Abstract
A cargo management system including a vehicle load floor and a pair of opposing cargo trim panels supported above the load floor at opposite sides of the load floor within the interior of the vehicle is provided. The vehicle load floor compartmentalizes a cargo area into an upper compartment and a covered lower compartment. The load floor has a wood grain finish. The trim panels are compression-molded, composite cargo trim panels supported above the vehicle load floor at opposite sides of the load floor within the interior of the vehicle to at least partially define the upper compartment of the cargo area. Each panel includes a base layer and a coverstock sheet bonded to the base layer by press molding. Each coverstock sheet provides its respective trim panel with a wood grain finish in the upper compartment of the cargo area.
