OP There_Ya_Go Campfire Regular T Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 2,693 Likes: 1 Pocosin Country	I have just bought a 2013 Silverado, need to buy a tool box for it. Prefer a low-profile model. What brand(s) do you guys find to be most durable and waterproof? Of course, looking for good value as well. Ford, Ram, and Tundra owners, feel free to chime in! Thanks. The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

If you looking for low profile, chest types are also an option. seems several brands come from Perry, Florida. I guess one company's hands went seperate ways years ago. 72" low profile. $400 at walmart of all places.

The weatherguard is too rich for my blood and the RKI is a bit of a mystery...can't determine pricing or ordering on the website. I've had UWS before with no issues, so that's likely to be my choice. The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.
