Anyone aware of any drawer / floor systems in pre / production ?

I'm aware of the Air Down Gear Up drawer offering but I'm looking for something more modular. Ideally I'd want the Victory floor / slider / drawer system, but no indication that they have a floor forthcoming for mounting. I guess I could just fabricate something from plywood to fit the rear section . . .

Edit - Victory confirms they are working on one, but no ETA

Here is the setup I went with:

I removed the tie down hooks and replaced with a sturdy D-Ring and used a turnbuckle to clamp it down.

The boxdimensions are Length: 23” Width: 39” Height: 13” which fits perfectly between the D Rings and I can still open the rear compartment.

With the drawer open it is easy to access the items while standing at the back of the GX.

Can't open drawer if anything else stored in front :(
Did you try mounting it towards rear door instead? not like it?
 
I use my GX for work and my tool bags and parcel items are usually in front of the drawers and can be moved easily. Not always convenient, but no complaints. Having the sturdy drawers to keep parts in is great. The full slide out drawers would be nicer, but not interested in spending spend thousands for drawers.

I went with @AirDownGearUp and I’m really happy with the setup. The drawers have a lot of capacity, and I chose to include a drawer fridge. There is no way I could have built a system of this quality for the price. The bed platform makes a great loading area as well if you’re not using it for sleeping.

Air Down Gear Up is superior and they’re very friendly and knowledgeable. I may purchase their system in time but for now I made this. Primarily I wanted to even out that gap between the folded rear seats and the cargo area for sleeping. But also provide additional storage surface area in the back (on the platform and below) and for everything to still fit underneath my cargo privacy cover (not pictured).

Keep in mind that what will work for OT/OT+ will not work for Premium and Luxury trims.

That looks great - simple and effective. Mind sharing your materials shopping list?
 
Another option is the Colfax Campers. I am going to their shop next week to get the GX OT measured. Not 100% certain I will purchase the system, but they are offering a discount for allowing me to measure the vehicle if I do decide to move forward. https://www.colfaxcampers.com/category/toyota
That's pretty interesting in that you still have rear seats available. Does ADGU have a system that lets you still use the rear seats?

I think that is how the ADGU system works. No doubt the ADGU system is top notch. Just a question of value for money for us.

We sure do! Our system has a mechanically integrated (no loose parts!), convertible sleeping platform that allows you to keep your 2nd row seats in place when the sleeper is not needed, and then fold the seats down and deploy the sleeper when you do. We have some fancy bracketry that locks the sleeper flat when deployed, as well as bracketry that locks the sleeper in place while stowed, ensuring the system is always 100% rattle free. We go into more detail in this video:

We are moving ahead with the Colfax Campers sleeper/drawer set up. Spent some time at their shop today. Looks like the GX is an ideal vehicle for this sort of set up compared to the 4runner (less headroom) and LC (shallow drawers due to the battery). The quality looks good, hopefully it doesn't rattle. They are going to work out how to maintain access to the built in compressor. Will take about a month to get it all built out.

What are the interior dimensions of the drawers with the dividers removed? How would you access the 2025 OT factory built-in compressor?

The ADGU GX550 drawer interior dimensions are 15.3" width, 36" length, 8" vertical clearance. Roughly 70 liters (~74 quarts) per drawer.

Full access to the OT factory compressor is provided by the top-access wing and from the face of the system with the drawer extended. This allows enough room to utilize the standard, OEM hose kit!

If you are looking at rear drawer options for the GX, it’s definitely worth comparing how different systems mount and integrate with the factory trim. A lot of options out there require building a separate massive base plate or even drilling, which can be tough to swallow on a brand-new interior.

At Wheels Feels, we engineered our drawer systems specifically to avoid that. We spent a lot of time 3D-scanning the GX cargo area to make sure the unit fits like a glove right out of the box.

Here is a quick breakdown of how we handle the layout:

  • 100% Bolt-On: Our units mount directly into the GX’s preexisting factory cargo tie-down points using stock bolts. Zero drilling, zero modifications to your interior, and it stays completely rigid on rough trails.
  • Flush & Rattle-Free: The side wings are precision CNC-cut to follow the exact contours of the GX side trim, so you don't get any annoying squeaks or shifting parts when you're airing down on washboard roads.
  • OEM Aesthetic: The entire top platform is carpet-lined to match the factory look, keeping everything clean and hiding your tools, recovery gear, or kitchen setups completely out of plain sight when the hatch is closed.

We build these setups in Houston, Texas, with a heavy focus on keeping your SUV’s daily utility while making it completely trail-ready. 🛠️

P.S. - we’re running a Father’s Day Special with 20% OFF this week.

I really like the build quality and went to your website looking for a lower profile unit. The Ultra Low Profile unit you have is what I'm looking for, however, it lists for $3800. The full version which is much larger, more detail involved and more materials is only $3650. How does this make sense? Odd price point for the smaller unit.
