Features

Heavy 14-Gauge Steel Build
The 308-5-04 is built from 14-gauge steel across the top and sides and rides on 12-gauge steel skids, so it shrugs off daily loading, weather and the rough life of a work truck. It is made to protect what is inside and keep working season after season.

425 lb Drawer, 2000 lb Top
The roll-out drawer carries up to 425 pounds evenly distributed while the steel top and sides hold up to 2000 pounds, so you can pack heavy tools inside and still stack gear or step on top. That is real jobsite capacity in a black 48" unit.

1KEY UltraLock Security
A recessed 1KEY UltraLock cylinder keeps your gear locked down, and the 1KEY system lets you code this drawer unit and every other Weather Guard box on the truck to a single key. Less fumbling, one key for the whole rig.

One-Touch Latch, Full Extension
A One-Touch latch pops the drawer open with one hand, even when your other hand is full, and heavy-duty ball-bearing rollers glide the loaded drawer all the way out for full access to the back. It holds firmly shut on rough roads.

4 Compartments, Adjustable Dividers
The drawer is set up with 4 compartments and 24 adjustable dividers, so fasteners, power tools and small parts each get a home instead of sliding around. Rearrange the dividers any time your kit changes.

Blacked-Out ARMOR TUF Finish, Anti-Slip Top
A gloss black ARMOR TUF powder coat gives this full-footprint unit a stealthy, blacked-out look that hides road dust, fingerprints and scuffs far better than a white finish, so it stays sharp in a bed that sees daily abuse. Anti-slip tread strips run the full width of the top for sure footing.

Fitment & Compatibility

Truck or Application	Fit
Full-size pickup beds (F-150/250/350, RAM 1500-3500, Silverado/Sierra 1500-3500HD)	✓ Yes, sits crosswise on the bed floor
Full-size cargo vans and work-van floors	✓ Yes, common in-floor drawer unit
Mid-size and compact trucks (Ranger, Colorado, Tacoma, Frontier, Maverick)	✗ No, the 48" width needs a full-size bed or van

Fit guidance: The Pack Rat is a universal, non vehicle-specific unit rather than a bolt-on for one model. It measures about 48" wide by about 39-3/4" front to back and sits crosswise on the bed floor, so it needs a full-size pickup bed or cargo van with room across the wheel wells. It is too wide for mid-size and compact beds. It bolts down through the base with the included hardware and can be stacked with compatible Pack Rat units. Always measure your bed floor and the space between the wheel wells before ordering, and check the Weather Guard Pack Rat sizes and fit guide for your truck.

Weather Guard Puts the Pack Rat Through a Durability Beatdown

Weather Guard's own durability film, in which the Pack Rat is loaded, slammed, dropped and generally abused to show what the 14 gauge steel top and 12 gauge skids actually survive. If you are trying to work out whether a steel drawer unit is worth the weight over a plastic box, this is the clip that answers it.

Weather Guard Sliding Truck Bed

This official Weather Guard video demonstrates the sliding truck bed that pulls your whole load out to you instead of making you climb into the bed. You watch it glide out under a heavy jobsite load, rated to carry up to 2000 pounds, so tools and materials come to the tailgate. It shows how much faster and safer loading and unloading becomes on a busy work truck. It is a strong companion to Weather Guard's boxes and drawers for organizing the bed.

Best Upgrade for Your Truck

This is Weather Guard's own brand film about outfitting a working pickup, built on the idea that the truck should already be loaded and organized before the day starts. It puts the bed and rail equipment in the context of a real work day rather than a spec sheet. Watch it if you are still deciding how much storage a truck actually needs. It is the clearest short look at how Weather Guard boxes, racks and drawer units are meant to work together on one vehicle, and it comes straight from the manufacturer rather than a reseller.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on specs, fit and support

How much weight can the drawer and top hold?

The roll-out drawer is rated for 425 pounds evenly distributed and the steel top and sides are rated for 2000 pounds evenly distributed. Keep loads spread out and within those limits and you can pack heavy tools in the drawer while still stacking gear or stepping on top.

Does the black finish change how it performs?

No, the 308-5-04 is mechanically identical to the white 308-3-04, with the same 14-gauge steel build, 425 lb drawer, 2,000 lb top rating and One-Touch latch with 1KEY UltraLock. The gloss black ARMOR TUF coat is purely a cosmetic and dust-hiding choice for crews who want a blacked-out bed.

Will it fit my truck?

The 308-5-04 is 48" wide by about 39-3/4" front to back and 9-1/2" tall and sits crosswise on the bed floor, so it fits full-size pickup beds and cargo van floors and is too wide for mid-size or compact trucks. Confirm your clear floor length ahead of the wheel wells, then check the Weather Guard Pack Rat sizes and fit guide.

How is it mounted, and can I stack units?

It bolts to the bed floor through the steel base using the included hardware. Plan to drill a few mounting holes, seal them with zinc-rich primer, and on aluminum beds follow the blind-fastener steps. Compatible Pack Rat units can also be stacked and fastened together per the Weather Guard install manual.

Who is the black version for?

The blacked-out 308-5-04 suits work trucks and fleets that want a uniform dark bed setup or simply prefer a finish that shows less grime between washes. The drawer still comes with four compartments and 24 adjustable dividers you can reconfigure for fasteners, power tools, rigging and small parts.

What is it made of and is it covered by a warranty?

It is built from 14-gauge steel on the top and sides over 12-gauge steel skids with a Gloss Black ARMOR TUF powder-coat finish that resists rust and scuffs, it is made in the USA, and it is backed by a Weather Guard Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
