Toolbox size

I want to put a toolbox on my tacoma but I'm having trouble trying to figure out what size I need. Can someone please help me out

 

I have a shortbed so I went with a somewhat small one. Only 12 of lost bed space. http://www.lowes.com/pd_67697-76354-73014036_0__ I painted it black.

 

Thats the one I was looking at yesterday at Lowe's and the guy working there went out to measure my bed(from outside the rails) and it was almost 65in. He said the 61 would be to short and the 69 would be to long.

 

This is the one I have ...

Best pic I have in my gallery, but you can see it fits. Can't remember why I took this one; must've had something to do with BackRack clearance. It comes to the middle of the side rails.

 

Most tacoma beds are the same size right?

 

Only difference is 5' vs 6' to my knowledge. Widths are the same.

I don't know what the guy was talking about; chances are neither does he.

 

So I would be alright with the 62 in from lowes?

 

My uws is 63''

 

Mine is 63" but I rounded to 64 cause it was a little over 63

 

62 will be fine. Mine doesn't come all the way to the outside edge of the bed. It sits maybe an inch from the edge.

Alright thanks guys!! gonna go get it today!

 

Here's a pic; measured from driver side outside bedrail edge.

 

Thats a little wider than my bed.

 

i might have been a little over on the other side. By myself eyeballing it from the passenger side. I'm certain this box will fit your truck. You can carry it from the store and tell in the parking lot.

It barely fits but my friend made it work by drilling different holes in it.

 

Has anyone done a 61.5?

 

Looks like me and you are searching for the same product. I can’t seem to find much straight answers on the 3rd gen

 

So I went with the 62” (61.5) Kobalt low profile from Lowe’s. Fits great! Definitely get the Dee Zee tie downs from Amazon. I used 2 in each side to secure it.
