Review & Pics: 2021 Bronco Cargo Area Security Drawer

[BroncoFarmer]

Can’t find dimensions for the inside of this thing anywhere. Someone want to include those? Besides length and width I’d also like to know how tall of an object you can fit in these.

4-Door Box
Height from carpet to top of box is 8-¾”
Height inside drawer is 4-¾”
Inside width is 32”
Inside length (front of bronco to back) is 25-¾”

I just measured mine. I tried to be pretty accurate with it, but it might be off very slightly.

The inside of the drawer is about 32" across. Keep in mind the drawer is tapered inwards slightly, as shown in the picture below. That 32" is the usable storage space and factoring in the taper.

The height is 7" tall (roughly). I have a picture below of my air compressor for reference, which just fits. Keep in mind the middle has the locking mechanism, so this particular spot is a bit shorter for what you can place in the middle.

And the depth is about 26".

Hope this helps!

At least our measurements we posted at the same time are pretty close, haha.

Yeah lol
I did the depth due to the locking pin, damn close to the horizontal dividers, so I measured the height of the divider.
You get extra credit and a gold star for presentation though!

For the people that have this drawer, how far does it open? When I installed mine I had trouble getting the drawer inserted, and it's pretty stiff. It only opens about 3/4 of the way, to the point that I can't get to anything in the back dividers. I'm just wondering if this is the way it's supposed to work or if I've done something wrong.

Mine opens pretty smoothly with no effort. If it’s sticking I’m wondering if it’s not installed on the drawer sliders properly? That’s likely the issue. Mine seems to open up pretty much all the way.

That's what I was afraid of. I've looked at the drawer closely and I can't figure out how they could be installed any different. I'll see if I can take a picture to compare.

The drawer can be a pain to line up on the sliders properly. You need to make sure the little plastic black thing on each side is pushed down (or up, can't remember) and that the drawer slides in fully. If you don't, it will mess it up. Those plastic black pieces basically lock it in. If you can't fully see them on both sides, it's likely not sitting right.

Edit: One more thing I forgot, was look inside the shell of the storage drawer (the "outside" piece, not the drawer itself). When I got mine, I thought it didn't come with instructions. I later found them crammed inside and getting caught in the drawer as it slid in and out. Might be your culprit?

Thanks! It’s not the instructions, and at least from what I can tell everything is lined up correctly. The black levers are visible, and I’ve used them to take the drawer out 2 or 3 times. Here is a pic. The tape measure is up against the back wall of the drawer, so fully extended I have 6.5 inches that I can’t really get to. I have moved the dividers around, so behind the smaller row you can see there is a whole other smaller row is this about how other’s are working, or does the drawer extend further for you?

This is mine, fully opened (note - I took out one of the dividers, hence why it looks a little different). The back row is about half accessible, for reference.

Thanks! The picture definitely helps. If I count the slots on the side I think ours are about the same. I also rearranged the dividers because I wanted the bigger section in the front for my work laptop and backpack. So I have dividers in the 2 slots furthest to the back. The very back divider makes it hard to get to the items in the back, so I may just remove that one. I really like the drawer in general, I just wanted to make sure I didn’t do something wrong during the install.

No problem! I like your idea of having the larger spot near the front for quick storage of laptop and such. I think I might rearrange my configuration now.

Does anyone have a picture of the drawer installed and the rear seats folded down?

Wish I could help, but, no Bronco yet.

However, I know the box will be higher than the rear seats folded down. It doesn't fill that drop down, if that's what you were hoping for.
