Abstract
Systems described herein relate to a stowable collapsible container for a truck bed. In one embodiment, a storage system includes a collapsible container having a footprint sized to fit within a tailgate of a truck. The collapsible container, in a collapsed state, is stowed in the tailgate with a lid of the collapsible container being flush with a bedside surface of the tailgate. In a deployed state, the lid aligns with a raised ledge in the truck bed. The storage system includes an attachment assembly. The attachment assembly mates with a tailgate attachment structure of the truck to secure the collapsible container to the tailgate when positioned thereon.
