TruckVault Testimonials

At TruckVault, we didn’t make ourselves the world’s leading manufacturer of secure vehicle storage solutions. Our customers did. Focused on the details of craftsmanship, construction materials and function, we appreciate the tremendous support we receive for a job well done.


    • Jan Alphonso
      Autozone Grand Prize Winner
    • Dear TruckVault,

      Needless to say winning this beautiful 2009 FORD 4X4 truck, equipped with an Extreme All-Weather TruckVault, was one of the most exciting moments of my life!

      I was planting flowers in my front yard with help from my gardener when the FedEx truck pulled up to my curb. After reading the letter (several times) from the National Sweepstakes Company advising me that I was the Grand Prize winner, I nearly passed out!

      I was jumping up and down, grabbed and hugged the gardener, then as a neighbor was walking his dog by the house I grabbed and hugged him too! I can’t imagine what they both must have thought. I couldn’t even speak as I handed the letter to my neighbor to read.

      I called my husband at work to tell him my great news but I could only cry. You see I am giving the truck to my husband for Christmas since his FORD truck is getting up there in years and has lots of miles on it. He is a really good guy and has had a tough last three years. After having a four-way bi-pass that went terribly wrong, he almost lost his life. He was in the hospital almost two months and has had five surgeries within three years. I quit my job to care for him so as you can imagine financially this set us back quite a bit.

      He is doing pretty good now and I’m happy to be able to give him new wheels and NO truck payments! The money he gets from selling his old truck will be going to our daughter so she can get a better car.

      I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for having this sweepstakes and making several people in my life very happy.

      We all thank you!

    • I hunt all over the country as well as all over Canada and Mexico. We hunt and travel in some very extreme conditions and we depend on our equipment to take us to the end. If our cameras or guns do not perform on a daily basis, then we do not have a television show. Our Extreme TruckVault is one piece of equipment that steps up to the plate day in and day out. We carry all of our shotguns, scoped rifles, electronic dog collars, ammunition, calls, etc. in it and we never have a worry. I love the fact that we can stack more gear on top of it and even carry our four wheeler on top of it. Our gear stays clean and safe in it giving us the confidence each time we pull the drawers open. The last thing I will mention about our TruckVault is the security that it gives us while we are on the road. Never take anything for granted but you can be rest assured that your gear is in safe hands with these TruckVault Systems.

    • Brian Thurston
      President, OMNI
    • I drive the biggest consumer production vehicle ever made.......the Ford Excursion. I am constantly traveling to hunting or fishing destinations with tons of gear and it seems like there is never enough room! All that gear requires organization or it simply is a big mess too! My TruckVault has solved all those problems in a big way for me. I have all the emergency necessities, firearms or fishing rods, extra gear, simply everything I could possibly need now well organized and securely stored. Thank you TruckVault for an awesome product!

    • Casey Jones
      All-American Skeet Shooter
    • As a Junior All State and All American skeet shooter, keeping my shooting gear safe, organized and ready for competition can be a challenge. My Extreme Series TruckVault makes it simple, knowing that my gear will be right where I put it, right when I need it most. High quality construction assures it will last throughout my shooting years in both high school and college. And the durable coated protection withstands many trips during the off-season to the hunting lease with my four-wheeler and hunting lab “Duke”.

      Thanks TruckVault!

      “Professional quality equipment for the professional competitor – in both work and play”

    • Edward & Grayson
    • Just a quick note to thank you and the Truckvault team for the great product you built for my nephew Edward (left), and our two pointer labs, Peggy on the left and Sydney on the right, and me on the right.

      As you know I had purchased a vault from you before in 2005 and was very impressed with the upgrades to the lock, slide, and antitheft design in this model. The dog kennel is first rate. I sent you some not so perfect drawings, after building a cardboard mock up. You guys were great at interpreting my intent and it fit perfect! The extra clearance allows for my 70 pound pointer labs to stand up with 2 inches to clear their backs. More room than the plastic crates we had before, and MUCH better ventilation than the plastic boxes which is key in the summertime heat!


    • Mike McClelland
      Elite Bassmaster Professional
    • As a B.A.S.S. Elite Series angler, keeping my tackle and equipment safe and organized is a must for me to be successful. My Truck Vault is the best investment I have made in a number of year to accomplish my goal for even more success. I sleep easier knowing that any tackle needed is safe, organized and ready to go in my Truck Vault drawers anytime I need to make an adjustment to win my next tournament!

    • Andrew Cohen
      President/CEO Finishlinewest
    • I thought I would drop you a line and let you know how things are working out with the Truckvault we recently installed in our Jeep Wrangler.

      As you can see from the accompanying photos this particular vehicle is a soft top, anyone with a sharp fingernail can let themselves in any time they want thereby making the interior contents easily removed.

      A few years ago I wouldn’t have given a second thought to parking our highly customized corporate vehicle and walking away but times being what they are this is something I worried about considering the fact we routinely carry very expensive GPS, Laptops and camera equipment with us due to our heavy product test schedule.

      I looked at other “lockable” containers made specifically for the Jeep but when the last part of a company’s name ends with “vault” it gives one pause, something I no longer do once I lock everything inside the Truckvault!

      I get many comments in the field regarding your product not the least of which is how quiet it is compared to the other products on the market. Please tell the people who make the Truckvault I sleep better at night because of them.


    • Wade Middleton
      Host, Fishing & Hunting Texas
    • "With my TruckVault, I know I can carry more fishing and hunting gear securely than ever before for weeks at a time and know it will be safe and ready to use at a moments notice no matter the conditions outside and no matter where I've been parked at."

    • Jeff Foiles
      President, Foiles Migrators, Inc.
    • "Traveling over 40,000 miles a year and hunting across North America, our Benellis are our number 1 priority. Our truck is packed with everything from dogs, decoys, and ammo to an ArticCat ATV and camera equipment. This year we installed the TruckVault. This is the best thing we have ever done.

      "My Benellis are not only safe from damage they are safe from thieves. I can now store 6 guns, my accessories, and all my valuables and feel at ease, knowing they are secure in my 'Vault'. I will never travel anywhere without one in my truck. Undoubtedly the best product for the traveling hunter made today."


    • Scott Linden
      Host/Producer, Cast & Blast/What the Dogs Taught Me
    • "The flexibility of TruckVault is what I like most. Making television shows about fly fishing and bird hunting, I need to reconfigure my rig and my TruckVault regularly. Besides being infinitely adaptable, TruckVault holds virtually everything I need for a South Dakota pheasant shoot, or a Montana fly fishing trip ... short of a bird dog!"

      "TruckVault quality is unmatched; engineering and design are by sportsmen for sportsmen, and they simply work!"


    • John Gallaspy
    • "During the filming season for Hunter's Handbook Television, I commonly find myself with two, three, four or more firearms of various flavors in the back of my Tahoe for days on end. When not filming, any day may find me in a deer stand, on the sporting clays range, heading to Arkansas for a duck hunt, plinking or any array of shooting and hunting pursuits."

      "My TruckVault has completely changed the way I can plan and travel and has totally taken the worry of security and safety out of mind. I absolutely cannot imagine doing what I do without it."


    • Jeff and Sherol Engel
      Hosts, Engel's Outdoor Experience
    • "As we travel our great country filming for our television show, we rely on our TruckVault to keep our equipment and guns safe and secure. It fits perfectly into our truck. We recommend this product to anyone that likes to be organized, stylish and welcomes the extra security that a TruckVault offers."

    • Sisk
    • "I recently purchased a TruckVault and double wire dog box. It was a great system!

      When I returned to my home in Alaska, I left it in my Tundra. Two days ago I was driving on an isolated road and hit a moose. My truck rode the guard rail for 75 feet after striking the moose, then flipped over an embankment, rolled three times, and came to rest in a tree. My dogs were in the dog box, which was ejected when the canopy sheared off. The box DID sustain some damage, but if the dogs had not been in this dog box, they would have been killed. My gratitude to your company for making such a durable product. I will be ordering another one when I replace my totaled truck.

      Thank you."

    • Officer Steve Hardy
      Stillaguamish Tribal Police
    • "I was very impressed by the choice of options available. In my twenty five years as a law enforcement professional, this is the best vehicle storage system I have seen. It makes organizing and keeping my equipment ready for service very easy. The quality of your workmanship and your friendly staff far exceeded my expectations. Thanks again!"


      "In God we trust, all others are suspect."

    • Lt. Jay Bridenthal
      Fleet Supervisor, Lee County EMS
    • "We recently installed seven TruckVaults in our Supervisor Expeditons. These vehicles are used on a daily basis for emergency responses and administrative duties. As you can see from the enclosed picture, our emergency gear is readily accessible. What you can't see is all of the maintenance or non-emergency items that used to clutter up the cargo area of the SUVs. The fit and function of the TruckVaults are excellent.

      Combined with the safety cages, we can be comfortable in the fact that our gear is safely stowed.

      Thanks again!"


    • Chris Batha
      Vice President & Editor at Large, Shooting Sportsman Magazine
    • "Shotguns are my living; they are the essential tools of my trade, I make them, fit them, bend them, mend them and sell them, and every year I drive over 40,000 miles attending shooting clinics, hunts and shows and every one of those miles on the road I will be hauling an average of 15 or more guns. Security and hence peace of mind is an essential requirement, both on the road and overnight. "Truck Vault" gives me exactly that!

      Custom built to my vehicles specifications, it maximizes secure storage in a minimum space. I have one of the two locking drawers portioned with dividers that keep all of my bits and bobs separated and neatly organized and the standard drawer is long enough to store the assembled shotguns and rifles. The top deck is covered in a vehicle-matching durable all-weather carpet that handles all of the abuse that my outdoor lifestyle can throw at it, along with an essential security element that when the car is locked it appears empty to any potential thief looking into the interior.

      The push button locks deliver maximum security, they cannot be forced or picked, codes are easily changed and real bonuses for me, there are no keys to lose! The Truck Vault offers safety as well as security, if it is properly fitted and secured in the vehicle, if you are involved in a collision or accident, there are no potentially lethal objects flying around the interior, with the potential to damage or injure you or their selves.

      "Truck Vault" is as essential to my business as the "Try Gun and Pattern Plate and I could not more highly recommend this product to you."

    • Sam Rensi
      Vice President, Firearms Manufacturing - Remington Arms Company
    • "After a trip afield, I was returning to my home and encountered a car across the road. My options were to take a chance with the ditch or hit the person in the car. The ride in the ditch was uneventful, until the sign appeared and the ditch became a catch basin. The result, I turned my beautiful 1996 Ford Bronco on its side.

      Because of my harness, I was uninjured, although scared from the ride. The wreckers came and righted my Bronco with relative ease and without doing more damage.

      Sometime during my trip to Greene Ford, I remembered that I had two high-grade side by side 20- and 28-gague shotguns in my TruckVault, along with an F-Grade 1100, 16-gauge and a 90-T trap gun. My concern immediately switched from my Bronco to my prized collection of target and hunting guns.

      To my pleasant surprise and relief, nothing was harmed in the slightest. The vault contained many items, such as choke tubes, tools, ammo among other items that could have scratched stocks, etc. Moreover, the unattached vault never moved from its location even though the truck was bounced around considerably and landed on its side from the wreck. What a great fit!

      Congratulations on a truly great product."


    • Dez Young
      Hunting With Hank" - Outdoor Life Network
    • "When I travel in my SUV for our Hunting With Hank adventures, I store all of my valuables (with the exception of Hank) in my TruckVault. My shotguns, shells, hunting clothes, Hank's food, first aid kit, and other accessories fit easily into the generous, locked storage area. Like the name implies my items are safe and secure wherever I travel. Every outdoorsman should have a TruckVault in the vehicle."

    • Mitch Kezar
      Outdoor Photographer
    • "Whether I'm shooting photos on assignment for Filson Clothing, Cabela's, Outdoor Life or for my stock photo library of hunting and fishing images, my guns, bows, dog handling gear, and huge array of props is always with me in my two-drawer TruckVault No more hunting through stacks of boxes for film, props, ammo, arrows, or specialty tools. This is one of my favorite pieces of gear, and it's ALWAYS right there in my Toyota pickup truck! What an idea!"

    • John Strasbaugh
      Finish Carpenter
    • "My TruckVault provides excellent security for the numerous expensive tools that I carry in my pickup. As a finish carpenter, I can also appreciate the quality and durability of its construction, and it really helps me organize all my tools."

    • Jimmy Houston
      "Jimmy Houston Outdoors" -ESPN
    • "TruckVault is the neatest system for securing and organizing all my fishing and hunting equipment that I've ever seen. I own two of them for each of my Suburbans, and they really stretch the capability of my vehicle's cargo area. I always carry a lot of equipment, and I couldn't get along without my TruckVaults."
