Tool box and Tonneau cover in one???

rsodenjr · August 30, 2016

Hi Everyone,

I am a new 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 crew cab long bed owner and new to the pickup world. I am looking for some help from you pickup vets! Is there a tool box and tonneau cover integrated unit that is affordable? I was looking at the Truck Covers USA American Work Tonneau Cover which I love because the box and cover are all one unit but the price is way outside of my comfort zone. Does anyone know of another tool box/tonneau cover unit that is more affordable? I would be much more comfortable in the $1,000-$1,500 range.

I see they make covers that attach to existing tool boxes but I am afraid that route will leak where as the all in one integrated unit should be water tight. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks!!!

Look into the Bak revolver x2 and the back box

this^^^ they're all over eBay and not too expensive, either!

I looked into the BAK revolver2 with box and it does look pretty good. Only issue I see is having to remove the cover anytime I want to access the items in the box. Not the end of the world and unless I want to spend big$ I guess I don't really have another option.

Thanks for responding, I greatly appreciate it!

I guess you could have bought a ram and gotten the ram box, and then gotten a cheapo tonneau cover.. but then you'd have have a ram.. and well.. ill just leave that one at that..

idk which tonneau cover you planned on getting, but what if you got the BAK tool box but then got one of the trifold covers, you should be able to open them from either end without removing the entire cover. My neighbor has one on his 14 that does that... not positive on the brand though

Hey the RAM box adds to the manliness of the Ram.. It keeps it one step ahead of the girlie Fords.

If I wanted a Ram box I would have put my high heels on and bought one ahahhaha! I think my problem is I want everything of the $2800 setup in a $1200 setup which isn't going to happen lol. Think I will end up going with the BAK revolver X2 and bak box, reviews are great!

Thanks for all the input!!!

If you do get the revolver, let us know what you think of it. Pictures are worth a thouand words! id like to get one as well, but need to make sure it rolls up far enough. I haul my dirt bikes in the bed and want to make sure it wont interfere. I saw a video of it with a bike but the viewing angle kinda sucked..

Jlash, I will definitely respond back once I pull the trigger. I am leaning that way as of now but not 100% and still have to get my spray bed liner done before I move forward with the tonneau cover. I also will be hauling dirtbikes and quads but I believe it will be fine since the cover rolls up over the bedrail leaving the entire bed.

Look at fold a cover! They don't have a tool box but do have a storage bin that looks like it would be useful. http://www.foldacover.com/products/tonneau-covers/g4-elite-fold-a-cover/

This one looks like the best for me. I have a 60 gallon auxiliary fuel tank in mine, and this will fit over it and allow access to the filler.

I haven't bought it yet, though. The sides of this truck are so high I don't really have much access to the bed unless I climb up into it.

Purchased mine with toolbox about 10 months- 12 months ago. The pricing should be the same. It's never leaked. Tool box isn't your normal tool box. It's more of a tool bin that fits under the cover. So that could be a deal breaker if you already have a bed tool box. This cover pretty much makes your whole bed a tool box though. They are American made in Ohio.

SE is $1100

HD is $1499

Accessories page has the toolboxes you can add.

I have a Diamondback SE and I love it. The tool bin fits plenty of the smaller tools I carry. But having the rest of the bed waterproof and lockable is what sold me.

Alright, bed liner is being sprayed today and I decided to order the BAK Revolver X2. Soooo many nice covers out there it was tough but this seemed like the best of all worlds for me. Thanks for all of the info you all provided above, it was definitely helpful. I will let you guys know how the tonneau cover install goes once bed liner is done.
