Another option for a cargo mat is using a cheap padded mover's blanket from Harbor Freight that costs about $5. These are much easier to clean.
I have the Weather Tech cargo liner in my RAV4 . So when I finish a day of skiing I put my skis in the back, with the bindings over the cargo tray. But I also have some old towels laid down in the cargo tray. That way as the snow and ice melt off my skis and bindings, it gets absorbed by the towels.
Then every few days, I bring these damp towels inside , and they dry out in the house. I cycle through two or three towels this way. Less likely to have frost on inside of car windows too, in the morning, doing this.

I use a orange shag rug from the 60's over the rubber mat over the fabric mat when transporting brush or other yard debris.
 
For years, I used WeatherTech mats for my vehicles, and I thought that they were very good, but, several years ago, Toyota and Lexus redesigned their all-weather liners, and those are now my choice.

The Toyota all-weather liners don't go up the sides quite as high as do the WeatherTech all-weather liners, but they do go up higher than the WeatherTech mats. I think the Toyota all-weather liners are more attractive than are the WeatherTech liners, and I don't like the fact that the WeatherTech liners have the large WeatherTech logo on them.

I think that the Toyota cargo liner is especially nice. It covers the back of the 2nd row seats, and, when the 2nd row seats are folded down, the entire larger cargo area is well-protected. I've also felt that the Toyota all-weather liners and the cargo liner have held up well to years of use.

Roughly how much are those for cargo and floor mats? I looked at the price for tux mats and weather tech and they seem to be the same price $435 cdn so $10 US 🤑

The US Toyota website shows the price of the the all-weather liner package, which includes the all-weather mats and the cargo liner, at $269.

In normal times, though, it has been the case that, if you wanted the liners at the time when you bought the car, dealers would throw in the liners/mats at no charge or, at least, heavily discount them to close the deal. In today's market, however, that may not be the case.
 
I use Weather Techs in all my cars and am satisfied.

The Weather Techs are nice - no doubt. But expensive. We got Westin rubber mats from Rock Auto just for the front of our 2011 RAV4 since we rarely have passengers in the back seats. They fit well, have the lips to hold liquid spills and are easy to clean. Just a suggestion. Unfortunately, the mats for our year RAV are out of stock on Rock Auto.

The cargo liner was the only thing my dealer offered to throw into the deal, I took it and am glad I did!
 
I've used weathertech for years and found them the best. Unfortunately, like everything else, they cost a tidy bundle after you add front, rear and cargo area, Additionally, the cargo mats don't cover the back of the 2nd row seats when they are down. Over the years... because I always have the second row down, I've been placing a sheet of hardboard that I buy at Home Depot to reach from tailgate all the way up to the back of the front seat. I'm tough on the back of my car with golf bags and tools that I use when refurbishing Veteran's gravestones and such.
 
When we bought our 2021 Prime, we were forced to buy the OEM rubber mats. I prefer carpeted mats when driving. Anyone know a source for fitted carpeted front only mats? I prefer the OEM rubber cargo mat, so it will stay as can the rear seat rubber floor mats. Black or maybe tan to lighted up the dark interior.
 
We picked up our SE 2022 and it came with winter rubbed OEM front and backseat mats. We just need a cargo mat. They seem ok but who knows if they’ll stand up against canadian heavily salted roads. They also came with “summer” mats.
