Next up, we have Decked. This company was founded in 2014 and specializes in unique truck bed storage systems, all of which are manufactured in either Defiance, Ohio, or St. George, Utah.
Decked is another company that appears on a lot of lists, but as you look it over, you might notice that it’s less known for the quality of its toolboxes and more for its elaborate drawer systems. These earned mentions on Elite Truck and Gear Patrol’s lists.
Rather than simply fitting into the back of the bed near the cab, these systems put a second, higher bed in your truck and come with drawers that slide out from underneath to rest on the tailgate. This allows truck owners to keep the full square footage of their truck bed while simultaneously allowing them to maximize their internal storage. The only downside to this system is that it makes the depth of your truck bed significantly shallower, which may not be desirable for some truck owners.
While that is impressive enough on its own, Decked also makes a plastic Crossover Truck Toolbox, which Car and Driver hailed as the “best non-metal toolbox” in 2023, stating that it “offers 9.8 cubic feet of storage space for tools and gear. It features waterproof, rust-proof polymer construction and comes with accessory trays to further improve your organization and storage options, making it a wonderful all-purpose storage solution if you don’t mind shelling out a premium amount.”
