I have recently aquired a 2022 2500 6.7 Cummins 6'4" Bed with the fifth wheel/gooseneck prep package and have a couple questions about toolboxes. Some generic, some brand specific.
I have narrowed it down to 2; Decked and Weather Guard, and thank you to everyone in advance for your answers.
1.) With the Fifth wheel prep package and the 6'4" bed, how much of the front pucks will be covered/unusable with a crossover toolbox? im generally worried about the bed space with the 6'4" bed
2.) In addition to the question above, will i still be able to pull a flatbed gooseneck and a gooseneck horse trailer with either box?
3.) If Decked, ive heard that the lid ends up not closing as well as the Weather Guard. is this true?
4.) How does the HDPE hold up to the aluminum in general?
5.) I like idea of Weather Guard's low profile box for more space under the toolbox, how useful is this over the standard depth?
6.) I still would like access to the rear sliding window. How much of a difference would the coverage of the rear window be for the slider and how much would the rear view mirror be compromised with either box.
7.) I do not plan on putting many tools in the box. it is mainly for extra storage for camping trips and gear and general tools for offroading trips when i tow my fiances jeep to the offroad park. Which box in general would be better for this?
I know its alot to ask but its a big investment for me and i want to choose right. Any additional points to add will be much appreciated.
I also have factory whel to wheel steps so the ladder in the Decked isnt a deal breaker for me since i can just use the steps.
