Expert Answers about Trailer Tool Box


  • Where is MaxxTow A-Frame Trailer Tongue Toolbox Made

It has a locking handle to protect your tools, a weatherproof seal to keep them dry, and a gas strut that keeps the lid open while you find what you need so you don't have to hold it up. These A-frame toolboxes are available in black or silver...

  • Are Firestone Air Compressors Waterproof
  • The Firestone air compressors such as # F9377 can handle typical moisture like what might splash up from the road when driving in the rain. But it is not designed to be submerged under water. For something to be waterproof it has to be able to be submerged under water for a certain amount of time and not let any water in. It will be perfectly fine under your truck so long as you aren't planning on driving into any deep bodies of water! That is why Firestone makes a mount bracket, # F2530,...

  • What Gauge Steel Are the B&W Truck Cab Protectors/Headache Racks Made From
  • I spoke with my contact and B&W and the Custom Headache Rack # BWPUCP7500WA is made of 10 gauge steel except for the flat plates that attach to the bed sides. Those are 7 gauge. This rack is not tested with toolboxes or tonneau covers so it is difficult to determine if it will work in conjunction with those items. It likely will not work if the tonneau cover blocks the lip in the inner part of the bed sides.

  • What Are Mounting Brackets of Wheel Masters Level Master Trailer Bubble Level WM6780 Made of
  • The mounting brackets for the Wheel Masters Level Master Trailer Bubble Level with 5th Wheel Pin Box Mounting Bracket # WM6780 are made out of UV-protected plastic.

  • What Material is the Trailer Coupler Latch Lock # 2878DAT Made From
  • The 7/8" Wide Trailer Coupler Latch Lock # 2878DAT is made of hardened steel. As far as how easy it is to defeat, ultimately any lock can be defeated given enough time and the right tools. Since there is no gauge of how "breakeable" a specific lock is, we recommend making your setup look intimidating to deter would-be thieves. If you are wanting to deter theft of your trailer when it is coupled then the Bulldog # BD580404 is a great option because it has a coupler lock and a ball mount...

For something to be considered waterproof it has to be able to be submerged under water for a certain period of time and not let water in. None of the toolboxes are waterproof but as far as keeping out rain they can do that just fine.

  • Location of Trailer Running Light Fuse Under Hood of 2015 Ford F-350
  • I found an online diagram for the fuse box of your 2015 Ford F-350 and according to it the trailer running light fuse is in the 26 position and takes a 30 amp fuse. It's labeled as trailer tow park lamps which may be why it was harder to track down.

  • How to Tell if 2015 Chevrolet Equinox Has Factory Tow Package
  • If your 2015 Chevrolet Equinox has a factory tow package, there should be a trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle, behind the rear bumper. The connector could also be inside a black box that is mounted under the vehicle. If this is present, then your Equinox almost definitely has a factory tow package. Another way to be sure is to simply take your VIN number to a local Chevrolet dealer and they will be able to tell you exactly what was installed in the factory for your vehicle.

  • My LED Trailer Light Hitch # CR-007G Only Lights Up When Using A Converter
  • If you got something like this Adapter 7 Pole to 4 Pole with Tester # 47345 you will be able to convert your 7 pole to the 4 pole you need to power your light # CR-007G, you can also test to see if everything is working. If everything is, I think you may have an issue with your wiring with your factory 4 pole. You may also want to check your fuse box for a blown fuse. Also try to check your factory wire connection under your truck bed.

  • What is the Weight of the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series Tailgate
  • The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series # VGD-10-4000 weighs roughly 32-lbs. It should be noted that this tailgate isn't necessarily going to increase what the truck's payload much, if at all, but they're instead designed to reduce the damage that might otherwise occur when towing a 5th wheel trailer with a pin box that hangs close to the tailgate. These tailgates also reduce drag that ultimately will help improve gas mileage.

  • Where Is The Curt Q20 Hitch Made And Where Is The Steel From?
  • The Curt 5th wheel hitches like # C16530-16017 are made overseas in Asia with steel from that region, but they are tested to meet US standards. Unless you are using a Sidewinder or have a Revolution pin box, I highly recommend you use a sliding 5th wheel hitch like # C16530-16020 or the B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3370 which is made in the USA. Reese makes an adapter for the OEM Underbed Rails # RP30156, to allow the use of standard sliding hitches with the factory puck system, which...

  • Will the Convert-A-Ball Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # CAB-C5G Handle Long Trips
  • You should have no problem using the Convert-A-Ball Gooseneck Coupler Adapter, # CAB-C5G, on a 1,200 mile trip as long as the gross weight of your trailer remains under 20,000 lbs and the pin weight is under 4,000 lbs. We had one customer comment that he has been using his adapter for over 20,000 miles and it is still working great. The only note I would add to this adapter is that there will be a noticeable difference in the ride quality if you are used to towing with a fifth wheel hitch....
