The unit is a free-standing unit that can be easily installed in and easily removed from an automotive utility vehicle. The unit comprises (i) a platform which includes a hinged trap door and (ii) an underlying supportive wall. The unit is configured and sized so that when installed in the cargo-receiving area of the vehicle: (a) the unit preferably has a low profile; (b) the platform and closed trap door closely conform to the perimeter of the cargo-receiving area; (c) the unit defines a plurality of storage compartments beneath the platform; and (d) the trap door provides access to one or more of these storage compartments. In one form the platform and trap door both have a camouflaged top surface and the unit has a low profile so that its presence in the vehicle is concealed. In another form the edges of the platform abut or closely confront the interior walls and back door or tailgate and back of the seat that define the perimeter of the cargo-receiving area. Where these walls, tailgate and seat back are sloped inwardly, the unit is secured in place without need for attachment to the vehicle.
