There is a familiar, tragic lifecycle to the traditional truck bed tool box. You buy a shiny, diamond-plated aluminum tub, bolt it to your bed rails, and within a few short years, it becomes a bent, rattling, rusted parasite that barely opens and refuses to lock.
At The Coolector, we have a deep appreciation for gear that solves long-standing problems with uncompromising engineering, which is why the all-new DECKED Tool Box has completely captured our attention.

Billed as the most rugged and durable truck bed tool box ever constructed, this American-made marvel is here to permanently retire that tired metal eyesore holding your truck back.

The secret to this tool box’s near-mythical durability lies entirely in its material construction. Rather than relying on thin, easily dented metals, DECKED engineered this box from a compression-molded, glass-fiber reinforced Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) resin. If that sounds like something pulled from aerospace manufacturing, you are not far off.

This advanced composite is lighter than aluminum but possesses the brute strength of steel. It boasts incredible thermal stability and absolutely refuses to dent, rust, crack, or fade, regardless of how much punishment it takes on the job site or the trail.

We are talking about a tub that can casually support an astonishing 800 pounds of payload inside, while the lid can comfortably hold another 300 pounds on top. DECKED skipped the steel body on purpose to give you an element-proof stronghold where the only metal you will find is within the robust gas struts and essential locking mechanisms.

Of course, a tool box is only as good as its ability to protect the gear inside. With a steel-reinforced lid, an over-engineered lid-to-tub interface, and highly secure tamper-resistant locks, thieves are going to need a lot more than a crowbar to get past this fortress.

Furthermore, DECKED has implemented a moisture-defying H2Zero Gasket that ensures the interior is 100% weatherproof. Whether you are blasting through torrential rain, heavy sleet, or an aggressive automatic car wash, your expensive power tools and sensitive equipment stay perfectly bone dry.

What truly elevates this design from a heavy-duty vault to a joy to use on a daily basis is the clever functionality. Anyone who works with their hands knows the frustrating struggle of trying to access a tool box while carrying a heavy load. DECKED solves this issue with a brilliant no-handed opening system.

Simply bump the oversized START button with your elbow or shoulder, and the innovative D-link gas strut system takes over, opening the lid smoothly and automatically without you ever having to put your gear down. Once inside, the organization is strictly next-level.

Integrated storage trays keep your daily essentials close at hand, while built-in rails are designed to perfectly hold DECKED’s weatherproof D-co Cases. You can even add Tool Hooks to hang cords and hoses completely out of the way. If you want to take your bed setup to its absolute pinnacle, the tool box is fully compatible with CargoGlide for unparalleled accessibility.

Priced at $1099.99, this is undeniably a premium piece of equipment, but it is built to be the absolute last tool box you will ever need to buy.

Designed to fit nearly every full-size truck built from 2001 to today with an inside bed rail measurement of 61.375 to 70.5 inches, it is a versatile upgrade for almost any modern rig (with a few exceptions like Rambox setups, service bodies, the GMC CarbonPro bed, Chevy Silverado EV, Ford F-150 Heritage Edition, and Nissan Titan).

Backed by an ironclad lifetime warranty and offering free shipping straight to your door, the DECKED Tool Box is a masterclass in American manufacturing and an absolute must-have for the uncompromising truck owner.
