UNDERCOVER SwingCase Truck Bed Storage Box | SC201P | Fits 1999-2014 1999-4 Ford F-150 Passenger Side

I purchased the passenger side box for my 2012 F-150. The box arrived on time and undamaged. Install was actually quite easy and probably only took me about 15 minutes, mostly because I double check everything. I have a spray in bed liner and this didn't create any installation issues or extra cutting. The video on Amazon shows an older box model as mine had some clear improvements to the hinges and the swing mechanism. The pictures are closer to what the box looks like now. Also, there is now a hinge lock included which prevents the box from being lifted and stolen. This is keyed to the lid lock so quite convenient. Both locks are really what some would call enough to "keep honest people honest", but I didn't expect metal armour. You can still add a padlock for extra protection. There are copies of this item also available, but they were roughly the same price. I chose to get the branded item and this was a great quality decision. . The box has lots of space, more than I expected and I am very pleased with this purchase!

This thing is ingenious! I installed this on my 2013 F150 Lariat SuperCrew with 5.5' box. I do not have a bed liner yet, but this box will work with Bedrugs and sprayed in liners. The instructions say it works with drop in liners, but you have to cut away part of your drop-in liner to accommodate the hinge bracket.When I do decide to install a spray liner, I can simply remove the six bolts and quickly reinstall it. If I decide on a bedrug, I don't have to remove the bracket since the bedrug will simply install over it; I will only need to cut slots for the latching mechanism and hinges.Contrary to popular belief, this will install without removing the factory tie-downs on the 2013 F150 beds (I am sure it will also work on other close years, but I can only speak for the 2013). Here is how:The instructions say to mount the hinge plate with the bottom of it down against the bed. I simply raised it 1 inch above that bed and that caused the bracket to clear the tie-down with a little room to spare to hook in a strap to the tie down ring. Raising it an inch still gives enough clearance at the top of the box to clear the bed rail and any brackets you may have that clamp a topper or tonnneau cover. While the box does block the tie-down, I can still use the tie-down if needed by simply removing the box. The box lifts off the hinges with little effort.The molded plastic construction of the box is very durable. It is made with a thick plastic. The instructions say you cannot store certain chemicals in it, but this is not a problem for me since I store 9 heavy tie-down straps, trailer locks, a trailer receiver, construction knives, rope, and a 10 foot heavy duty jumper cable in mine. It is quite a bit of weight.The latching mechanism is wonderful. If you watch the videos on this product and how easily it latches, you will see how wonderful it will work when you install it on your truck.The swing latch does leave a little room for play when in the locked position. But this has not been a problem on my truck and I do not hear any rattling noise from it on rough roads.I find the size of the box to be perfect. It is not too large to obstruct other uses of the bed, and not too small that you cannot store enough in the box. It is great for storing items that I do not use very often which I do not want to store in the cab of my truck. If I ever need more storage room, I will get another one of these boxes for the passenger side. I already have an under-seat storage bin in the rear of my cab for items I use more frequently.It has two small bins to hold small items. One is permanently mounted in the small, upper area that is over the wheel well. The other is a floating bin that slides across the top. I keep my trailer keys, locks, and wires in this area.The lid does not open enough when the box is swung in the closed position because of the bed rail. However, there really is not a better way to make the lid work unless the box is made smaller. A side door could help, but then items may fall out when the side door is opened, and the hole for a side door would weaken the box.The installation instructions were well written, and there are online videos showing how to install it. Installation was very simple and took very little time; a lot less time than most aftermarket items I have installed on the truck. It is just installing six self-drilling bolts and you are done. I took the time to predrill pilot holes, but this is not necessary. The videos show how to contend with bed side rails that have a curve to them, and it was just simply to mount the bracket a little higher. My 2013 F150 does not have this curve, but I mounted 1 inch higher anyways to clear the tie-down ring.There is a tab on the hinge to lock the box with a padlock. I don't intend to use this since I have a hard tonneau cover and locking tailgate.The lid has a locking latch. Nice, if you don't want the box opened. However, the box can still be lifted off the hinge, so an extra padlock will be needed on the hinge if you don't want the box removed.The swing latch release mechanism works smoothly. Just simply pull the lever with moderate pressure and the box releases. Then swing the box back into place with a moderate push and it locks back in place.This box is everything I expected it to be. I watched the videos about it before purchasing it, so I knew exactly what I was getting. I recommend it for its decent durability and as a good place to store the small items that don't need to be in the cab.UPDATE: I've been using the heck out of this box, and I have a lot of weight stored in it. It still performs wonderful. The latching mechanism did start to bind up a little; however, I just sprayed a little dielectric grease on the moving parts and it works perfect again.

This was a Christmas gift and it’s been installed in the truck and very happy with it!

Haven't got it installed yet due too they sent me the song year for my vehicle. They sent me one to fit a 2014 and I have a 2016. I got someone going to install. I would have sent it back but I though the box out, before I noticed the wrong product. But when I get it installed in will be using it to store some of search and rescue gear. It out works I'll be getting one for the passenger side.It appears to be sturdy quality, it will not hold any big stuff, b but it will still come in handy. The lid can also lock to help protect your stuff and you can lock the case to prevent it from swinging even if you pull the realize handle.

This case is awesome! No more tools rolling around in the cab. It was easy to install.If you have an F150 you must flip the tie down point upside down to install the case. My truck had a spray in bed liner so I had to cut the bedliner around the tie down point to flip it.
