Mainly for looks but will be used. Do you like the look? I think it compliments the chrome wheels...I don't use the bed much by the way

I love the look of a toolbox on trucks. Definitely adds a little beefier look to it in my opinion.

I used to love my tool box until I had to use it for work supplies and i cant keep my tools or jumper cables in there. And if you can try to find a box with hydrolics on the side because mine has it in the middle and it is always getting in the way.

Why couldn't you keep tools or jumper cables in there?

I store and transport pesticides in there. It's mostly a safety thing.

On a crewcab I wouldn't, the bed is small enough as it is, I wouldn't want to sacrifice more of it to the box, You'd only have about 3' of bed space afterwards, at which point, why have the truck?

Maybe a stupid question. I've not really looked or researched tool boxes, but the thought jus hit me I can keep my things for cleaning and detailing in it. Now for the question. Do they make a tool box that just sits in the bed and not on the rails??? I've got a hard tonneau and just wondering if they even make such a tool box.

Exact reason I don't have one on my truck.
