With your truck bed occupied by a fifth-wheel or gooseneck system, the other contents of the box need to be relocated. Three alternate storage options to consider are:

• The truck’s back seat, which displaces occupant capacity
• The trailer, which occupies valuable storage or living space
• A storage compartment or toolbox, which has to be durable and weathertight, and meet tight packaging space requirements at the front of the truck bed

Considering a toolbox? Several factors would make one the most compatible:

• Packaging clearances
  • Trailer nose to the face of the toolbox (the distance the toolbox extends into the bed)
  • Trailer nose underside clearance during parking jackknife maneuvers—which needs a low-profile toolbox
  • Fifth-wheel hitch plate and handle to the face of the toolbox
• Usable capacity: If the toolbox is low-profile enough to allow for trailer nose swing, does it still have sufficient space to carry your gear?
• Tool-box access: With the trailer installed, can you still get into the storage box?

Taking all these criteria into account, Stowe Cargo combined a spacious multifunction toolbox with an easy-to-attach hard tonneau cover. This unique 2-in-1 toolbox-and-tonneau system gives you generous weathertight capacity to secure your gear whether your trailer is coupled or not—without carrying your gear in your pickup’s back seat. Adding the truck-tough tonneau cover extends this protection to the entire bed.

It’s a breakthrough combination of better organization, easier access, and stronger protection from weather, theft, and motion damage. Plus, a premium appearance that’s actually worthy of your truck.

Most important, this innovative solution was created with fifth wheel and gooseneck trailer towing in mind.
