This driver-side box mounts over the rear wheel well and uses the open bed space above and behind the tire for 3.4ft³ of secure, out-of-the-way storage, so it keeps hand tools and small parts organized without giving up your main bed floor. It is built from gloss black aluminum diamond plate with an EXTREME PROTECTION dual-stage rotary latch that is Fleet-Ready 1Key UltraLock compatible, so your gear stays protected on the jobsite. This is the redesigned Wheel Well box with a memory-resistant D-shaped weather seal and 12V access.

The latch is an automotive dual-stage rotary mechanism, the same style a truck door uses, so it pulls the lid down onto the seal instead of relying on a friction catch. A welded gas strut shield keeps loose tools from knocking the strut mount out of line. The D-shaped ribbed weather strip is memory resistant, so it springs back after years of closing rather than taking a set and letting water track in.\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\/Super Duty, Silverado\/Sierra, Ram, Tundra, Titan\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, driver side, mounts over the rear wheel well\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;\"\u003eMid-size and compact pickups\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 Check bed and wheel-well clearance first, designed 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:#ffffff;font-weight:600;\"\u003eOpposite side of the\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:#ba232a;font-weight:700;\"\u003e✗\u003c\/span\u003e No, this box is built for the driver side; order the matching opposite-side model for the other side\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 Wheel-well, or pork chop, boxes mount inside the bed over the rear wheel well and use the open space above and behind the tire, so they leave your main bed floor clear.
