5er toolbox needed

[Taurus18]

I'm looking for options/opinions for a 5th wheel style tool box. I'm thinking a maximum size of 48"x18"x18" and could possible go a little smaller that will go in the front of the bed.
Thanks!

The third one might hole one's golf clubs, however the first two will not. That is the nice thing about our old Truck Trunk V-Box. The whole top opens and hold two sets of clubs, shoes, and wheels for our pull carts. Chris

Chris, sounds like you are just carrying life's necessity's :B

I prefer a box that does not sit on the floor of the bed. I have one that is about 4 inches off the floor. That way when I remove my Signature Reese hitch I can haul a full sheet of plywood by going under the tool box to the front of the bed.

My local Farm and Ranch store has many models and makes to choose from.

I guess I'm a little late, but I would have suggested a toolbox with an auxiliary fuel tank.

Thanks everyone! I picked this one up this afternoon
It's not the best in the world but it looks like it will work just fine.

Does anyone use the poly plastic boxes? Or are they as cheap as the price?

I had one on my '99 truck for 8 years but with the next truck I went aluminum. The plastic was okay but the lid warped in later years and was hard to lock and wasn't water tight. I left it in the traded in truck.

If there is a Tractor Supply Co. near you, check out the selection. A lot more options than what Lowes or HD offer.

Nice box.

What hitch? 🙂

Well I guess i will have to put all your little "BOXES" to shame! Mine is still made right in Portland, Oregon.

Now I can tell you your backside will hurt some when paying for this beauty unless you are lucky enough to find one on CL for $300 like I did a few years ago.

It's a HighwayProducts, it's 30" front to back it has storage along the front side for oil and the such and a sliding tray that is about 3" thick at the top with several compartments. The new price is at least $1,000. If I were in the market I would spend that no problem.

This one is an application for a second gen RAM and probably others also. My point is if you like the tight fit get this application otherwise you will have about a 4" gap on each side so you can access the "D" hooks.

Oh, for the B&W haters just pretend the hitch is not in the pic. :B

How long do you want to keep it? I spent a little more to get the Weatherguard Model 664-5 chest back in 2001. It just went into my 2016 Ram and still works as well as it did when new. The black finish (matches the bed liner) hasn't flaked or chipped at all. It's quality stuff...

I will match you and raise it by one. I got this box in the mid 90's for our 93 RAM. It was the narrower one for the 2nd gens, however sat on the bed rails of the 93 fine. Then it rode in a 2001.5 for 14 years and is now in the 2015.



The V-box came along in 2003 or 4. Both were pricy when purchased, however they have been a great investment.



Sad that the company went out of business, but when the box stores started selling boxes it was just a matter of time.
