Truck bed tool box

I just purchased a ram 3500 8' bed. Thinking of adding a tool box. Anything to consider with 5er ?
  • You may want to consider the size of the fuel tank. We added a 90 gallon vertical transfer tank with a gravity feed kit. It does not interfere with the toy hauler at all. We also keep a smaller removable box that sits below the rails in front of it.

  • Don't do what I did, which was purchasing a box that sits on the rails without testing to determine if you'll be able to see over the box while backing up to connect to 5er. My view was blocked and I had to make changes.
  • I installed one that doesn't come up above the bed rails so there's no chance of anything hitting. I know the "T" style boxes with wing doors are nice - and often sit above the bed so you can slide in a full sheet of plywood, but our truck only gets used for towing, so those were my priorities.
