I have been debating buying a crossover truck toolbox for my 2019 F150. I have searched around and found one that I am interested in at TSC. Does anybody have this box or do you have a different one that you "would buy again"?

I have it on my RAM 2500. I like it so far, it's noticably stronger than the Dee Zee one I had before that was a gullwing. This one a can stand on, and I really appreciate that welded on top thing that I can hook ratchet straps and bungees to. Overall, I'm really happy. 20200507_204626.jpg

I have the low profile version and like it well. It did not come with a tray, but TSC probably has them. It did not come with mounting hardware. I built my own.

I was hauling a riding mower and needed all of the short bed length.

Found this UWS wheel well tool box. It is made for the other side behind the wheel well in a long bed. Took measurements and it fit perfect on the drivers side in front of the wheel well:

Here’s my truck tool box. This is on the level of one of my better ideas. It’s WAY more convenient than a bed mounted one. If I wanted there’s room to mount another one on the other side. Yea sure I only have 2 seats now but that was a small price to pay.

Nice looking box. I'd recommend a tray - if it does not come OEM. My Taco Wagon has them built into the fenders.View attachment 655538

oosik, if I ever by a Ram I will definitely have that option. I wish all brands had those boxes.

These aren't cheap, but they will be around a while. The bright boxes have a clear coat that is tough to grind thru. I found this out modifying a large one to fit a 5.5' bed (cut out for wheel wells/weld pieces back in).

I finally got back around to the truck box. I went by the local dealer that sprayed by bed liner and priced a Master Guard. They are very expensive! He suggested a UWS which is what he sells the most of. It was quite a bit cheaper than the MG and a really nice box. Got it put on today. I will probably have it full tomorrow

Thanks for all of your replies.
