Don’t Know How to Choose a Truck Tool Box?

Truck Tool Box Breakdown

All-Purpose Boxes

The All-Purpose Box is like its name and can be used for all purposes. You store tools, toolboxes, and other items you need for your daily job. It does not take up a lot of space on your bed but will lie on it.

Cross Boxes

With easy access from either side of your truck, it is preferred for anyone who needs to grab and go. Buttons on either side make it easy to open and safely secure in the box.

Hi-Side Boxes

This is great for maximum accessibility while you are working. When swapping a tool, open the door and grab the one you need. There are no pre-installed shelves for these boxes, though, and since you are getting more height and not width, you will have to stack your tools. This can easily be remedied with a homemade or store-bought shelf system.

Lo-Side Boxes

Maximize your work effort without constantly entering your truck bed to fetch tools. These boxes give you space on the bed of your truck without losing space for storage for your tools. For additional storage, you can also use them with your cross box for more room for your tools.

Pork Chop Boxes

When you are demanding space or need a little more storage for your tools, the Pork Chop is what you will need. This toolbox mounts right on top of the wheel hub near the tailgate. This box uses what would otherwise be a wasted space for tools or even an emergency kit.

Saddle Boxes

This box melds the All-Purpose and the Cross Box, focusing on utilizing the bed frame while maximizing storage space. This box gives you easy access from either side of the truck and the bed. You do make the sacrifice with more storage for tools. You lose space in your truck bed to load materials.


Selecting Your Box

To find the box that best fits your truck, select your truck brand, choose your model, select the style of box you would like, and select the box you want. The link will take you to our website, where you can find more information about the truck box and add it to your cart.

    I like the tip that you gave to look for a toolbox that will fit your truck. My wife and I have been talking about finding a new toolbox to fit the tools that I got for my birthday, and it would be important for us to know that we can find one that will work for us. If we choose to get a toolbox, I will be sure to look for one that will fit our truck.
