Below, we’re spotlighting five standout designs that take truck storage to the next level.

WEATHER GUARD Truck Toolboxes with PowerSync™
Already a household name in the trades, WEATHER GUARD has raised the bar with its PowerSync™ system—a smart lineup of accessories that bring modern convenience to the jobsite. Designed to work with select truck boxes, PowerSync™ lets you add interior lighting that kicks on automatically when the lid opens, plus remote keyless entry so you can pop your box open with a key fob. The system installs in about 30 minutes, with no wire splicing or guesswork required, and uses weather-sealed OEM-grade connectors for lasting durability.
Even without the innovative add-ons, WEATHER GUARD’s truck toolboxes are tough as nails—built with powder-coated steel or aluminum, precision weather seals, and advanced locking systems that keep your gear protected. But when you’re ready to level up, PowerSync™ makes daily access faster, easier, and a whole lot slicker.

Westin Brute™ Elite Series Toolboxes
Westin might be better known for grille guards and step bars, but their Brute™ Elite Series of toolboxes proves they deserve a spot in the conversation—especially when it comes to innovative solutions for working professionals. Made in the USA and designed specifically for contractors, these boxes offer rugged construction and thoughtful features that go beyond basic storage.
What sets them apart? Two-tiered storage in an extra-deep, extra-tall configuration that adapts to your rig and delivers usable, customizable space that helps you work smarter not harder. The top shelf is reinforced for heavy loads, while the lower drawers include built-in organizers to keep your tools and gear dialed in. Other perks include locking stainless steel T-handles, a full rubber seal for weather resistance, and an aluminum diamond tread that stands up to tough conditions. Available in several lengths and finished in classic silver or stealthy black powder-coated aluminum, it’s a professional-grade toolbox that doesn’t mess around.

UWS Wheel Well Toolbox with Sliding Drawers
When it comes to truck storage, UWS takes a smart, innovative approach with its Wheel Well Toolbox with Sliding Drawers. Already sporting a clever design that maximizes bed space by integrating seamlessly with your truck’s wheel well, this toolbox also features a trio of rear-facing sliding drawers, perfect for small items prone to getting lost. No more digging around for hardware or fasteners; this toolbox saves you time and frustration by ensuring everything has its place.
Crafted from extra-thick aluminum with a special foam-filled lid for added strength, the toolbox is built to handle the tough stuff while still remaining lightweight. The stainless steel lock handle keeps your gear safe, and the MicroSeal gasket ensures your tools stay dry and dust-free. Meanwhile, the drawers themselves slide smoothly thanks to corrosion-resistant zinc-plated metal sliders and stainless steel ball bearings—all sealed behind a lockable access door for extra protection.

DECKED Truck Tool Box
Some toolboxes are built tough. The DECKED Truck Tool Box is built tougher—and smarter. Made from high-impact resin reinforced with steel and aluminum, this beast shrugs off dents, dings, and even crowbar-wielding thieves. With a 500-pound dynamic payload rating and a waterproof, secure design, it’s ready for anything from brutal jobsite conditions to off-grid adventures.
In addition to sporting an innovative design and construction, DECKED toolboxes also feature clever add-on accessories, like portable organizer trays, tie-down tracks, and even a fold-out telescoping ladder that makes bed access a breeze. Engineered and manufactured in the USA and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this toolbox is all business, no compromise.

Stowe 2-in-1 Toolbox and Tonneau System
The Stowe 2-in-1 Toolbox and Tonneau System offers a practical solution for truck owners who want secure, weathertight storage without sacrificing full bed access or sleek styling. This dual-function setup combines a low-profile, lockable toolbox with a durable one-piece, hinging tonneau cover to help organize gear and protect it from weather, theft, and road damage.
The toolbox offers a roomy, reinforced compartment that can handle up to 400 pounds of gear—tall enough for a five-gallon bucket, long enough for golf clubs, and tough enough for jobsite tools. Custom double-bulb seals protect your cargo from moisture, dust, and road grime, while the flush-mount design keeps your rear view unobstructed and makes side loading easier. The matching tonneau cover uses the same premium sealing tech and removes in minutes to accommodate tall cargo. Together, the entire 2-in-1 system is corrosion-resistant and built from lightweight aluminum and composite materials that are virtually indestructible. (It’s also fifth-wheel friendly!)
