Specs:
UWS Slim Line Series offers full-size features for smaller truck beds by using the limited space in front of the wheel well. The toolbox sits along the truck bed 4" above the rails, fitting snugly behind the cab. The insulated, beveled, single lid opens to a full 90 degrees with the help of two super-duty lift cylinders, which raise the lid and hold it open as you load and unload your gear. The divided tool tray provides additional storage for smaller items, ensuring that they are readily available.

Today were going to review part number UWS00278. This is the UWS truck bed toolbox. It is the narrow crossover style and it is the slim line. This crossover saddle style toolbox will hang from the truck bed rails behind the cab. Its made from an aluminum construction. It has fully welded seams which will guarantee not to rust.
It does use two stainless steel paddle latches that you just pull up on and it will release the lid to open. It does have a stainless steel lock on the driver side that includes two keys. Basically, if you just turn the key a quarter of a turn, itll lock the latches from opening and protect your contents of your toolbox. Another nice feature, its probably going to be a little hard to see but theres a connecting rod that connects the two latches so you just need to open one and youll open the both of them. On the inside, that connecting rod is exposed and to keep it from being exposed or getting damaged, they put a connecting rod enclosure which will prevent anything in here from hitting that rod and bending it or jamming it.
Its a nice feature also. The lid is a beveled lid. The edges are beveled. It features a patented foam filled lid which will provide insulation and protection from the elements. It is also a structural foam which will reinforce the shape and strength of the lid.
On the inside is a dust barrier that goes around the whole inside of the lid so that when you close it, that dust barrier will help protect the contents inside your toolbox from the outside elements. On each end is a heavy-duty gas cylinder, which will help lift the lid and hold it open a full 90 degrees. As you can see, if you start to open this, pretty much the cylinder will push it up the rest of the way. This lid is attached to the toolbox by a full-length piano hinge, which is a nice feature. It will give a nice structural rigidity to the lid so that when you open and close it on one end, itll do it equally.
It does contain a divided tray. Its an aluminum tray that you can put small parts in. Itll slide back and forth on the inside. It does also come with the J bolt installation hardware, which is included. This part is made in the USA. Ill give you a few dimensions on this. The overall length on this box is 60 inches. The width is 12 inches and the total height is 9 inches. Now when you do close this lid, that will add about an inch to those dimensions. The interior capacity is a 3.2 cubic feet of usable space. This box is built with a .063 aluminum tread plate construction and this is where it sits on the truck bed rails. Actually, it will sit about 4 inches above the truck bed rails. This part does come with a one-year warranty. That should do it for our review of part number UWS00278.
Box was as easy as they said to install no damage from delivery got here super fast ordered it Sunday night and it arrived Thurs morning all in all very very happy with the service
THE BLACK TOOL BOX LOOKS AWESOME ON MY TOYOTA TRUCK - VERY PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE, BECAUSE IF COULD NOT FIND ONE LOCALLY. THANKS...
Packaged nicely, easy to order and install. Great product, great price.
Toolbox arrived in good condition and fit exactly how I hoped it would.
Truck Tool BoxExactly what I was looking for. Service and ease of ordering was outstanding. Looking forward to dealing w/etrailer again!
I’m a forester and it holds everything I need everyday. Small and compact and works like a charm. Keeps plenty of room available in a 5 foot bed.
It definitely fits the truck better. The only thing I don't like are the hydraulics - they are WAAAY too stiff - it takes a herculean effort to close the lid.
This Slim Line Series - 6.3 cu ft works very good with the side boxes on both sides of the truck. Have access to open from standing on the side of the pickup truck with the side boxes installed. Makes a nice combination for a pickup truck Installed on a 2022 F-150 6'5" bed.
Seems like a great product. Heavier sheet metal than others I looked at. Lid and latches seem solid.
Gotta love etrailer. Unit arrived earlier than expected and packaged well with no damage. Service was awesome.
This tool box was a little tricky to install. I had a professional mechanic help me. It is now properly installed and looks great on my truck. I was so happy to discover that a slimline toolbox was indeed available. My crew cab Tacoma only as has a five-foot bed. A larger tool box would have left me with only about 3.5 feet of bed. This slimline box allowed me to retain four feet of bed, which fits my needs. Very fine box. Good workmanship. I am very pleased with it and would recommend it to others who need a slimline design.
its rather small but it does the job
