Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle body having a truck bed at least partially defined by a floor, a forward wall, sidewalls, and a tailgate. A pair of outboard support bars are each coupled to and extend over one sidewall, and a vertical inner open area is defined between the support bar and the sidewall. A vertical storage module is disposed in the open inner area and includes a shell defining an inner storage area. A door is rotatably coupled to the shell to selectively enclose the inner storage area.
