The DeeZee Way
DeeZee's commitment to "add more life to your truck" is reflected in the design of this Specialty Series topsider tool box, which boasts the same features as the Yellow Label tool boxes, including several that will make your life easier and maximize the life of your tool box.
Designed for Durability
One piece of Brite-Tread aluminum with welded ends makes up the body of this tool box. By minimizing the amount of welding that goes into the box's construction, DeeZee diminishes the opportunity for cracks and leaks to form, thereby reducing the risk of tool box corrosion and damage to your stored items. A C-channel and bulb seal offer additional protection from water, and a hidden hinge runs the length of the box, deterring theft.
Easy Opening and Closing
This Specialty Series tool box comes with one locking t-handle latch. The locking handle deters theft of your belongings and is operated with the provided keys. The drop down door includes safety stop chains to prevent the door from falling into the side of your truck and causing damage. To close the tool box, simply push the reinforced door upward.

Today were going to review part number DZ70. This is the DeeZee Specialty Series Truck Bed Toolbox. This is the top sider style. This toolbox is designed to mount along and sit on top of your side rails of your truck bed. Its made of a rust proof bright tread aluminum construction. It is a rectangular top sider style which is ideal for storage in your truck bed and for use with other toolboxes.
When you open it up this drop down door, as you can see, provides easy access to cargo while youre standing alongside your truck and have the stop chains, one on each here that will prevent the door from hitting the side of your truck. It does have the stiffeners right here which will provide rigidity to reinforce the door. It does have this locking stainless steel paddle handle with the guide plate on the inside that will provide security for your belongings. It does come with two keys to lock it. You just turn it half a turn.
The handle will still open, but it will prevent it from opening up, so its locked into place. To unlock it just turn it half a turn and the handle will turn and allow it to open up. It does come with the two keys for the lock. This is a secure weather resistant storage unit for your truck that has a one piece front, back and bottom and then the weld that ends right here provide matching strength and durability. It does have a piano hinge as you can see here that runs the full length of the lid.
This hidden hinge will run the length of the box and will help give stability and rigidity to this lid. It has a water tight C channel right here that goes all the way around and this foam bulb seal to prevent water from getting inside the box and damaging anything you have on the inside. This is a very simple installation. It does come with the mounting brackets. There are four mounting brackets and the foam tape to help seal and protect and also all the screws, washers and nuts to attach it to your truck.
It does have a clear powder coat finish and it is made in the USA. The interior capacity on this toolbox is 5.33 cu ft. It does have a limited lifetime warranty. Just a few dimensions on this, the overall length on this box is 48 inches. The width is 12 inches and the overall height is 16 inches. That should do it for the review on part number DZ70 the DeeZee Specialty Series Truck Bed Toolbox in the top sider style.

I needed a tool box for the deckover trailer with 16" wheels that I haul my yard service equipment on. The trailer is much lower than most commercial rigs(with 22.5") wheels and this was the only one that I could find that fit. It seems to be made as well as the bigger boxes and is light for its size. It has done everything that I need it to do and done it well for a year already.
Good tool box. Easy to install.
I use this on my custom teardrop trailer and I really like this tongue box.
One year later, this is holding up well. The only thing is that the lock hinge started to show a little rust almost right away, but it hasn't progressed too much. It was a little disappointing though.
That said, I love that this has a padlock instead of having to use yet-another small key (I already have 3 just for my teardrop). It wasn't something I considered originally but figured out as soon as I put my combo lock on it.
I do really like this tongue box. It was the perfect addition to my teardrop build.
Boxes arrived in 3-4 days. I got used ones and was very happy I didn’t pay the full price. They work fine just a few dinges. I painted the inside white to see tools easier. The boxes are aluminum, seems very light duty. I wouldn’t step on top of it. When you close the top, the sides flex when pressure is put on the latch. I would have preferred a heavy steel, but needed a small box for the location and this was the only one I could find. For an ATV it might work ok. Overall pretty happy- I just installed so we’ll see how they hold up over time. Next time I would look for a heavy steel one. I paid for 2 used ones the price of one new... to me a new one would not be worth the price they are asking... just too light duty.
The DeeZee tongue box has been an ok box for storing all my off-road gear for my RZR and trailer items. Haven't had any water leaks or problems. Latch and lock have worked correctly. I mounted it on the tongue of my Aluma utility trailer that I use to haul my RZR. Most of the gear I have stored in it is pretty light weight. This box seems to be lite weight constructed; not sure how it would do for heavy items. One year using it and it still works and looks good on my trailer. This review template would not upload my photos??
I luv this thing... I use the fuel tank all the time.. the large capacity is awesome.. the toolbox is fantastic for capacity n the ease to reach.. U will not find a better combo on market today!
First, I like it a lot. There is lots of room inside, it meets my needs and I would buy it again because I think it is a very good value! Cons, Steel latch which means 3 months outside and it is already rusting. (I will eventually replace with a marine grade.) The unit is very strong on the outer sides, but not so much in the middle. I am 200 lbs and can stand on the outer sides of it, but I would not try to do so in the middle. (Note - Manufacturer does NOT recommend standing on it at all and I am not suggesting you do!) Depending on your specific trailer frame and what you intend to put in the tool box you may need to add some bottom support. You can see where I added a support bar in the front. If I was doing this mount over again, I would add a support or 2 in the middle because a couple of spare axle hubs and a bottle jack are causing it to sag significantly.
Well made box. Mounting hardware is woefully in adequate
Packaging is minimal and caused a slight dent.
Tool boxes work great .they hold all my roofing equipment . Leaving the bed of truck for hauling supplies . An the cab of the truck for hauling the crew .thank you so much for these boxes .
i returned the brackets and fashioned my own since one size didn't fit all.
the aluminum cargo bays (one on each side) are a great addition- glad i got them they are very handy and always in use.
heres a beauty shot of our caravan, passenger side, featuring a 5ft. dee zee cargo bay
Fits 2 group 31 batteries with room to spare. High quality box that looks and works great. The box does not come with battery hold downs, which I prefer because I could mount the batteries any way I wanted.
Phenomenal product, great fit for my job trailer and allows the crew to stand on it if it is necessary to reach the top of the trailer from the front.
Save me a lot when I look for lowest price fuel.
Utility box on my camper. This will be a great place to store power cord,water hoses and blocks and a lot easier to get too.
Seems like a solid lightweight box. The latch and locking mechanism are solid and the hinge is reinforced which is nice. I also like that the gas strut for the lid has a sleeve so if any gear shifts it won't interfere or damage the strut.
great tool box. I actually had put in speakers. And mounted it to the rear end of my atv I will submit photos as well.
Product does excatly what I want it to do Houses my propane Tanks and Battery with room to spare. Hopfully they won't get stollen again...
Nice box neatly welded and door sealed great and the brackets for this box fit perfect,thanks etrailer
I bought a scratch and dent So I can’t give five star. It came as described with dents on the lid. But it still works fine.
Excellent product and etrailer is my ONLY go to shop for all my trailer/business needs !!
Wish I knew how to download and send a picture to show my unique application. Mine is mounted on the front of an enclosed trailer and has a battery box installed inside, with room still to carry other essentials. I also plumed in tubing and wiring for a light switch and bright light. The box looks great, fit perfect, works perfect, and I love it. Thank You ETRAILER for a great product.
Very very well built. Excellent fit and finish. I needed a trailer toolbox with these particular dimensions so I bought this underbody box, but I mounted it like a chest (door facing straight up) and it has met my needs perfectly. We don't get a lot of rain in NM so water getting into the chest through the recessed handle area isn't a concern with it mounted in this orientation...plus the trailer is stored inside most of the time.
