My steel gated utility trailer has had 2 sets of tires and two beds replaced over it's 22 years in service. I have never had a tongue box on it, so decided to buy the Vevor 36" box. Have had it for about 2 months and it is a great addition to my trailer. I'm able to keep tools and straps on board and the fact that it locks makes it trouble free. Can't go wrong for the price! Well made.
