Where is MaxxTow A-Frame Trailer Tongue Toolbox Made

Question

Question:

I am looking at several different utility trailer A-Frame style tool boxes for the front of my trailer. One I looked at is MaxxTow brand MT80349. Can you tell me where it is made? I like the RC Manufacturing box as well and it is made in USA.

We do have A-frame trailer tongue toolboxes that are made in the USA, though the MaxxTow MaxxHaul Trailer Tongue Toolbox is made in China.

Like you mentioned, the RC Manufacturing toolboxes are made in the USA and are a very high quality toolbox. 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 and with 2.6 or 5.2 cubic feet of cargo space:

- 2.6 Cu Ft: RC Manufacturing T-Series Trailer Tongue Toolbox - A-Frame # 350980 (Black) or # 350970 (Silver)

- 5.2 Cu Ft: RC Manufacturing T-Series Trailer Tongue Toolbox - A-Frame # 313-TM362016M (Black) or # 350975 (Silver)

I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.
