior look should also consider other options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the material smell or off-gas?
The mats are made from upgraded TPE that is described as non-toxic and odorless, so strong chemical smells are not expected after installation.

How easy is it to clean?
The groove channels and raised edges make debris containment simple; rinse or wipe the mats clean and allow to dry before reinstalling.
