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 two locking paddle handles and guide plates. The locking handles deter theft of your belongings and are operated with the provided keys. The drop down doors include safety stop chains to prevent the doors from falling into the sides of your truck and causing damage. To close the tool box, simply push the reinforced doors upward.

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??

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.

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.

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.
by: KJ05/15/2017
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.

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.

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.

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 !!
by: Michael A.04/22/2017
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: sfoote08/16/2016
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.

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.
