PACK MUST BE STRONG AND SECURE.
SOLUTION
X-ONE TRUCK PACK'S SECOND-TO-NONE SECURITY & BUILD QUALITY
Ryan McNeil, President of Rescue Refrigeration, was making the switch from an old 4ARE truck cap after the recent purchase of his new Ford F-350 Super Duty pickup. There was a list of key features that Ryan knew he needed from his new truck pack, the first of which was security.
Ryan works long days and often travels far between job sites. As a result, Ryan’s truck often had thousands of dollars worth of tools and equipment in it. Losing these tools would be catastrophic. Ryan needed strength and security in his new pack, which is what drew him to the Iconic X-ONE Drop-In Truck Pack.
The X-ONE is a one piece, drop-in truck pack unit that sits securely in the bed of your truck, drastically elevating Ryan’s storage capabilities while offering additional security measures. The X-ONE is equipped with stainless steel, lockable whale-tail handles that can be secured with the owner’s key. Additionally, the rear door of the X-ONE sits inside the tailgate of the pickup truck, offering an extra layer of security as the tailgate can be kept locked to further deter thieves. Add to that the X-ONE’s 1/8” thick Marine Grade aluminum construction, and these extra security features were exactly what Ryan needed to keep his equipment safe at all times.

Pack Needs Flexible and Specialized Storage Capabilities
SOLUTION
X-ONE TRUCK PACK'S 5-DOOR CONFIGURATION, TAILORED FIT, AND INCLUDED OPTIONS
Another thing that made the X-ONE a great choice for Ryan is its customizability. Ryan’s X-ONE is tailored specifically for him and his F-350 Tremor Black Appearance with 6.5’ long bed. This includes tailoring the pack’s overall dimensions to maximize space. We also offer options such as the number of doors, orientation of shelves, interior lighting, roof rack types, the inclusion of drawers and/or bed slides, and much more - all of which Ryan took full advantage of.
Additionally, even after the truck pack leaves our shop and is installed on his truck, the storage possibilities for Ryan are endless. Thanks to the 1/8" thick aluminum construction, drilling holes for additional hooks, shelves, or in Ryan’s case Milwaukee Packout Brackets, is easy and anything added is fastened securely. This means Ryan could transform the walls of his pack however he’d like it, further optimizing his storage.
Challenge
Unit Needs to be Weather Resistant
SOLUTION
The X-ONE's Bulb Seal, Rain Gutter Design and more...
Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, it’s not uncommon for Ryan to find himself and his truck in severe weather. Rain, snow, sleet, you name it. It goes without saying that the expensive equipment he has to carry needs to stay dry. The Iconic X-ONE is designed with several features to combat the elements and keep your tools dry and clean.
Each door includes high-quality automotive bulb seal and a rain gutter design that ensures your compartments stay dry in all weather conditions. Additionally, the X-ONE’s one-piece design means that, apart from the doors and a few other bolt-on components, everything is welded into one solid unit. This construction provides a nearly complete waterproof seal, keeping the inside of your truck pack dry in almost any weather.
Ryan also chose to include the flip-up rear door option. The rear flip-up door, unlike the standard barn door style, can serve as a cover against rain, hail, snow, and more. By simply raising the rear hatch Ryan can keep himself and his equipment dry while working or waiting out the weather.
Challenge
Pack Cannot Require Modifications to His Truck
SOLUTION
Zero truck modifications are required to install an X-ONE Truck Pack
Ryan was also concerned about having to making any modifications or alterations to his brand-new Ford F-350. When Ryan first ordered his X-ONE, he sent us his truck bed dimensions and we built the pack to his exact specifications. This ensures a near-perfect fit, and with the help of the J-Bolts, the pack stays firmly in place - and nothing needs to be bolted through his truck bed. The J-Bolts clamp against the bed rails, holding his X-ONE securely in place without damaging or altering his truck in any way.
Ryan also wanted to keep the tailgate on his truck, so he opted for our standard “keep the tailgate” design. This design allows you to not have to store the tailgate elsewhere, as well as keep any technology in your tailgate, such as locks and cameras. Additionally, his tailgate locks and thus provides an extra layer of security against potential theft.
Challenge
The Truck Pack has to look as cool as his truck.
SOLUTION
Angled pack design upholds aggressive look
Ryan’s new Ford F350 Lariat Tremor Black Appearance is a cool looking truck. It was important to him that the truck storage solution he chose for the back of it complimented the truck’s tough appearance. The X-ONE isn’t designed to look like any other truck cap on the market. We design these packs to look impressive on your truck. They look strong. Secure. Badass.
Ryan also made some design choices that help the pack look great on his truck. He opted for our semi-gloss black finish with matte black handles, further complimenting his truck’s “black appearance”.
