5. The collapsible folding truck trunk of claim 1 , wherein the side wall extends around the base wall.

6. The collapsible folding truck trunk of claim 5 , wherein the side wall includes a cutout formed therein, the cutout extending from the upper edge and toward the base wall.

7. The collapsible folding truck trunk of claim 1 , further comprising a divider selectively engageable with the base wall to divide the storage cavity into two discrete regions.

8. The collapsible folding truck trunk of claim 7 , further comprising a hook and loop fastener coupled to the divider and the base wall for facilitating selective engagement between the divider and the base wall.

9. The collapsible folding truck trunk recited in claim 1 , further comprising a cover engageable with the side wall to extend over the storage cavity.

10. The collapsible folding truck trunk recited in claim 9 , wherein the cover is engageable with the side wall via at least one of a zipper and hook and loop fasteners.

11. A collapsible folding truck trunk for use in a truck bed having a wheel well and a rear end, the collapsible folding truck trunk comprising:

a base wall comprised of a plurality of base panels pivotally connected to each other; and

a side wall pivotally connected to the base wall and extending from the base wall and terminating at an upper edge, the side wall and base wall collectively defining a storage cavity;

the collapsible folding truck trunk being selectively transitional between a collapsed configuration and a deployed configuration, in the collapsed configuration, the plurality of base panels overlapping each other, in the deployed configuration, the plurality of base panels being co-planar to each other, the upper edge of the side wall moving away from the base wall as the collapsible folding truck trunk transitions from the collapsed configuration toward the deployed configuration;

the collapsible folding truck trunk being sized and structured to be placeable between the wheel well and the rear end of the truck bed when the collapsible folding truck trunk is in the deployed configuration.

12. The collapsible folding truck trunk of claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of base panels is of a quadrangular configuration.

13. The collapsible folding truck trunk of claim 11 , wherein the side wall is comprised of plurality of side wall panels.

14. The collapsible folding truck trunk of claim 11 , wherein the side wall extends around the base wall.

15. The collapsible folding truck trunk of claim 14 , wherein the side wall includes a cutout formed therein, the cutout extending from the upper edge and toward the base wall.

16. The collapsible folding truck trunk of claim 11 , further comprising a divider selectively engageable with the base wall to divide the storage cavity into two discrete regions.

17. The collapsible folding truck trunk of claim 16 , further comprising a hook and loop fastener coupled to the divider and the base wall for facilitating selective engagement between the divider and the base wall.

18. The collapsible folding truck trunk recited in claim 11 , further comprising a cover engageable with the side wall to extend over the storage cavity.

19. The collapsible folding truck trunk recited in claim 18 , wherein the cover is engageable with the side wall via at least one of a zipper and hook and loop fasteners.

20. A method of deploying a trunk in a vehicle having a wheel well, the method comprising:

placing the trunk adjacent the wheel well, the trunk comprising:

a base wall comprised of a plurality of base panels pivotally connected to each other; and

a side wall pivotally connected to the base wall and extending from the base wall and terminating at an upper edge, the side wall and base wall collectively defining a storage cavity;

at least one of the base wall and the side wall having an expandable portion;

the collapsible folding truck trunk being selectively transitional between a collapsed configuration and a deployed configuration, in the collapsed configuration, the plurality of base panels overlapping each other, in the deployed configuration, the plurality of base panels being co-planar to each other, the upper edge of the side wall moving away from the base wall as the collapsible folding truck trunk transitions from the collapsed configuration toward the deployed configuration;

conforming the expandable portion to the wheel well in response to placement of the trunk adjacent the wheel well.
