Drawer system
Anyone know of an off the shelf drawer system that will fit the excursion?
I removed the 3rd row bench and would like something that is deep and gets close to the 2nd row seats.
Since its not custom, I recognize it won't fit the width or length perfect and I'm fine with that. Just want it as wide and deep as possible.
Thanks!

I watch a youtube channel and think it is called the Quality HVAC
https://www.youtube.com/@QualityHVACR
his service truck has a system of slide out drawers where he keeps tools, test equipment, etc.
pretty neat.
I looked for the link, but can't find it right now.

I've been thinking about the same thing. And under bed gun safe is about the right size and should be strong enough to place other cargo on top of, and bonus, it locks real good.
Something along these lines is what I was thinking, haven't actually bought or done anything yet, still just an idea for me.

I've had an under bed safe in the back of the ex for about 5 years. Specifically got it because I like to carry a full tool set, spare parts, etc. It's gotten me or someone else out of a roadside jamb countless times.
Mine is pretty much full width of the back. Before I moved the spare outside it fit between factory spare and the little AC door with about an inch to spare. Now that the spare is outside I have a lot of room on the driver's side.
It's worked pretty well for me, as I pile tons of construction tools or luggage or whatever on top with no issues. And when I say "tons" I mean I've had multiple hundreds of pounds on there much of the time.
As far as depth goes, the one I have is only about 24" . I have it pretty close to the barn doors and there's about 8 inches or so still to the third seat.
While it has served me well for my needs, it doesn't sound like quite what you are after if you want to remove the third seat and fill that area.
I have seen adds for something like you are talking about, I think they are generally for work vans. Occasionally they pop up on FB marketplace in my area.
I'm curious to see what you come up with.

I know that in your OP you mentioned an off the shelf system, but you did also mention maybe building one in another thread, if you are possibly considering a build then have a look at the 2 builds shown up in the Tech Folder at the top of the EX Forum page. Some good ideas shared there.
