Great info. For an additional take on volume, I got a 1+ cy load of mulch last weekend, putting a tarp inside the bed extender to keep it from getting into everything and was still able to easily close the toneau. Drove back up the hill to my house like there was nothing back there. :)
I plead ignorance though if I'd seen this comparison earlier I still might have gone with the OEM - used points, no out of pocket expense. Also, I'd had OEM mats in the 2020 Escape hybrid I traded in on the Mav and they were still like new with nearly 40,000 miles.
