A system and method for attaching a multi-use box to a vehicle. The multi-use box includes a base portion and a lid pivotally attached thereto, with dense foam therein, having cut-outs shaped like tools to be secured therein. The method may include aligning the base portion against an interior tailgate cover of a tailgate such that a perimeter of the base portion completely resides inward of a perimeter of the tailgate. The method may include pivoting open the lid and placing fasteners through holes formed through the base portion and holes of the interior tailgate cover aligned with the holes of the base portion. Furthermore, the method may include securing tools within the cutouts and pivoting the lid to a closed position, as well as pivoting the tailgate into an upright position such that the multi-use box is within a bed of the vehicle.
