1yr. Review. I bought this because I needed a tool box for the bed of my Tacoma but did not want to spend hundreds of dollars on a metal tool box that would get in the way of a bed cover or my aftermarket bed bars, which all of the ones at the hardware stores would. I also needed it to be deep enough to fit all of my stuff which again, most of the ones at the hardware stores were pretty shallow. I found this and decided to give it a shot. First off, the box is plastic but is texturized very well and feels like really good, heavy duty plastic. Kinda like a pelican case but a bit thinner. I have no issues with flex or cracks even loaded down. I can literally sit on this no problem. The texturizing would go very well with many bedliners people have, very similar to rhinoliner or linex. The lid hinges are good, no issues with that. The lockable hinges on the front are standard ones you can find at a hardware store for crafts/sheds. They are metal but im sure you could break them if you really wanted in. Provide your own padlocks and get good ones. The lid is very thick and sturdy. There is a lip around the inside under the lid, when the lid shuts, this lip seats under the lid's overhang which helps against water ingress. I never had any issue with water going into this but just for peace of mind, I added some 3m weatherstripping to the lid so the lip sits against that when closed. Not needed but just for safe measure. Its pretty waterproof as is. Great case for leaving outdoors and in general I think its better than those metal toolboxes. Even has little hand holds molded into the side edges. Now onto retrofitting it for my Tacoma. I bought the 6.3 cubic feet one. Let me just say this is a perfect fit for the bed of my Tacoma. It fits perfectly widthwise. I drilled four holes from the inside rear so I can attach a bolt through the back and bolt it to my rail system in the bed. I bought t-slot nuts made for the Tacoma's rail system and was able to perfectly attach this to that rail with bolts going through from the inside. The height is almost perfect but because I am bolting it a little higher to attach it to my rails, I took two 2x4's and cut them about a foot length each. Then I wrapped them in rubber matting I bought at a home depot. I bolted the 2x4's through the bottom of the toolbox to position it a little higher so I can clear my bed rails and open the lid while bolted on those rails. This way, the weight of the box rests on those 2x4s instead of hanging a few inches short from the bottom and stressing the plastic. Literally perfect now. My ONLY gripe with this box is I wish the lid had some kind of mechanism to stay open. Because its bolted against my truck's bed, I cant open the lid too far. Might fit some struts on it to help with that. Overall, the best toolbox for these Tacomas in my opinion. Im very happy.

This is the best cargo box I’ve ever owned. I’ve tried several of the years that were either too small, flimsy, something would break or otherwise would age too quickly. I needed a cargo box to put on a cargo carrier rack attached to a hitch on an off road vehicle. This box is tough, large enough to carry all of my camping gear, hiking and fishing gear and it’s easily locked when you’re away in the woods. Great product, wished I found it sooner.

I got this as a truck box to store emergency equipment. It is bigger than I expected, which is great . It easily fits everything I needed to put in there. It’s been in the back of my truck for a week and so far everything has stayed dry. The only bad thing about it is that the metal latches That hook over the eyelets so you can lock it or secure it are impossible to get undone. The cut out portion of the plastic where the latches are is not big enough to get a normal i.e. my size, finger in there to undo it easily. I end up needing to press down on the lid to take some of the pressure off and use a key to pry the latch forward so that I can get my finger underneath it to open it. That is very annoying, but other than that it works great.

I also bought this to put in the bed of my 2021 Tacoma to store tools and truck gear in. Fits perfectly between the wheel wells and under the tonneau cover. Latches are ok. Not the best but will work. If you think a thief isn't going to get right through them, think again. If you're looking for any form of security, this box is not for you. Yes plastic warps when exposed to sun and heat. I definitely would not put this box exposed directly to the elements, nor is this box waterproof. If you just want to keep your truck bed organized and all your truck gear in one spot, then this is a good option if you already have a tonneau cover or cap.

I think this is what I have been looking for, a heavy duty plastic container that I can make water resistant and strong enough to deter potential thieves. Additional: Measurements: in inches Outside: Bottom: 18.5 wide by 41.25 long Top: 19 wide by 44.5 long The total heigth 17.0 Inside: 18.0 wide by 41.0 long by 15.25 to the top of the lip. Top: double thickness and appears to have a black foam core to make it more ridge. I stood on it with my 200lbs. It is 2.25 thick at the lip and 1.0 thick inside the lip. 17.0 by 42.0 on the inside. The body is approximately 0.125 thick and presses directly on the flat inside of the lid following the shape of the tops overhang. I expect it to be water resistant to direct rainfall but as I intend to expose it to being pulled behind a motorcycle I will install a flat rubber seal where the bottom meets the top or find something better if it fails to keep the rain out. I'm going to use this as the basis of a solo-wheel motorcycle cargo trailer. It's frame will have sufficient structure to support about one hundred pounds of glamping gear when my spouse travels with me. Looks large enough to even carry a small cooler. The walls of it look to be twice the thickness of most house storage containers. Its also advertised for pickup bed storage. The lid is double wall and just needs a rubber seal to improve water resistance if exposed to the weather. I'll be finding out if I need to pack it using dry bags. I plan on repainting the black top a more reflective color to reduce its heat absorption. It was attractively priced and the shipping free. It arrived in less than a week. I should have a working trailer for my BMW R75 by the end of the summer.

Tough, sturdy truck box. Fits nicely under my tonneau cover as well. Locks on front. Only negative is no hooks on side to tie it down inside box.

Box is just ok, certainly not worth $200. I would say for $100 it would be good. Plastic is on the cheap/flimsy side. I got it because it is not made in china, fit in the back of my jeep and was black/lockable. I’ve got it bolted in and using for tool storage (compressor, jack, impact and sockets. It’s hold a decent amount of things but could probably be 6” wider. I’m going to keep it as I’ve drilled holes in it but I’m not overly impressed for the cost

Never commented on a purchase before... pay it forward I guess, huh? Prior to purchasing, I knew I had to find a box which I might modify to allow me to open the lid of the box in the back of my SUV. I might have gone with a popular aluminum box solution, but the width dimension of this box fit my need perfectly. The cargo area of my SUV tapers towards the top preventing a rectangular-shaped box/lid from opening to any significant extent. The lid is a rigid double-walled plastic, corrugated on the underside to provide enhanced sturdiness. Knowing that I would have to compromise the sturdiness (and security) of the box, I cut the front corners of the lid with an angle grinder. Sanding down the edges and melting the rough cut edges with a heat gun (to smooth it out), the box now opens an additional 6" in the back of the SUV - more than enough extra to access the tools I keep stored in the box. An additional hole in the lid allows me to tie the lid open with a small bungee. The lid and overall structure remains sturdy (I won't be standing on it), and the opening at the corners from the cut is acceptable for my use. The locking latches, of course, remain intact. In it's unmolested form (and even with my hack job) the box could easily/comfortably sit two taking a lunch break. It ain't pretty, but it's better than my previous configuration; and it serves as a reminder that I should have chosen a pickup truck over marriage. Hope this helps anyone confronted with a similar challenge.
