Hi Bow, I'm a newbie here but I was wondering about bed toolboxes and whether putting one at the rear instead of the front would make it act like a partial tonneau cover. No one here seemed to have ever heard of anyone trying that, with data. Do you still have your toolbox? If so, since your partial tonneau cover is already off, it would be a fairly easy experiment (hint, hint :-) :-)). Yes, there are drawbacks, a heavy load in the box raises the polar moment of inertia, you lose cargo access from the rear unless you move the box, and things in the box will get shaken up more than at the front. However, given how many pickup trucks I see with toolboxes and empty beds that never see cargo, it seemed like a good idea to test. I have the pickup but no box. Anyway, if you feel like doing a little testing I think that that would be great. Thanks.
