What types of tool boxes work best for trucks and trailers?There are plenty of tool box options, and the best one depends on where you need storage. Crossover (saddle) boxes sit behind the cab and don’t take up floor space. Side-mount boxes attach along the rails for easy access. Chest-style boxes sit on the bed floor and offer deep storage, while wheel well boxes make use of otherwise wasted space. If you’re working with a flatbed or trailer, underbody tool boxes mount beneath the bed to keep tools out of the way.How do I make sure a tool box will fit my truck?Before buying a tool box, measure your truck bed’s width, length, and height to ensure a good fit. Make sure the box won’t block your rear window or interfere with your tonneau cover, if you have one. If you’re getting a side-mount or wheel well box, check that it won’t take up too much usable bed space.What’s the difference between aluminum, steel, and plastic tool boxes?Each material has its advantages. Aluminum tool boxes are lightweight, rust-resistant, and great for everyday use. Steel boxes are stronger and more secure but are heavier and can rust if not properly coated. Plastic (polyethylene) boxes won’t dent or rust, but they’re not as tough as metal. Choosing the right one depends on how much security and durability you need versus how much weight you want to add to your vehicle.Are truck tool boxes waterproof?Most tool boxes are weather-resistant, but not all are fully waterproof. Many have rubber seals or gasketed lids to help keep rain and dust out, but water can still get in if the seals wear down or if the box is dented. If you’re storing sensitive tools or electronics, using a box with a reinforced seal or adding a weatherproof liner can offer extra protection.How secure are truck tool boxes?Most tool boxes come with built-in locks, but security depends on the material, lock design, and installation method. Steel boxes with reinforced latches are harder to break into, while aluminum and plastic boxes may be more vulnerable. If theft is a concern, consider a box with tamper-resistant locks and hidden latch mechanisms, and make sure it’s properly bolted down so it can’t be easily removed.
