Truck Tool Boxes

Truck tool boxes that lock your gear down

A truck tool box keeps tools locked, dry, and organized in the bed instead of sliding around loose or riding in the cab. The boxes in this collection are heavy-gauge aluminum from Highway Products, built in the USA and sized for real work trucks.

The main decision is style. Crossover boxes sit behind the cab on the bed rails and are the most common pick, with low-profile versions that keep sightlines clean. Single lid and gullwing designs change how you reach in. Side mount boxes run along the bed rail to leave the floor open, high side boxes ride above the rail, and 5th wheel boxes are shaped to clear a gooseneck or 5th wheel hitch.

Every box ships free with the manufacturer warranty. If you are not sure what fits around your rails, liner, or hitch, call or text and we will confirm before you order.

Frequently asked questions

What style of truck tool box should I get?
Start with how you load the bed. A crossover box behind the cab is the standard pick and keeps tools reachable from both sides. If you need the bed floor completely open for sheet goods or a slide, run side mount boxes along the rails. If you tow a gooseneck or 5th wheel, get a 5th wheel box that is notched to clear the hitch.
Can I run a tool box and a tonneau cover together?
Yes, with the right pairing. Toolbox-compatible tonneau covers like the Extang Trifecta Toolbox 2.0 and Solid Fold Toolbox 2.0 are cut short to seal against a crossover box. Tell us your box and truck and we will confirm a cover that works with it.
Why aluminum instead of steel or plastic?
Aluminum does not rust, weighs far less than steel, and shrugs off weather year-round. Heavy-gauge aluminum boxes like these from Highway Products take job-site abuse without the corrosion problems a steel box develops where the paint chips.
Will a tool box fit my truck?
Boxes are sized by bed width and depth, not by exact model, so most full-size and many mid-size beds have several options. Send your year, make, model, and bed length and we will confirm the right size before you order.
Do truck tool boxes lock?
Every box in this collection uses keyed locks. Pair the box with a locking tailgate or a tonneau cover and your tools are secured twice over.
