Stow ‘n Go changes what a good floor mat has to do. In a Chrysler Pacifica, Town & Country or Dodge Grand Caravan the second-row seats fold into deep wells in the floor, and the lids of those wells are exactly where a floor liner wants to sit. A liner that covers the floor beautifully but has to be pulled out every time you fold a seat is not solving your problem — it is adding a step to a feature you bought the van for. Owners on the Pacifica forums have converged on a specific set of trade-offs after years of arguing about it, and two of them matter most: whether the liner clears the second-row bin lids, and whether it covers the dead pedal, which is where winter salt and meltwater get underneath. The ten below are sorted by how they handle those two things.

The picks, in detail
WeatherTech FloorLiner HP
The default premium liner and the coverage benchmark — high walls, laser-measured fit and the longest service life on this list. For Stow ‘n Go it is workable rather than elegant: the second-row liner is designed to be folded out of the way using the seat’s stow assist, which owners describe as somewhat cumbersome but perfectly usable in exchange for the best coverage available.
- laser-measured vehicle-specific fit
- high raised walls with a channelled surface
- second row folds aside with stow assist
- rigid material that holds its shape
- sold per row
- the best liquid and debris containment of any mat here
- outlasts essentially every competitor
- excellent resale value
- does not cover the dead pedal, so salt and water get under the driver mat
- second row is fiddly to move for stowing
Husky Liners WeatherBeater
The most sensible all-round choice for a Stow ‘n Go van, and the one many owners pair with something else. It covers the dead pedal — the single most common complaint about the WeatherTech driver mat — and its second-row cutouts are shaped to leave the storage bin access clear rather than requiring the liner to move.
- covers the dead pedal
- second-row cutouts shaped around bin access
- ProGard formula rated for temperature extremes
- raised edges with a textured surface
- fits 2008–2020 Grand Caravan and Town & Country
- dead pedal coverage keeps salt and meltwater out
- better second-row bin access than most liners
- genuinely flexible in deep cold
- walls are lower than WeatherTech, so containment is slightly less
- finish looks more utilitarian
Husky Liners X-act Contour
Husky’s softer, more closely contoured liner, and the better pick if you dislike how rigid liners look and sound. The rubber is more pliable than the WeatherBeater, which is the property that matters most on Stow ‘n Go — a flexible mat lifts and folds around a stowing seat instead of fighting it.
- softer, more pliable compound than WeatherBeater
- closely contoured to the floor pan
- second-row single-piece option available
- fits 2008–2020 Grand Caravan and Town & Country
- covers the dead pedal
- pliability makes seat stowing much easier
- quieter underfoot than rigid liners
- still covers the dead pedal
- softer material scuffs more visibly over time
- less rigid walls hold slightly less liquid
3D MAXpider Kagu
The design-led option, and the one owners most often praise for how it looks and feels rather than purely for coverage. Its layered construction is lighter than a solid rubber liner, and forum reports specifically note it is not too bad to move around when using the stow-and-go feature — the practical test that matters here. It covers the dead pedal.
- multi-layer construction with a carbon-fibre-look surface
- covers the dead pedal
- lighter than solid rubber liners
- anti-skid backing
- available in black, grey and tan
- much better looking than a rubber tub
- light enough to reposition easily for stowing
- dead pedal coverage included
- textured surface traps grit and needs vacuuming, not just hosing
- less absolute containment than a deep-walled tub
TuxMat
The coverage maximalist. Owners comparing it directly against WeatherTech and Husky report TuxMat gives the best coverage of the three, and — importantly for this van — that it is pliable, which makes the stow-and-go operation easier rather than harder. It climbs much further up the footwell sides than a conventional liner.
- extended coverage up the footwell walls
- pliable material despite the coverage
- sold as full-vehicle sets
- moulded to the vehicle’s floor pan
- available in several colours
- the most complete coverage on this list
- flexible enough to work with stowing seats
- looks integrated rather than added on
- the most expensive option here as a full set
- the extended coverage makes it awkward to remove for cleaning
Mopar All-Weather Floor Mats
The factory answer, and underrated for exactly this vehicle. Mopar designed these knowing where the Stow ‘n Go bin lids are, so the cutouts and retention points line up with the van rather than being adapted to it. Coverage is shallower than an aftermarket tub, but nothing about the mat fights the seats.
- factory-designed for Stow ‘n Go floor layout
- correct factory retention hooks
- moulded channels with a raised lip
- matched to the interior trim colours
- vehicle-specific by model year
- cutouts and retention align exactly with the van
- clips in properly, so it cannot slide under the pedals
- matches the interior finish
- shallower walls than an aftermarket liner
- typically dearer than equivalent aftermarket rubber
SMARTLINER (MAXLINER) Custom Fit Liners
The value tub. It targets WeatherTech-style deep-walled coverage at roughly half the price, which for a family van that is going to be abused by children and sports kit is a defensible trade. Fit is good rather than perfect, and the material is a little softer — which, on a Stow ‘n Go floor, is not entirely a disadvantage.
- deep-walled tub design
- custom fit by model year
- low-density material that stays flexible in cold
- sold as complete multi-row sets
- textured anti-slip surface
- close to premium coverage at a mid-range price
- flexible in winter rather than brittle
- complete sets are keenly priced
- fit tolerances are looser than WeatherTech
- edges can curl if stored folded
Motor Trend FlexTough Universal Mats
The trim-to-fit fallback, and the honest choice for an older high-mileage Grand Caravan where a $200 liner makes no sense. Because they are universal and trimmable, you can cut them to clear the Stow ‘n Go bin lids exactly — which no moulded liner lets you do — at the cost of a fit that will never look bespoke.
- universal fit, trimmable to shape
- deep channels and raised rims
- heavy-duty rubber compound
- anti-slip nibbed backing
- sold as four-piece sets
- cheapest way to protect a high-mileage van
- trimmable, so bin lids can be cleared precisely
- readily available
- never looks properly fitted
- no retention hooks, so the driver mat must be secured carefully
Lloyd Mats Ultimat Carpet Mats
The carpet option, for owners who want the interior to look finished rather than armoured. This is a fair-weather choice — carpet loses to rubber the moment salt arrives — but the mats are thin and flexible, so they fold out of the way for stowing more easily than any tub, and they can be cut to the bin layout on request.
- heavyweight carpet with a rubberised backing
- custom cut to vehicle and model year
- wide range of colours and binding options
- thin enough to fold aside easily
- embroidery and logo options
- by far the best-looking option
- thin and flexible around stowing seats
- made to order for the exact van
- poor in snow and salt compared with any rubber liner
- needs proper cleaning rather than hosing
Rough Country Heavy Duty Floor Mats
The utility pick. Thick rubber, aggressive drainage channels and a price that sits below the premium liners, aimed at vans that carry muddy boots and hockey bags rather than a showroom interior. Coverage is good, the walls are tall, and the material shrugs off the kind of treatment that scuffs a carpet or a soft liner.
- thick heavy-duty rubber
- deep drainage channels and tall lips
- vehicle-specific fit
- textured non-slip surface
- sold as multi-row sets
- extremely durable under heavy family use
- good containment for the price
- easy to hose out
- stiff, so it is one of the harder liners to move for stowing
- utilitarian appearance
Buying tips
- Decide first whether you actually stow the second row. If those seats have not moved in two years, buy on coverage alone and ignore everything below. If you fold them weekly, pliability beats wall height every time.
- Check the dead pedal. WeatherTech’s driver liner does not cover it, which lets salt and meltwater run underneath the mat in winter. Husky and 3D MAXpider both cover it — this single detail is why so many owners end up mixing brands.
- Mixing brands by row is a legitimate strategy, not a compromise. The common owner combinations are Husky or TuxMat in front for the dead pedal, with WeatherTech in the second and third rows for containment — and it often costs less than a full set from either.
- Look at how the second-row liner handles the bin lids specifically. Some liners require you to lift the mat out entirely, some fold aside using the seat’s stow assist, and some have cutouts that leave the bin usable with the mat in place.
- Third-row coverage is worth buying even if that row lives folded. The third-row well collects everything that migrates rearward, and it is the most annoying part of the van to clean once dirt is ground into the carpet.
- Measure your winter, not your average. A liner’s flexibility in the cold matters far more than its rated temperature range — a stiff mat in a cold garage will not sit flat, and a mat that does not sit flat can slide under a pedal.
- Never stack a new mat on top of the factory carpet mat. Doubling up is the classic cause of a mat creeping forward into the pedals; remove the original and use the retention hooks the van already has.
