$699 Bombproof Toolbox With a Folding Ladder Is Exactly What Your Truck Needs

Whether it’s for work or leisure, if you depend on your truck, there’s never enough room to organize your stuff properly. You used up all the available storage compartments long ago, so the only solution is to improvise by spreading the rest of your stuff throughout the cabin. Despite that, you still end up not finding the right tool when you need it the most.

This is where the storage experts at Decked lend a helping hand with their new Truck Tool Box. It’s easy to fit, durable, compatible with most trucks on the market, and even comes with its own retractable step ladder.

"As a brand rooted in creating innovative solutions for working men and women, the Truck Tool Box was a natural evolution for Decked," said the company's general manager, Jake Peters. "Between updated, more durable materials and simple, creative features like the integrated ladder and a more secure locking system, we brought the traditional toolbox into the 21st century."

Able to endure a lot of punishment without the slightest dents or punctures, the toolbox is manufactured using high-impact, injection-molded polymer ASA and HDPE resins. Metal components are made from anti-corrosion steel and aluminum, which should extend the product’s lifespan.

It’s also waterproof, so it can be used all year long, regardless of the weather, and you don’t have to worry about leaving it unattended thanks to the armored locking system and the reinforced steel lid it’s fitted with.

The most useful addition is the retractable step ladder made from high-quality aluminum that will make your day a lot easier by eliminating the need to climb in and out of the truck bed. It uses a heavy-duty folding system that is easy to use, even while wearing gloves.

It comes as an optional accessory when you purchase the Truck Tool Box but is well worth the extra dollars considering how much hassle it saves. It will also be available for purchase separately, on Decked’s official website.

It might be a little disappointing to learn that the ladder is not included in the base price, but the company does offer something extra for free, in the form of a smaller D-Box. It’s a modular tool and gear organization system that will come in handy and fits into the dedicated mounts incorporated inside the unit.

The storage capacity varies slightly depending on the truck. For a Ford F-150 with a short, standard, or 8' bed, manufactured from 2001 to the current model, it stands at 9.82 cubic feet (278 liters).

It’s also worth mentioning that it won’t be compatible with the Decked Drawer System if you have one installed and the bed length of your truck is short (5'6") or standard (6'6").

The Truck Tool Box is available for an MSRP of $699, and if you’re willing to include the ladder, it will go up to $875. All toolboxes are built in the U.S., come preassembled, are easy to fit onto any truck, and benefit from a 3-year warranty.
