Cargo management system including a vehicle load floor to compartmentalize a cargo area into an upper compartment and a covered lower compartment is provided. The system includes a composite plastic first outer layer having a substantially planar upper support surface to support cargo in the upper compartment. A composite plastic second outer layer has at least one cavity defined by lower surfaces of the second outer layer. Each cavity has a size and shape which corresponds in size and shape to a vehicle component to restrain movement of the vehicle component and to prevent sudden transfer of vehicle component weight during vehicle acceleration and deceleration. A core including adjacent core portions has different thicknesses. At least one of the core portions has a large number of cavities and each of the core portions is positioned between and bonded to the outer layers by press molding to form corresponding panel portions.

1. A cargo management system including a vehicle load floor to compartmentalize a cargo area into an upper compartment and a covered lower compartment, the system comprising: a composite plastic first outer layer having a substantially planar upper support surface to support cargo in the upper compartment;a composite plastic second outer layer having at least one cavity defined by component engaging lower surfaces of the second outer layer, each cavity having a size and shape which corresponds in size and shape to a vehicle component, the component engaging lower surfaces restraining movement of the vehicle component and preventing sudden transfer of vehicle component weight during vehicle acceleration and deceleration without a need for a separate cargo management, organization or restraint subsystem beneath the load floor; anda core, including adjacent core portions having different thicknesses wherein at least one of the core portions has a plurality of cavities and each of the core portions being positioned between and bonded to the first and second outer layers by press molding to form corresponding panel portions. 2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the core includes first, second and third adjacent core portions having first, second and third thicknesses, respectively, and wherein the first and second thicknesses are different from each other and the second and third thicknesses are different from each other; the first, second and third core portions being positioned between and bonded to the outer layers by press molding to form first, second and third panel portions, respectively. 3. The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein at least two of the core portions have a plurality of cavities. 4. The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first panel portion is pivotally connected to the second panel portion. 5. The system as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a first living hinge which allows the second panel portion to pivot between different use positions relative to the first panel portion. 6. The system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the third panel portion is pivotally connected to the second panel portion. 7. The system as claimed in claim 6, further comprising a second living hinge which allows the third panel portion to pivot between different use positions relative to the second panel portion. 8. The system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a substantially continuous carpet layer bonded to an outer surface of the first outer layer to at least partially form a carpeted cargo management system. 9. The system as claimed in claim 5, further comprising a substantially continuous carpet layer bonded to an outer surface of one of the outer layers to at least partially form a carpeted cargo management system. 10. The system as claimed in claim 7, further comprising a substantially continuous carpet layer bonded to an outer surface of one of the first and second outer layers to at least partially form a carpeted cargo management system. 11. The system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the first living hinge includes a portion of the substantially continuous carpet layer. 12. The system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the second living hinge includes a portion of the substantially continuous carpet layer. 13. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the system is a carpeted, thermoplastic, cargo management system. 14. The system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the carpet layer is a thermoplastic carpet layer and wherein the thermoplastic of the system including the carpet layer is polypropylene. 15. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein thickness of each of the panel portions is in a range of 5 to 25 mm. 16. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the core portions comprises a cellular core portion. 17. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the core portions comprises a thermoplastic honeycomb core portion. 18. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the core portions comprises a honeycomb core portion. 19. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the core portions comprises a thermoplastic core portion. 20. The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the third panel portion is a close-out panel portion. 21. The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein each of the core portions has a plurality of cavities. 22. A cargo management system including a vehicle load floor to compartmentalize a cargo area into an upper compartment and a covered lower compartment, the system comprising: a composite plastic first outer layer having a substantially planar upper support surface to support cargo in the upper compartment;a composite plastic second outer layer having at least one cavity defined by component engaging lower surfaces of the second outer layer, each cavity having a size and shape which corresponds in size and shape to a vehicle component, the component engaging lower surfaces restraining movement of the vehicle component and preventing sudden transfer of vehicle component weight during vehicle acceleration and deceleration without a need for a separate cargo engagement, organization or restraint subsystem beneath the load floor; anda core including first, second and third adjacent core portions having first, second and third thicknesses, respectively, wherein at least two of the core portions have a plurality of cavities and wherein the first and second thicknesses are different from each other and the second and third thicknesses are different from each other; the first, second and third core portions being positioned between and bonded to the first and second outer layers by press molding to form first, second and third panel portions, respectively. 23. A cargo management system including a vehicle load floor to compartmentalize a cargo area into an upper compartment and a covered lower compartment, the system comprising: a composite plastic first outer layer having a substantially planar upper support surface to support cargo in the upper compartment;a composite plastic second outer layer having at least one cavity defined by component restraining lower surfaces of the second outer layer, each cavity having a size and shape which corresponds in size and shape to a vehicle component, the component restraining lower surfaces restraining movement of the vehicle component and preventing sudden transfer of vehicle component weight during vehicle acceleration and deceleration without a need for a separate cargo management, organization or restraint subsystem beneath the load floor;a core including adjacent core portions having different thicknesses wherein at least one of the core portions has a plurality of cavities and each of the core portions being positioned between and bonded to the outer layers by press molding to form corresponding first and second panel portions wherein the first panel portion is pivotally connected to the second panel portion; anda first living hinge which allows the second panel portion to pivot between different use positions relative to the first panel portion.
