I spoke to my contact at B and W and she verified that from the center of where your gooseneck ball attaches to the front of the B and W Companion Slider Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Slider part # BWRVK3400 measures 15 inches. So if you were to measure from the center of your gooseneck ball forward 15 inches you would know if this would interfere with your toolbox.
You should also note that if your tool box sticks up higher than the bed rails of your truck you might see interference while making tight turns. If it sits flush then you should have no problems.
The overall dimensions of this unit are 45 inches by 34-3/8 inches. I attached a review video for this product as well.
