The ALB Classic Box 185 (formerly the Aluminess Deluxe Box) is the straightforward version of the 185: the same tough aluminum box and door hardware as the Explorer, without the bundled extras. It gives tools, camp gear or a generator a secure, weatherproof home outside the van, so the inside stays clear for living or work. Mount it on an Aluminess rear door ladder or tire rack on a Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit or Ram ProMaster, or on an Aluminess swing-arm rear bumper on a Ford Econoline or Chevy Express/GMC Savana. Want a pre-installed shelf and an outer accessory plate? Step up to the ALB Explorer Box 185 bundle.
Ladder, rack or bumper not included.
Aluminess rates the Classic Box 185 for any van type, as long as it's paired with an Aluminess rear door ladder or rear door tire rack; it also mounts on Aluminess swing-arm bumpers. That covers Aluminess rear door racks and ladders for the Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster, and Aluminess swing-arm rear bumpers for the Ford Econoline and Chevy Express/GMC Savana.
Pair it with an Aluminess mount from High Top Vans: Transit driver-side box and tire rack, Transit rear door rack base unit, ProMaster rear door tire and box rack, ProMaster rear door ladder (box rack sold separately), or a dual swing-arm rear bumper for the Chevy Express and GMC Savana or Ford Econoline, or the Slimline rear bumper for the 2019–2024 Sprinter.
Aluminess designs its products for factory-built vehicles, and some aftermarket conversions are not compatible. If your van has been modified, check fitment with High Top Vans before you order.
Stock is limited and lead times may apply. Ask High Top Vans for the current lead time.
