why is this box not recommended for pickup trucks
2019396
The only reason I can even guess why it's not for pickup trucks is because it does not have any holes drilled into the bottom for mounting it down to the bed of a truck. All you have to do is put four holes in the bottom and bolt it down for security and safety in the bed. This box is a rectangle, there are no lips on the ends to hang onto the sides of the bed either, but I'm sure you knew that. It arrived to us in good shape, nice black paint, all aluminum and gas shocks to hold the lid open. I saw that (not for trucks) when I was ordering and it gave me a bit of heartburn as well, but it is perfectly fine.

It's supplied with it own full length internal rail system that allows it to flush fit to the top of the bed rails. The Tool box would have to have recessed hangars to ensure that the top of the toolbox was approximately an inch below the height of the side rails... (The cover is about 5/8 of inch thick). I also think that the box hangars will interfere with the rails, and the front mounts which secure the cover to the p/u bed. The other challenge would be the folds of the cover aligning with the tool box cover. I've had a couple of these covers on various trucks, and I understand what you're trying to do... I know that BAK makes one specifically with a small Box included... Good luck!

No. This box will not fit that truck. This box is for the Super Cab trucks (extended cab) and does not fit the full four door Super Crew cab trucks.

I have this rack and was given a tool box made for a Ford super duty. I had to modify the box to fit on the rack. Box was free so I didn't mind cutting it to fit. Love the rack but superduty box may not fit.

I wouldn't. I bought the box to fit in my 13 Frontier crew cab. It was the only box that could fit under the rear bench seat without obstructing the use of the cab. It was the max size box I could use. My sub Is the Pioneer TS-SW841D fits perfect and pounds good!

I doubt it would work very well unless the liner is flat and in full contact with the trucks bed on the sides, otherwise the bracket wont be supported well enough by the self tapping screws you have to use to attach it. Also the cable holding up your tailgate prevents the box from swinging out far enough to make these boxes accessible. Im not that happy with mine to be honest

the thing that matters is the length of the pickup box........ the 42-105 I believe is the one than fits, the 5'5" bed.......... to my knowledge, regardless, the HD--- if there is such a thing might be the Z-71 package with has nothing to do with dimensions, it is just referring to the heavier suspension of their 4wheel drive vehicle--- besides an eight foot bed there is also a six foot bed--- but the 42-105- is the one for the shortest bed which is the standard length for the crew cab model...........

I don't know because we put it in a 2002 F350. I know that the tool box is adjustable and that is a big reason I got one for my husband's truck. My dad told me these boxes are great and last forever. You can transfer them from one truck to another because they are not permantly put in the truck, they can be moved and adjusted to fit different truck beds. If you need to know for sure, I would ask the seller. But my husband is very pleased with this tool box.

I think it's just to show that a pickup could be fitted should you wish it. It's a beautiful instrument, and my wife has been enjoying it very much, if that helps.

The manufacturers website states in the product description: "Fits all Full-Size pickups with 8 ft beds". So if you have a full size truck with an 8ft bed you should have no issue. This being said I do not have an 8ft bed on my pickup I have a 6ft bed. Now I also have this same box. The only issue on my chevy is that the back of the box rests slightly on the wheel wells. This to me did not cause any problem with mounting, cosmetic, functionality or other issues. So if you have a short bed you might want to take a little more time to look at this, measure and do some research before you make a large purchase you are unsure about. You might want to consult the manufacturer also with your specific truck model. I think it is a great box I mounted it within minutes by myself and paid less from Amazon than any other retailer I could find.

Probably because a ridgeline is not a real truck. It's bed rails are angled not straight so how can the mount the bars on it? Oh wait you can't!

The shallow mount will most likely have a smaller magnet on the back for truck style boxes. A smaller magnet can make less bass regardless it's power handling capabilities. But you can fit it in really small boxes.

I have this box in my 2013 Silverado crew cab and couldn't be happier. I am glad when looking for a box I decided on this brand. Yes, you can get less expensive boxes but this box is worth the extra money. If you would like to see it installed you can see it here https://www.flickr.com/photos/99682631@N06/

IT sounds to me like you got the wrong part. send it back. check part# and box. you probably got a step for conventional pick up!!!!!

I don't think it will work. I put this box in my 1999 f350 crew cab, and it was very tight.

I really don't know but being me, If the unit fits I'd make it happen. More power with the right speakers to here over the motor, I would go for it.When I mounted it I made my own mount to install the box. I have it on a motorcycle, so to keep the wires some what hidden I add holes in the bottom. I've driven in the rain and had it sit out side all night in the rain (that sucked) no problems. Good luck!
