Best Truck Tool Boxes

The UWS EC10473 Heavy-Wall Truck Tool Box is designed for heavy-duty use and will be an excellent addition to your arsenal if you are a contractor that needs an additional storage compartment in the car. Starting off, owing to the rigid core technology, the box will serve you well for years on end.

For your convenience, the kit comes equipped with all the hardware required for installing the box onto your truck. Likewise, there are built-in screwdriver holders inside the box, which makes it simple to organize the hardware you are carrying in the back of the truck. All hatches combined, the tool box features 3 compartments for both big and smaller tools but what makes it especially good is the sliding tray of the main storage area.

Made of high-quality aluminum, the thick walls of the box will firmly protect the contents thanks to the weatherproof design. With its low profile, the lid allows saving space without compromising the usability of this full-size truck bed tool box, which makes it a good option even if you have a small pickup. Furthermore, the additional compartments allow storing additional equipment aside from the standard power and general-purpose tools.

Wrapping things up, the EC10473 from UWS is simply the best truck tool box on this list due to its durability, reliable locking mechanism, and heavy-duty latches that won’t budge even in case of a break-in.

Meant to fit full-size truck beds, the toolbox suits most pickup trucks that have a TruXedo rail system installed.

First of all, the main distinctive feature of this tool organizer model is that it is made of plastic instead of the commonly used aluminum sheets. Even though the kit is quite large, it is compatible with TruXedo Deuce covers and bed rail systems (including but not limited to the first and second editions of TruXedo Deuce and Lo-Pro). That being said, the plastic box doesn’t fit Flareside, Stepside, and composite beds, which is not surprising considering the unusual mounting mechanism. Fortunately, the box is suitable for most pickup trucks (except for some smaller models).

Compatibility out of the way, let’s talk about safety features. Firstly, the box features additional mounts that are located under a truck bed, which ensures that your tools will remain safe no matter what. Secondly, the box can be locked using the provided key, however, it is recommended to make a copy of the key since the package features only one.

In the end, if you are looking for an affordable and reliable tool box for your truck, this model from TruXedo will be a good pick for that role. Exceptionally lightweight and simple in installation, it is by far one of the best options for standard and large-sized trucks.

The 73010284 from Better Built is yet another metal tool box designed to fit all your tools in the back of your pickup truck and it does the job quite well. First things first, let’s take a look at the core features of this chrome-colored model. With the dimensions of 72 x 15 x 18 inches, the toolbox only takes 15 inches from the back to the front of your pickup bed.

Moving on, to make your life as a user a little bit better, the box features auto-lift shocks that enable you to open the top lid even with one hand. Furthermore, the self-rising shocks can turn to near 90°, which eases the operation of the lid quite a bit, especially if you need to retrieve a large object or a tool fast. All that is not something groundbreaking but surely leaves a great impression.

The overall build quality is also not bad, however, the aluminum sheet sides are not something you should put heavy objects on. That said, as long as you handle the top and side lids with reasonable care, you won’t run into any issues with the overall durability of the toolbox.

All in all, if you are searching for a weather-resistant tool box that can be fitted onto the back of your truck, then this model from Better Built will be right up your alley.

The 36-inch tool box from ARKSEN is an under bed storage box designed to be fitted onto a pickup or a truck and will accommodate vehicles with a great clearance. We'd still recommend checking if your car’s bed will be compatible with the dimensions of the storage tool box though.

Size out of the way, let’s proceed to the mounting options. Aside from the thick drop-down metal door, the tool organizer needs to be mounted using the brackets. Like most products of the same category, this toolbox features a side opening mechanism instead of the standard top-mounted door. With that in mind, drilling a few holes is necessary to hang the box underneath the bed of your truck.

Moving on, the rotary-style latch in combination with a key lock protects the contents from theft. Likewise, the addition of the T-handle latch that features a dual-locking mechanism ensures that the lid won’t open while you are driving on the road.

All things considered, the ARKSEN plate tool box is a nice option for people that seek simplicity when it comes to driving the truck. There’re no needless bells and whistles here, the box is durable, reliable, and will firmly protect anything you put inside of it, so there’s not much else you could ask from an aluminum truck bed tool box.

The Yaheetech truck tool box organizer is one of the few models that are both well-made and not overpriced at the same time, so let's get right into it.

To start off, the box is fairly lightweight due to the 0.5-inch thickness of its walls as well as the lid. Despite being rather thin, the chrome-colored aluminum body is durable enough to withstand harsh weather conditions as well as some rough treatment in case you accidentally drop one of your tools on it. The same cannot be said about the stainless steel latches, though, which will require some initial anti-corrosion treatment if you want to protect them from rust.

The thing that somewhat disappointed us is the fact that this model comes without any mounting hardware and so, you will need to purchase the mounting brackets separately. On the bright side, however, when you get them, the installation won’t take long. Once you drill the holes, mount the box onto the truck bed or the tongue of your trailer and fix it with some bolts. The organizer will sit firmly and won’t slide as you drive your vehicle.

Finally, this steel box from Yaheetech is a prime pick for you if you are looking for a budget-friendly tool organizer for your truck.
