The punchline has been, paying a good bit more for a storage box than the hitch kit cost.
Due to length of the stabilising arms and total weight of the kit, it required a fairly large, heavy-duty toolbox. I plan to not keep this on the ute, mostly it isn’t needed and would either take up load capacity or tempt thieves. At least it will also have room for my chains and other towing/recovery gear.
Haven’t done any towing of note lately, either. But it’s nice to be safely prepared.
