100% you’d have issues sliding a box over the tie downs.
I had it loaded up for a drag/drive event and had 2 large totes/storage boxes in there as well as other junk. There was enough space to twist the totes and pull them out lengthwise.
Works for what I do but definitely not ideal for all situations
