Abstract

See full text

A tailgate toolbox is disclosed wherein a toolbox is adapted to slide and be encased within the tailgate hutch of a vehicle, such as a pick-up truck. The tailgate hutch generally being made with material that is strong and durable to protect the cargo space, the toolbox stored therein stays protected and may be built with lighter material further making it portable. Additionally, a cavity in the tailgate hutch provides space that is otherwise wasted and thus storing a toolbox therein takes up no additional space. Furthermore, securely encased within the tailgate hutch, the toolbox stays secure and prevents its theft. The toolbox disclosed includes pre-designed compartments for storing standard tools to prevent rattling as the cargo vehicle sometimes moves through rough terrain. The toolbox also includes a handle to enable it to be easily pulled out of or stowed back into the cavity of the tailgate hutch.
