If you have a cargo barrier you can secure a strap there and then use one of the loops at the rear (one on either side) for the front. That will hold it down.

That's exactly what I used to do before I got my drawers

Securing a fridge without drawers
I use the child anchor restraint points on the LH side of the boot floor - one at the front and one in the rear (when the kids aren't using them). Worked a treat last trip too - just gotta work out a better way to secure all the other stuff to stop crashing into the fridge!

You could cut a piece of ply to cover the
floor in the cargo area, then screw an Engel Transit base to that.
One finger operation and no straps. I've used this system
for over 20 yrs in two different 4x4s

I my GQ i used to loop a small press buckle strap thing thru the eyelet where the seat belt mounts to the floor then around the fridge and thru the handles... Yes dodgy but it never moved. Yet to load the fridge into the GU.. But i'll try and find a neater solution when time comes....

I use those tie down straps with the eyelets it came with, and one of the eyelets is bolted down to one of the bolts that used to hold the rear seats, and the another strap around the other side of the fridge and onto the cargo barrier. Never moved at all ...
Hard to explain and I don't have a photo of exactly what I mean hope it made sense.

Isn't there 4 tie down points in each corner of the load area? Or is the fridge covering one up?
You could thread a turnbuckle strap through the rear seat (between top and bottom cushions) and secure to the seat frame.
