You can get both. Diamond boxes come in a variety of heights and configurations.

X2 and you can put a few hundred pounds on top too

I've had instances to be annoyed by both.

Soft covers do weatherproofing and outta sight outta mind, but are easy to defeat, and all tonneau covers have to get out of the way to use the "truk" function of your vehicle.

The toolboxes are lockable and you can use the majority of your "truk" but they can get in the way if you haul larger things, and the rest of the box isn't weatherproofed.

I haven't done the box under the tonneau, or the hard tonneau, but I've done soft, segmented, and toolboxes.

A good locking canopy is the best option, IMO, but hard to haul hay, or anything longer than the box.

Before that I had two different soft Tonneau covers, one got sliced open by a thief trying to get inside (it was empty at the time) and the other I ripped trying to get 6" of snow of the cover.  :bash:


I have a bakflip also and realy like it.  I too have a boat hook I occasionally  use if anything slides forward.  Is nice to keep the weather out and items secure.  Ive also slept under mine on a 5 night hunt.  I would recommend.
I have never had a Tool Box, so I will let other that have comment on those.

I’ve always had a toolbox but I drive a long box and haul a lot is stuff that won’t fit under a tonneau cover. I see a lot of the tonneau covers that you can park bikes and quads on and those fit a lot of peoples needs. Really depends on what you planning on keeping dry. I can fit what I need to keep dry in the toolbox or under the back seat.

Even toolboxes are outrageous these days so it just depends on what you planning on using the bed of your truck for.
