It holds 8.6ft³ and measures 73\" long by 20\" wide by 16.5\" tall overall. The tub measures 62\" long by 17\" wide by 11.75\" deep. A single RigidCore lid opens on two lockable twist handles, and the connecting rod between them lets you open the box from whichever side you happen to be standing on. The low-profile lid keeps the box sitting about 2\" lower on the bed rail than a standard-profile UWS box, which matters if you want to keep the rear window clear or you run a cab-height rack. This is the Secure Lock version, which swaps the usual paddle latches for two lockable twist handles and adds a removable BedRug liner to the tub floor. A welded lid rail runs the length of the lid, giving you a real anchor point for strapping ladders, pipe or lumber on top of the box rather than over it. Every UWS crossover box uses the patented RigidCore lid, which is a one-piece aluminum shell filled with solid foam so it resists the bending and warping that turns a cheap lid into a lid that no longer seals, and a MicroSeal gasket runs the full perimeter to keep water, dust and road grit out of your tools. The matte black powder coat is applied over the same 0.058\" one-piece aluminum shell as the bright boxes, so you get the color without giving up corrosion resistance. Like the rest of the UWS tool box range, this model is designed, fabricated and welded in Florida.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS SL-72-LP-MB-R 72\" crossover truck tool box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable BedRug tub liner, fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDivider tray (the sliding tool tray)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo rail pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 3\" J-hooks with 1\/4\" washers and nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS installation manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\" style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wd-S85epv5g\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatented RigidCore Foam-Filled Lid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lid is a one-piece aluminum shell filled with solid structural foam rather than left hollow. That is what stops it flexing when someone stands on it or when a load shifts against it, and it is why the gasket keeps sealing after years of use instead of leaking once the lid has taken a set. UWS shows the cutaway in its own product photography and puts the lid up against a power saw in its published strength test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicroSeal Gasket Around the Full Perimeter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA MicroSeal gasket runs the entire way around the tub opening, compressed by the weight of the RigidCore lid. It is the difference between a box that keeps power tools dry through a winter of road spray and one that collects an inch of water in the corner. UWS publishes a mud and pressure-washer test of this seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecure Lock Twist Handles, Lockable From Either Side\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstead of the usual recessed paddle latches, this box uses two lockable twist handles, one on each side. A connecting rod ties them together inside the box, so you can lock or unlock and open from the driver side or the passenger side without walking around the truck. The handles sit proud of the diamond plate and are easy to work in gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemovable BedRug Liner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tub floor comes lined with a removable BedRug mat. It stops tools sliding and banging around on aluminum, takes most of the rattle out of a loaded box on a rough road, and lifts straight out so you can shake the sawdust and metal shavings out of it rather than scraping the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterior Rod Enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lock rods that run from the handles to the latches are carried inside an enclosed channel rather than left exposed in the tub. Cargo sliding around cannot bend them, and nobody can reach in and lever them out of position. It is a small detail that is the usual failure point on cheaper boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLid Self-Closes for One-Handed Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lid opens a full 90 degrees for loading and then self-closes under control, so the box can be worked with one hand. UWS builds the Secure Lock line this way on purpose: the lid comes down on its own rather than being dropped, which is what you want on a box that sits at chest height on a full-size truck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e0.058\" One-Piece Aluminum Tub\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tub is formed from a single sheet of 0.058\" aluminum, which is meaningfully thicker than the 0.045\" to 0.050\" used by most boxes at this price. One piece means fewer seams to leak or split, and aluminum means the box does not rust from the inside out once the finish is scratched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWelded Lid Rail for Tying Down Cargo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA rail is welded along the top of the lid, so you have a proper anchor for ratchet straps when you are carrying ladders, conduit or lumber above the box. The rail is finished to match the box, so it does not read as an afterthought bolted on later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTool Trays and Screwdriver Holders Built In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA sliding tray runs on rails inside the box so small parts stay findable instead of migrating to the far corner, and there are moulded holders along the tub wall for screwdrivers and pry bars. It is the organization that stops a crossover box turning into a single deep pile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClamps On With the Hardware in the Carton\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe carton includes two 3\" J-hooks with washers and nuts plus a pair of rail pads, so the box clamps onto the bed rails with a ratchet and a socket and needs no drilling in a normal installation. UWS rates the job as easy and publishes an installation manual specific to this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;margin:8px 0 4px;border:1px solid #e6e6e6;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"display:table;width:100%;margin:0;border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:0;border:none;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#ba232a;color:#ffffff;text-align:left;padding:12px 14px;font-weight:700;border:none;\"\u003eTruck Class\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#ba232a;color:#ffffff;text-align:left;padding:12px 14px;font-weight:700;border:none;\"\u003eExample Trucks\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#ba232a;color:#ffffff;text-align:left;padding:12px 14px;font-weight:700;border:none;\"\u003eFit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#ffffff;font-weight:600;\"\u003eFull-size pickups\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#ffffff;\"\u003eF-150, Silverado\/Sierra 1500, Ram 1500, Tundra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#1a7f37;font-weight:700;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003e Yes, this is the size band built for full-size beds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;font-weight:600;\"\u003eHeavy duty pickups\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;\"\u003eF-250\/350, Silverado\/Sierra 2500\/3500, Ram 2500\/3500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#1a7f37;font-weight:700;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003e Yes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#ffffff;font-weight:600;\"\u003eMid-size pickups\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#ffffff;\"\u003eTacoma, Ranger, Colorado\/Canyon, Frontier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#b25e00;font-weight:700;\"\u003e●\u003c\/span\u003e Too wide for most mid-size beds, step down to a 54\" to 63\" box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;font-weight:600;\"\u003eCompact and unibody trucks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;\"\u003eMaverick, Santa Cruz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#ba232a;font-weight:700;\"\u003e✗\u003c\/span\u003e No, too wide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#ffffff;font-weight:600;\"\u003eTrucks with a liner over the rails\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#ffffff;\"\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#b25e00;font-weight:700;\"\u003e●\u003c\/span\u003e Usually fine, but measure the rail width over the liner lip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;font-weight:600;\"\u003eTrucks with a tonneau cover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;\"\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#b25e00;font-weight:700;\"\u003e●\u003c\/span\u003e Low profile boxes clear many folding covers, confirm with the cover maker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#faf7f7;border-left:4px solid #ba232a;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;padding:14px 16px;margin:12px 0;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit guidance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crossover tool boxes are sized by the rail-to-rail width of your truck bed, not by year, make and model, so this is not a vehicle-specific part and no fitment lookup applies. Measure from the outside of one bed rail to the outside of the other at the point just behind the cab where the box will sit, then choose a box whose overall length is close to that figure. This box is 73\" long overall and 20\" wide, and it needs 20\" of clear space front to back on the rails. Because it is a low-profile box it sits about 2\" lower on the rail than a standard-profile box, which helps with rear visibility and with clearing some tonneau covers. Mounting hardware is included and no drilling is required on most trucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUWS Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e SL-72-LP-MB-R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBox Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Crossover (mounts across the bed behind the cab)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLid Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Single lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLid Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Low profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTub Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLatch Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Secure Lock lockable twist handles, two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLid Rail:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes, welded lid rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStorage Capacity:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.6ft³\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 73\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOverall Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOverall Height:\u003c\/b\u003e 16.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTub Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 62\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTub Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 17\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTub Height:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Aluminum, 0.058\" one-piece tub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Matte Black powder coat over aluminum diamond plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLid Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Patented RigidCore foam-filled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeather Seal:\u003c\/b\u003e MicroSeal gasket, full perimeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTub Liner:\u003c\/b\u003e Removable BedRug liner, included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 60.4 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e About 67 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Method:\u003c\/b\u003e Freight only, ships by LTL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/b\u003e Bolt-in, mounting hardware included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 672078077279\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e Limited lifetime, one-year finish and one-year parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/b\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eManufacturing:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed, fabricated and welded in Florida, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Clamps to the bed rails behind the cab with the two 3\" J-hooks and rail pads supplied in the carton  ·  \u003cb\u003eTime:\u003c\/b\u003e About 30 minutes with a second person  ·  \u003cb\u003eTools:\u003c\/b\u003e Ratchet and socket set, plus a tape measure.

The company is part of the CURT Group, which sits inside Lippert, so a UWS box is backed by a national warranty and parts network rather than by an importer. That matters most on the parts that wear: latches, gaskets, gas struts and lock cylinders are all serviceable items you can still get years after the box was built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engineering that separates UWS from a commodity box is concentrated in two places. The patented RigidCore lid is a one-piece aluminum shell injected with solid foam, so it holds its shape under load instead of oil-canning, and it keeps sealing pressure on the gasket for the life of the box. The MicroSeal gasket is the other half of that system, a full-perimeter seal that keeps water and dust out rather than merely slowing them down. Underneath, the tub is drawn from a single piece of 0.058\" aluminum, thicker than the 0.045\" to 0.050\" common in this price class, and the lock rods run inside an enclosed channel so they cannot be bent or pried from outside. UWS states that this model is designed, fabricated and welded at its Florida plant, and the country of origin on record for this part number is the USA. We publish origin claims exactly as the manufacturer states them, model by model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. Every box we ship is new, factory packed and covered by the full UWS limited lifetime warranty, with finish and parts covered for one year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48935495434484,"sku":"UWSSL-72-LP-MB-R","price":879.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-sl-72-lp-mb-r-crossover-tool-box-hero-a.webp?v=1785298702","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-72-in-secure-lock-crossover-truck-tool-box-with-lid-rail-low-profile-matte-black-sl-72-lp-mb-r","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
