A tailgate toolbox assembly for a pickup truck includes a toolbox having an attachment member mounted on an inner side of the pickup tailgate and a tool storage compartment pivotally hinged to the attachment member. The attachment member and tool storage compartment both extend substantially the length of the tailgate. The toolbox also has supports extending between the tool storage compartment and the attachment member at each end of the tailgate. The tailgate toolbox assembly further includes a rigid cover, such as a tread plate, for the toolbox. The tread cover plate is shaped to protect the toolbox and to permit mobile equipment to be loaded and unloaded thereover onto the pickup bed. The toolbox assembly being attached to the tailgate and in a closed position can be moved downward until horizontal and the tool storage compartment can then be pivoted upward until vertical to reveal tools stored therein. In the horizontal open usage position the attachment member being in the form of a flat sheet provides a workbench with the tools being readily accessible thereabove.
