Has anyone fitted drawers in a prado? (2001) Obviously we wouldn't be able to use the back seats but there's only 3 of us so thats not a problem.

Hi Emma
It is not a problem, as all the pre made units are made to suite an individual vehicles, and yes the rear 7th seats must be removed. There are many good makes on the market and I have only used Black Widow. I had them in my 1998 Pajero and now have Black Widow in my 120 Series Prado. Ours have handled the toughest of outback conditions, from the Gunbarrel, Anne Beadel both of which are known for their corrugations and many other outback trips.
Good quality draws are a real investment to your vehicles and for me it would be always to up there to the to add list of any new vehicle, but like they say each to their own.
Now comes the hard part for you to choose what takes your fancy.
Happy Shopping
Cheers
Stephen

I have black widow draws in my 90 series prado. I have an enclosed space on the left with a slide which will fit a 50l waeco. On the right I have two draws one short one tall stacked on top of each other. There is a small bay with a lid just behind the wheel arches. This comes to the height of the bottom drawere. This is a
good spot to store loose gear like 12v power leads, recovery straps tie down straps etc. There is flat section over the wheel arches, and the dimensions of the flat section exactly match my 20l plastic jerry cans. There is a cargo barrier just forward of the drawers and I can store items like an axe and water hoses strpped to the barrier and between the barrier and the drawers. I also have a 50l
water tank between the 2nd row of seats and the cargo barrier. When touring we store food etc in plastiv boxes on top of the drawer unit. It is not perfect and you do lose some useful space, but it works for us.
