TANK 300 or 500 Tailgate Tool Box: Four Variants and Fitment Checks

The current JUSN tailgate tool box listing offers four choices: TANK 300 silver, TANK 300 black, TANK 500 silver and TANK 500 black. Choose the vehicle variant first, then the finish. The store listing describes compatibility with petrol TANK 300 and TANK 500 vehicles, but it does not specify a model-year range or establish fitment for diesel, HEV or PHEV versions. A matching badge alone is not a fitment approval.

This guide is based on the live product information checked 6 October 2026, not a hands-on installation test. We have not fitted or load-tested the box on either vehicle. The cover is a generic AI concept, not a photograph of the JUSN product; the three graphics are original editorial explainers. Get the exact vehicle, mounting and load details confirmed by the supplier and a qualified installer before ordering.

Which of the four variants should I select?

Current option Listed vehicle Finish What it does not prove
Tank 300 Silver TANK 300 Silver Your exact year, grade and powertrain fit.
Tank 300 Black TANK 300 Black Your exact rear accessories leave clearance.
Tank 500 Silver TANK 500 Silver All TANK 500 powertrains share mount points.
Tank 500 Black TANK 500 Black An installer can approve your planned load.

The four options are currently shown as available in the product listing. That availability can change. The listing identifies the main body as sprayed-finish plastic and the decorative parts as aluminium alloy; do not describe the entire box as aluminium. It recommends professional installation and regular fastener checks. No safe carrying capacity, installed mass or dimensioned mounting drawing is supplied in the current description, so do not invent one from a product photo.

The product choice is vehicle plus finish. The listing's stated petrol scope still requires exact model-year and build confirmation.

Will a petrol TANK 300 or TANK 500 definitely fit?

No blanket guarantee follows from the listing. It gives a model family and petrol powertrain, but not a model-year matrix, installation manual, measured clearances or a list of compatible spare-wheel carriers. Send the supplier your model year, grade, powertrain, VIN where appropriate, tailgate photographs and a list of existing rear accessories. Ask them to confirm the precise SKU and hardware for that build in writing. A TANK 500 diesel, hybrid or plug-in hybrid should not be assumed compatible just because a petrol TANK 500 variant is offered; the same caution applies to a non-petrol TANK 300.

A vehicle can also change during its life. An aftermarket spare-wheel cover, camera relocation, tow accessory, aerial or rear-door reinforcement may alter the space available. Compare the installation instructions and actual measurements against your tailgate rather than assuming an image of a different build settles the question. Our TANK 500 modification guide is broader planning context, not a substitute for accessory-specific approval.

What must remain clear behind the vehicle?

Walk around the closed and fully open tailgate. Check the spare-wheel carrier, tyre and any cover; the door's full swing; latch, hinges and seals; rear-camera view and parking-sensor operation; the number plate and rear lights. Also check whether the box can be opened with the spare wheel in place and whether its lid creates a pinch or impact point. A box that bolts on but compromises rear visibility or door operation is not a successful fit.

The store listing itself calls out tailgate clearance, spare-wheel position, camera view, plate visibility and rear-light access. Treat those as pre-purchase checks, then verify again after installation with the door closed, partly open and fully open. Do not block an essential light or plate. If the mounting requires drilling or changes to the vehicle body, ask the installer to address sealing, corrosion protection and any warranty implications before work begins.

Check the complete rear layout, not only whether the box's mounting points appear to line up.

How much gear can a tailgate box carry?

The present listing does not publish a rated payload for the box or tailgate assembly. Do not treat a metal-looking trim part, the size of the cavity or a generic off-road photo as evidence of load capacity. Ask the supplier for the box's empty mass, its approved maximum contents, how that rating was tested, and whether extra tailgate or hinge reinforcement is required for your vehicle. Consider the spare wheel and other accessories already carried by the rear door. An installer should judge the complete assembly, mounting points and operating loads, including corrugations and repeated opening.

The National Transport Commission's load-restraint guidance explains the wider principle that a load must be restrained and not create danger in transport. Small tools should be secured inside the box so they cannot strike the lid or fittings. Heavy recovery equipment should not be put on the tailgate merely because it physically fits. Keep the vehicle within all applicable mass limits and follow the manufacturer's instructions for the exact accessory.

Four questions to answer before checkout

  1. Exact vehicle: Which model year, grade and powertrain is the chosen TANK 300 or TANK 500 variant verified to fit? Are modified spare-wheel and camera arrangements supported?
  2. Mounting kit: What brackets and fasteners are supplied, where do they attach, and is drilling required? Ask for the installation manual and any seal or torque instructions.
  3. Loads and dimensions: What are the empty mass, external dimensions and documented maximum contents? How does the installer assess the tailgate, hinges and existing spare-wheel load?
  4. Post-installation checks: Can the tailgate swing and latch freely, and are the camera, plate, lights and sensors unobstructed? Who rechecks fasteners after initial use?

The practical buying answer

Select the TANK 300 or TANK 500 option for the actual vehicle, then pick silver or black. Pause if the supplier cannot confirm the year, powertrain, hardware and rear-layout compatibility, especially for a diesel or electrified version. Ask a professional installer to review the full tailgate and provide a safe loading plan. Once those checks are resolved, compare the live JUSN variants and current availability. Fitment evidence is more valuable than choosing a colour quickly.

Frequently asked questions

Does this listing cover TANK 500 diesel or PHEV?

It explicitly describes compatible petrol TANK 300 and TANK 500 models. It does not establish diesel, HEV or PHEV fitment. Request written confirmation for your exact vehicle rather than extrapolating.

Is the entire box made of aluminium?

No. The listing identifies a sprayed-finish plastic main body and aluminium-alloy decorative parts.

What is the safe load rating?

No rated load is given in the current description. Ask the supplier and installer for a documented rating and assessment of the complete tailgate assembly before carrying tools.
