Nissan Patrol GQ: budget drawer and boot layout guide
Building drawers or a sleeping platform in a Nissan Patrol GQ wagon on a budget? Here are the real wagon load area 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 twin drawer unit that sits between the wheel arches, with a flat ply top you can sleep or stack gear on.
- Use the space beside the drawers, on top of the arches, for jerry cans, a recovery bag or a small battery box.
- Keep heavy gear (water, fridge) low and forward, close to the rear axle, not hanging off the back.
- If you sleep inside, a hinged ply platform over the drawers with a fold-out section over the folded rear seats is the cheapest bed.
