Do you need more than just a lid for your truck bed? The Stowe 2-in-1 tonneau cover and toolbox system was created just for you. We studied the concerns of experienced tonneau cover users—especially fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailer owners—and reinvented what a state-of-the-art cargo management system could be.

Where to Put Your Gear

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

Choosing the Best Toolbox

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

• Packaging clearancesTrailer 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 toolboxFifth-wheel hitch plate and handle to the face of the toolbox
• 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?

A Breakthrough Solution

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.

STOWE TOOLBOX EXTERIOR DIMENSIONS

Cover height above the truck box rails = 1.75 in.

Cover width = 24 in.

Distance the rear face extends into the truck box = 21 in. rearward from the inside face of the headboard

The upper flange, which carries the perimeter seals for the front and rear covers, extends back 26 in., but occupies only a small area at the top of the box

The toolbox sits above the truck bed floor by 4.5 in. – 5 in. to fully utilize floorspace
