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??

@GaryR Awesome, love to hear the box is holding up for you Gary. Ready for spring?

by: Eric 10/20/2025

It looks okay so far, have not installed it. The Dee Zee logo on the front is different than what is shown online and is plastic and pressed fit in. It is not flush and it has no retention whatsoever, meaning it will fall out quickly. I will have to remove it and plug the holes to keep it watertight. I bought this box only because of its dimensions and height so it will fit on my utility trailer. I'm not sure about the rivets used to secure the back hinge and the handle/lock. I plan to tack weld those areas to secure them. It's not perfect, but it will definitely fit my needs.

by: John S. 10/25/2016

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.

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.

It has held up great. I placed it on the front of our rv and has withstood rain, gravel, hot and cold weather and functioned perfectly.

by: Michael 03/25/2025

I like the box in general but it has a dent in the hinge/top on the left side which should have been caught. Then, I made a mistake by leaving the keys inside and while I was mounting the box the lock locked with my keys inside. I know it is my carelessness BUT when I emailed you folks to get another key I was told to call a locksmith. Pretty crappy customer service so I went on Amazon and ordered some spare keys. I probably won't recommend your product for those two reasons.

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.

by: Mary R 04/13/2020 One Year Later

Great Product. I attached it to my trailer tongue by drilling holes in the bottom and using U bolts. I cushioned it with rubber from a tire tube and protected the U bolts from the Aluminum frame and box with the rubber. Really liked the fact that it locks and is very roomy.

by: John 09/08/2019

Great box and very solid!
I am mounting it on my car hauler trailer to hold two batteries to power the winch, and trailer toung jack!
I put plywood in the bottom to protect the batteries.
I am very satisfied with the product!!!

by: Donkeyman33 02/13/2015

Product was as advertised and fit on the trailer. The square, top crank jack does interfere with the box, just as I calculated it would which means that I will have to raise it either with a block between the tongue and jack mounting base or a riser on the base of the handle. It would be nice if these would be offered to purchase since I am sure I am not the 1st with this problem.

Not as strong as expected. Thin metal dents easily. Top hinge is loose we had to drill holes and install our own hardware. This toolbox is being used on a commercial Bobcat trailer.

by: Jim 05/17/2017 One Year Later

Nice box. The plastic "Dee Zee" nameplate fell off the 2nd day, just held on with a force fit plastic thru hole.. I re-installed and added screws to keep it on.

by: Duane c. 10/04/2016

I looked at a lot of boxes before I chose this one. Look how the lid is braced not all boxes are braced making them very flimsy. This Box is quality built very solid. Just the write size to keep my tie downs for my side by side in and a few supply's . It also looks good on the trailer.

Do you have a question about this Trailer Tool Box?

What are the Dimensions of the DeeZee Specialty Series Trailer Tongue Tool Box DZ91716?
The DeeZee Specialty Series Trailer Tongue Tool Box item # DZ91716 measures 34" long in the back, 16" long in front, 14-1/4" wide and 18" tall. The lid measures 36" long in the back, is 15" wide, and adds 1" to the overall height. I got these measurements from DeeZee and have linked a diagram below.

How to Determine Correct Leaf Spring Hanger Placement for Proper Trailer Tongue Weight
To determine spring hanger placement for proper axle positioning you want to use the trailer tongue weight (TW) as a guide. The coupler at the trailer tongue is used as the reference point for the axles' positions. The coupler to axle distance will determine how much TW the trailer has and the axle positions should be chosen to keep the trailer TW in the range of 10 to 15% of the gross trailer weight. The linked article on axle positioning gives you examples. You also went to keep in...

A-Frame Trailer Box to Fit Batteries on Tongue of Trailer
The DeeZee Specialty Series Trailer Tongue Toolbox # DZ91716 may be what you're looking for. It measures 34 inches long in the back, 16 inches long in front, 14-1/4 inches wide and 18 inches tall. It's a 3.71 cubic foot box that locks and comes with two keys. Since you're going to be storing batteries in it you'll want some sort of ventilation. An idea is to install a vent like # HMAV2-AVT2 into the box. You won't have any issues fitting your batteries inside but you'll need to measure...

Toolbox Recommendation for the Front of an A-Frame Trailer
We have several toolboxes that would fit the front of your A-frame trailer. If you check out the link I attached you will see all of the ones we carry. I think the one that would fit your trailer the best would be the DeeZee Specialty Series Trailer Tongue Toolbox # DZ91716. The back side of the box is 34 inches long which would match up to your trailer well. Check out the review video I attached for this box as well.

Installation of DeeZee Trailer Tongue Tool Box # DZ91716
The DeeZee Trailer Tongue Tool Box does not feature pre drilled holes, but the included sheet metal screws can be used to secure the box to the trailer tongue. The instructions call for 3/16 inch holes to be drilled through the bottom of the box into the trailer frame. Make sure you avoid any wires that might be running along the trailer frame. You can see the installation instructions by clicking the provided link. You could use u-bolts if you wish.

Will a 20LB Propane Tank Fit Inside The DeeZee Trailer Tongue Tool Box?
You will want to consider the larger DeeZee Tongue Box # DZ91717 as the DeeZee Specialty Series Trailer Tongue Tool Box # DZ91716 you found is not large enough to transport a 20lb propane tank upright. With a typical 20lb propane tank being around 12" in diameter and 18" tall this is the same height as the box you found. The larger Box # DZ91717 is 22" tall allowing for a tank to fit inside the box.

A-Frame Storage Box Recommendation for a Trailer
For an A-frame box I would recommend the DeeZee Specialty Series Trailer Tongue Toolbox # DZ91716. This will mount to the front of your trailer and will provide you with 3.71 cubic feet of storage space. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

A-Frame Cargo Box With Dimensions to Accommodate 2 20-lb Propane Tanks
Typically a 20 gallon propane tank measure 18 inches tall by 12.5 inches in diameter. Because of that you instead would want the part # DZ91717 which is a bit bigger than the part # DZ91716 so it would have the needed height to accommodate the propane tanks.

Recommendation for Lightweight 14" Wide Trailer A-Frame Toolbox
I do have a great solution for you, however we don't have a smaller (in terms of width) plastic A-Frame Trailer Toolbox. Since weight is a concern with the steel options, I recommend considering an aluminum box such as the DeeZee # DZ91716, which provides 3.71 cubic feet of storage space but measures just 14-1/4" wide. The lightweight aluminum construction keeps the weight of this unit down to just 26 pounds, which is just a few pounds heavier than the plastic boxes you were looking at....

The linked page will let you see all boxes and the filters on the page allow you to narrow the results shown based on your preferred type, material, brand and color.

Toolbox Recommendation to Fit Generator that Measures 11 in Wide, 17-1/4 in Tall, and 20 in Long
The DeeZee A-Frame tool box you'd need is the part # DZ91717 instead due to the height of your generator and the box you mentioned being too short. This box would easily fit your generators dimensions though. Overall dimensions: 34" long (back) x 20-3/4" long (front) x 19" wide x 22-3/4" tall

Is DeeZee # DZ91716 Trailer A-Frame Mounted Toolbox Strong Enough to Stand On
The DeeZee # DZ91716 is constructed of .056 aluminum tread plate. Due to the fact that the box isn't very large, the box is pretty rigid but I wouldn't recommend standing on it. We offer another similar box from RC Industries, part # 350970 that's constructed of thicker aluminum tread plate (.072), but they don't recommend standing on it either. We do indeed ship to Canada. If you'd care to see a product description video for either box, click the provided links.
