Reviews: Weather Guard DEFENDER SERIES Full Standard Saddle Box (Uncoated) - 300105-9-01

I purchased this for the back of our 2019 RAM 3500 Diesel DRW. We have a 31' pull-behind toy hauler and needed someplace to store tools and such when we travel. The requirements were to have the locks on the sides and to be able to open the box without having to climb into the cargo bed to do it. The red side buttons allow you to open the the box from either side and we keep a small folding foot stool in the truck to access the box without ever setting foot in the cargo bed. The Weatherguard is huge and carries everything we need for quick repairs when we head out with the toyhauler.

I bought this box a week ago, I have high hopes that it will be as good as the WeatherGuard tool box I bought 20 years ago. I can only hope.. Still have and use the 20 year old today. It seems the old box was built a little stronger, the welds are a lot better and the metal is stronger. The new box has some bad welds and the inside metal is thinner. Also the old box has a metal sliding tray that will lock to one side, where as the new one is plastic and won’t lock in place like the old one. We will see how it performs.
