Received from the seller quickly and in good condition, good packaging.I can't say I'm real impressed with the toolbox, but it is OK. I have it put together as wide as possible, and it only fits on the rail about 1/16 - 1/8". Not sure how long it will stay on the bed without falling off. Also, the self tapping screws that go into the thin aluminum box strip out very easily - do not overtighten. Holes did not line up correctly on two of the 8 screws, and they stripped out almost immediately. It is not very heavy duty, so I wouldn't expect to put a lot of weight in it. It was also very difficult to line the cover back up straight on the truck after installing the box - lots of trial fits to get it even again.
It also makes the cover stick up a little, raising the seal up on the sides around the box - not sure how waterproof it will be yet, but it might be ok.
Install is not as simple as it seems, you will need to loosen the cover at the front to slip a very small amount of the bracket underneath. The problem is, once it is installed, getting your arm back in to tighten the cover down again is very difficult, almost impossible.
I don't see me keeping this long term. My cover is one year old, and is already showing signs of wear around the rubber hinges and I don't open it hardly at all. With the tool box, I will be folding it much more to access the box. Too bad they couldn't figure out how to move it towards the back as an option. Folding the top all the way back is too heavy for my wife to do, and it needs to be folded all the way to the front to access the tool box.
As far as folding out of the way, it folds even with the back end of the cover. I can't see me ever folding it for storage, because I'd have to clean everything out of the box first. It would also be damaged easily if something slams into it from the bed. It is not made to remove easily.
Overall, it seems to fit it's purpose, as a light duty storage area (I hesitate to say tool box). On the other hand, it wasn't that expensive, and does look nice. I just wish it would slide to the back or be easily removed as a box, and be a little more durable.
