Prado 120: budget drawer and boot layout guide
Building drawers or a sleeping platform in a Toyota Prado 120 on a budget? Here are the real SUV boot measurements we've got on record, a rough ply cost in NZD and AUD, and some simple layout ideas that work in this vehicle. Measure your own before you cut. Liners, trims and model years all change the numbers.
This vehicle isn't in the planner yet because we're missing a floor length or arch width. If you've measured yours, those numbers are exactly what we need.

Cheapest ply cost estimate
We can't give a ply estimate yet because the floor length or the width between the arches is not yet measured for this vehicle. Measure yours and use these sheet prices: NZ 12 mm NZ$57.50, 18 mm NZ$89.90 (Bunnings NZ); AU 12 mm A$46.00, 17 mm A$71.40 (Bunnings AU). A typical twin drawer unit uses 2–3 sheets of 12 mm plus one thicker sheet for the top.
Budget layout ideas
- A low drawer unit (about 250 mm tall) keeps the view out the back window and still lets the rear seats fold where possible.
- A single-drawer and fridge-slide combo suits most SUV boots.
- Strap or bolt everything down: a loose box in a wagon becomes a missile in a crash.
- Check whether the rear door opening is narrower than the floor before you build. The unit has to fit through it.

How much does it cost to build DIY drawers for a Prado 120?

A unit up to about 830 mm wide fits between the arches with some clearance. Wider units need to sit above arch height.
