Undercover SwingCase Truck Bed Storage Box | SC203P | Fits 2015 - 2020 Ford F-150 Passenger Side https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ITPF0LM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_NS5774QDVKHGBKMTSKWA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I have this one and it works perfectly. It fits in the bed like it was built for a Tacoma, and won't interfere with any tonneau cover either.
I keep most of my tools in there and just threw two locks on it. Had for over a year with zero problems.
I have one of these guys, it is the perfect width for the bed but the quality is a little iffy. The bin is sturdy enough, and it is low profile enough to fit under a tonneau cover, but the latches and lid leave a little to be desired (see reviews on Amazon for more details)

Rubber floormats, bedcover, phone holder and I was looking at these but haven't pulled the trigger yet https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ITPF05I/ref=ox\_sc\_saved\_image\_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
I'm running Bridgestone Dueler Revo 3s (stock size) on my '03 XLT. They aren't triple peak, but they honestly could be. Fantastic traction in the snow, but I can also run them all year. Great off-road, minimal road noise at highway speed, awesome in the rain, and I like the way the tread pattern looks. I have 4x4 that I rarely use (usually pulling people that think AWD will keep them out of the snow banks). The weight in the bed is the key in winter along with the tires - I have a ShurTrax (link at end) in the bed. I prefer this over sandbags or other methods because it distributes the weight evenly over the axle, lets me use the bed still (you can throw 500lbs of stuff on top of it, and most importantly it straps down to the bed so it stays put in accidents and doesn't become a projectile like sand bags or whatever do.

I was really happy with the ShurTrax I put in the bed the last two years. Basically a giant bag you fill with water. It's got baffles to stop the sloshing around (plus it freezes solid here in Michigan for most of the winter). Plus it's anchored to the bed using straps so it won't fly forward and kill you in an accident like other heavy options people use. Also, it's only a few inches thick and can handle putting something like 500 lbs without breaking on top if you need to.

I had one of these for my old truck amd I like it. Kept jumper cables, recovery straps and hitch in it. Had room for more.

Cut out the sides of the van and mount side load boxes is about the only logical way to pull this off. I would also look at the van and spring weight limits.
Otherwise I would say re-organize the van, there is wasted space.
What's your specific need for the cross bar? I have hard tonneau, and use a cargo bar, such as this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JL0QZA/
I wouldn't use it for real heavy duty stuff, but if you have something lighter to moderate use, it works very well.
The full-bed nets kind of suck if you dont have a full load of crap in there. They're great at keeping stuff in place when its already packed, but for a few items it doesnt help too much. I've found a cargo bar to be more useful, and you can get bag/net accessories for them too.
If you have bed rails, I'd look for something that mounts off them instead. Or put D-rings behind all the rail bolts for more bungee hooks.
I'm curious if the wedge shape would allow some use for the box link system while still having a tool box.
And this one just more expensive
I don't need much but I'd rather not end up having a dirty ass tow rope and jumper cables inside the cab etc. But My truck is mostly black so I really don't want raw aluminum.
Edit: Nevermind first one it's not really wide enough.
I have one of these guys: http://www.amazon.com/Smittybilt-2746-Universal-Secure-Black/dp/B003CGGTUY
The base screws or bolts to the floor. The safe portion takes a quarter turn of the key to release it from the base, and another quarter turn to open. It was pretty easy to hide in my Jeep, and it would take a prybar to get it out.
I've seen things like this, I'm not sure how much a plate of steel weighs, but this may be comparable and be easier for folks!
