Tonneau cover with toolbox

blacksvt · July 20, 2014

Im looking for a roll up style tonneau that will work with my toolbox. I tow a camper and it would be nice to keep stuff dry in the bed. I really like the looks of the hard fold up covers, but don't want to lose anymore bed space.

It looks like there are several available, but wanted to see what works the best. Looking for any advice on this before I order one.

Thanks!

I have a Truxedo LoPro QT cover with their new TonneauMate toolbox underneath. really like this setup. no clue the toolbox is under the tonneau

You might want to check out the truck owned by block8head. He has a tonneau cover and a normal truck box. He has several pictures on here and posts a lot.

I have a Bak Flip VP that has a hidden Bakbox underneath. Hope this helps.

How do you like the bakbox? I am thinking about going with the bak roll-x...

I like it because I don't have a need for a big truck box, but it keeps all of the seldom used stuff out of the cab. And it does't use up all of the bed as it has room below to allow use of the bed for a small load of lumber or to haul a ladder at full length. You can empty it and it folds up to allow full use of the bed. Best of all, no one knows its there!

howd you like the cover itself? looking to possibly get this one and was wondering how the opening system lasted after long use, that is if you had it for a long time.

I like it a lot as well. Had it since Sep. 2013 and put it on myself. No water leaks and it has held up good. I had an F1 on my 2011 Silverado and it held up well too. I thought the VP was a nice look since it looks like one piece and the hinges are hidden. The F1 is much more heavy duty and the hinges are exposed. Check them out at bakindustries.com.

My American Truck Cover Jr. arrives next week. It has a smaller tool box that bolts on top of the canister. They also have a full sized toolbox with the canister built in. Check them out and I will post pictures once I have it installed.
