Wranglers have fabric and plastic trim, and they specifically advertise that the floor can be hosed out. The difference is that it has drains (and floor != seat).

The drains I remember well. I spent a couple hours trying to get a friend's Wrangler extricated from a mudhole deep enough to where the floorboards were submerged in water that was just above freezing. Wasn't fun keeping a foot on the gas pedal to keep pressure on the now-underwater exhaust.
After we finally got him winched out of the hole, all the water immediately drained out.
They do not advertise that (at least not in North America) - the carpet will get ruined.

They do. I checked before I posted my comment.
Page 32:
> WASHABLE INTERIOR Not only is the carpet weather resistant, but it can be removed to reveal drain plugs that, when opened, allow the floor to be easily hosed out. Standard.

The carpet is specifically mold-resistant and even removable. I guess if you're in a humid climate, you need to make sure it dries fully as soon as possible; not as much of a concern in the Southwest.
