Specs:
You will enjoy how much the sleek look of UWS's Low Profile Series complements the latest designs of today's trucks. The toolbox sits just 2" above the truck bed rails instead of the standard 4," providing a better view out the back window for maneuvering or keeping an eye on your load. The insulated, beveled, single lid opens fully to 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. Smaller items and tools can be stored conveniently on the divided, sliding tray, ensuring they are readily available for use.

Today, we're going to review part number UWS00378. This is the UWS Truck Bed Toolbox. This is the crossover style single and it is the low-profile series style. This crossover saddle style toolbox will hang from your truck bed rails right behind the cab. It is a low profiled design which will make it easier for you to see out the rear window. This toolbox is built of an aluminum construction with fully welded seams which are guaranteed not to rust.
They do use the heavy duty stainless steel paddle latches, one on each side, and there's a stainless steel lock on the driver's side. This toolbox is finished with a black powder coat finish which is your best base finish if you're going to paint the toolbox to match the color of your truck. On the inside, there is a connecting rod enclosure, and what that is is when you pull up on these paddle handles, as you can see it operates both handles and that's because there's a connecting rod connecting them. Well, they have an enclosure that will cover this connecting rod, and what's nice about that is it will keep anything that's rolling around inside your toolbox from hitting up against that connecting rod and bending it or damaging it. If that had happened, you wouldnt be able to open or close your lid so they have a nice enclosure that protects that connecting rod.
It does have a beveled lid so there are no sharp edges on it. The lid is a patented fully foamed lid which will create a rigid wall between the outer aluminum layers to help prevent bending or warping. It is a structural foam which will reinforce the shape and the strength of the lid. One the inside, there is a foam gasket on the length and the width all the way around and this gasket will help prevent dust or any of the outside elements from getting to the inside of your toolbox. On each end, there is a heavy duty gas cylinder which will help you lift the lid.
As you can see, as you pull up on it, it will actually pull it up the rest of the way, and it does hold it open in a full 90 degrees. Also, the whole full length of the lid, there is a piano hinge which will run the full length and that will help when you push your lid to close it and open it. It will keep it level on even. On the inside, there is a divided three-compartment sliding tray. It also comes with the J hook or J bull installation hardware which allows it to install onto your truck bed.
This part is made in the USA. Also on the inside, there are integrated tool trays, one on the end here and one on the end down there. Then also right on here in the side, they do have a built-in screwdriver holder and it adds extra strength and rigidity to the box. Basically, they're right here. It's probably hard to see it because it's black, but there are also holes drilled in there where we can just insert the screwdriver and to hold the screwdrivers in place. I do want to give you a few dimensions on this toolbox. The overall length, 63 inches, and the overall width is 19-1/4 inches. The height is 13-1/2 inches. Now, if you do want those dimensions with the lid closed, all you would have to do is just add an inch to all those dimensions if you need clearance where the lid closed. The inside has a 6.9 cubic feet of usable space and, again, the whole toolbox is constructed of a 0.063 aluminum tread plate. Because it's low profile, you can see where it sits on the bed rails. It only sits 2 inches above the truck bed rails. I just want to show you with it closed. You pull up on the paddle handle that will open it up. If you close it, turn the key a quarter of a turn. That will lock the handle and it keeps anybody from getting inside. Turn it to open it and it will allow you to open it up. That should do it for our review on part number UWS00378.

Great service..quick delivery & exactly what I wanted for my new truck!
It was delivered just like you said it was on time, it was packaged very well and the product came in great condition perfect.
Top of the line service and product. Very happy with entire transaction. One year later box still looks and performs like new. Thanks
Everything fit as advertised . This is a good heavy duty well built product.
Good looking toolbox. Sturdy and good quality.
The truck box is a good looking truck box but that’s about all the good I can say about it. The striker for the latch continuously came loose causing the lid not to latch completely and the top to come open going down the road. I fixed this by putting loctite on the nuts holding the striker in place. The gaskets along the lid have completely turned loose and are no longer there. The keys never worked from the first day. Overall not very satisfied with the quality of the box for the price.
Awesome package, looks great, fits perfect. Delivery time excellent
I highly recommend etrailer for any trailer or truck parts. I have never worked with anyone that was as knowledgeable and helpful. The process was flawless. Further, after I made my order, they followed up and let me know several times how the order and shipment was progressing.
Fast and friendly service.
Been happy with my purchase. I gave it 4/5 stars because it arrived with a dent on the lid that I was able to remove with a rubber mallet and a 2x4. The metal inside reflects poor workmanship. There are some sharp edges near the latch mechanism that I discovered firsthand after reaching in there. Aside from those issues it has functioned well and I find the dual lid release latches are convenient.
When I purchased the toolbox I forgot to mention that I have a bed liner in my vehicle. Therefore I had to put a 3/4 inch spacer on the top bed rails so the bottom of the toolbox would clear the bed liner over the wheel wells and fuel tank spout. Other then that I really have enjoyed the toolbox and have gotten many compliments as well.
Toolbox came as advertised. Perfect fit in truck bed. Sturdy and well built. Easy to install. Exactly what I was expecting
I was so happy to get this for my son. The only one i could find that would fit his ranger at the time. he uses it every day and it works great after one year. packaging , no scratches, and installed so easy that i went and bought me one. would recommend. sorry not much for technology or i would have added photos.
The tool box works great. Works for what we needed and is low profile.
I've had this tool box for about a year. Its held up well without issue. This replaced a 9 year old tool box from Lowes that cracked at the bed support. So far so good on this one. The locking and opening mechanism works great and is covered so things dont bind it up. The only strange thing is that after a windy snow storm there was snow inside the tool box and I hadn't driven anywhere.
Here is a picture of the tool box I ordered, installed on my truck.
The toolbox arrived on time, but unfortunately, there was a dent in the middle. It's clear that the damage occurred during delivery. While the toolbox looks great, I'm currently stuck with a unusable toolbox. I've reached out to etrailer, but haven't received a quick resolution. I believe it would be fair for them to send me a replacement at a discounted price, considering the time lost and the inconvenience. Currently, I have a boxed up toolbox that I can't use, waiting for a return label and a new replacement.
nice box looks like in was made for the truck, only thing the tray sliding back and forth but a piece of tape fix that, also light enough to get in and out by myself
