“Manufacturer stated a tool box mounted in the truck bed caused the separation. Tool box was installed per recommendations of schmitt motors' body dept. Brackets were installed under the toolbox to keep weight off siderails. This has happened to 3 trucks we've owned in the past 3 years. Tool box has been installed 3 different ways, all with the same results. We have since traded this truck for a dodge ram truck, but still feel the problem needs to be reported. Thank you.”
