Mine came with one. Drove it for a week with it on and decided to remove it and installed a lowmax hard folding tonneau cover.
That looks much like the Ford box that came on my Ranger, but they charge a lot more for it! I like the idea of the cross bed box but would rather cover the rest of the bed. I have found covers for other pickups with cross bed boxes, but not for the Ranger. I still have the stuff from my old Ranger and at some point, I'll try to modify something to fit. But, that's a future project.I have one on mine. It's the matte black Craftsman with the buttons on the sides and it looks like it came on the truck. Lowe's has them for $250 if I remember right. The big Craftsman badge was gaudy and crooked on mine so I peeled it off. I did have to put waterproof tape over the long mounting slots where the bolt washers didn't cover to keep water out in the automatic car wash.
There are three things to share on this: first, my box was not "rigged," i.e. the lid was not adjusted so that the seal was tight all the way around. I had to loosen the two latch bolts and adjust them down to get it to seal. Also, the j bolts that come with the box are garbage. I ordered two sets of four aluminum block and bolt brackets off Ebay and so there are eight bolts holding the box on the truck. Finally, big washers are your friends. The bigger the washer under each bolt head the better the hold.
Yeah, they charge more for everything. Their splash guards cost a hundred bucks!
Do you have a link or picture of the bolts/aluminum blocks so that I know what to order? What kind of waterproof tape as well? Just trying not to reinvent the wheel since you clearly have this down pat. Thank you!I have one on mine.

Old post I know but do you still have access to your rear tiedowns with this toolbox?I have one on mine.
