i went with a Swing Case... plan to get one for the other side as well. lots of handy storage.
Almost as much as the DeWalt bin

Anyone else have suggestions? Looking for ideas and pics... I really like the swing case but can't stomach the price.

That’s nice, got it from Ford??
Install yourself?

It looks like you have the plastic bed liner, matching the bed bolts holes no issue apparently?

No, heck i work for Ford and the price was $229 lol... i got it from stage3motorsports.com $199.
The Ford one is made by Swing Case, just has a Ford logo on it.
That's the factory spray-in bed liner actually. It's really good, sprayed on thick.
I did have to "chase" the tapped holes with a tap to clean them out, from the bed liner stuff, was easy though.

I’ll think I’ll opt for that over a bed rail tool box.

I’ve got the plastic liner with one bolt hole on each side securing the liner. I’ll need to transfer the other 4 holes through the plastic liner to mount one.
That will may be a bit tricky.

Yeah, i think someone on here has done that. I know i've seen a video showing how to mount it with a plastic bed liner.

BTW, AutoAnything.com also has these at $199 usually with another discount of some type.

It’s too small for you but i use a few five gallon buckets with added screw top lids. Super cheap, super waterproof, and less likely to be stolen. I have a cargo bar that keeps them upright in a row against the back of the bed. One for straps, one for tools, one for car cleaning products. Easy to take out when I need the space.

I just installed a Swing Case yesterday and I'm very happy with it. Enough room for my recovery gear, hitches, first aid kit, etc and easy to remove when I need to use the whole bed. If I need more storage in the future I'll probably grab another one for the other (driver's) side.

Thanks for the feedback. Think I will just get two right off.

Any idea if it will fit and swing over a Bed Mat? I've got the Ford Ranger OEM Rubber mat in mine.
