I really like the looks of the Diamond plate tool boxes I myself have one in my ranger. They are very useful. The plastic ones i dont know for sure but they could probably break easier and i think they look bad in general.
oh yea and if possible look for them used to cut some cost. try out your local Craigslist.

I have a custom built brand diamond plate box that I picked up from craigslist for $50.00. I had to do a little cleaning and polishing but it comes in very handy to store my tie downs, come-a-long, tow chains, and winch. I like it because my extended cab has a sub box that takes up the whole back of the cab.

my box my dad found for me for about $100. mine is not low but i think both ways they look fine and mine doesn't effect my vision out the back at all.
If i would update a picture i could show you but my camera is currently broke.
but good luck

thanks guys, i will get either the low or normal type but wili get the diamond metal one..io was also thinking that if i bought a ranger in ht efuture, i would be able to transfer the box to the new one so it would be worth the $. also i have heard that they last a long time..

The only problem is they make your tiny box even smaller.

Mine was about 250 or so. Cuts your bed down a bit but you can still slide stuff under, was perfect fro snowboards.

the plastic ones suck! they look cheap and fade! Definitly go with a diamond plate one! You can get one at Lowes for 230-250 dollars! They are Kobalt and have a LIFETIME waranty! ill get pics up of mine tomorrow! i have two lights in mine on the underside of my lid so i can turn them on at night, and i have the no slippage black mat for mine as well in the bottom of it so the stuff inside stays in place! Lowes has all of these!
