Recommended Tonneau Cover for a 2017 Ford F-450 with Toolbox and 5th Wheel Hitch
Question:
I have a 5th wheel hitch and a weather guard 684001 tool chest in the bed. The chest sits below the rail but is wide. Can you recommend a tonneau cover?

Since your Weather Guard Aluminum Truck Toolbox 684-0-01 is almost as wide as the inside of your truck bed, you will want to use a tonneau cover that mounts on top of the trucks bed rails as this will not interfere with the opening of your toolbox. I have attached a list of tonneau covers that mount on top of the trucks bed rails for you but out of these options, I recommend the Extang EnCore Hard Tonneau Cover part # EX62488.
The Extang EnCore is an excellent choice for your F-450. This cover will allow for 100% access to your toolbox as well as your 5th wheel hitch while the cover is folded up. One of the best features of this cover is that it opens from both the tailgate and cab. Therefore you will not need to open the cover all the way up to access your toolbox. Another great feature of this cover is that it uses your trucks ignition key for both locking and unlocking visa the BOLT 1-key lock technology.
