When people install truck bed tool boxes like the part # UWS08298 in the bed of trucks like your Tacoma normally holes are drilled through the floor of the box and the truck bed and hardware is ran through both which secures it. We have this as an install kit # UWS08353 as well. This is a locking tool box that would be very secure against thieves. It will fit under you tonneau cover easily as well.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
