Icon9 Stumped about a tonneau

Hey guys, I searched multiple times with no luck. If you have a link, I'd love to have it.

Problem:
I want a tonneau for my bed. Something that is strong and secure and most of all, affordable. Have had a few thiefs try to steal stuff recently. I'm thinking a roll style would be the best. I have a toolbox in the bed now. Color is not a factor for me. It doesn't need to match my truck.

Questions:
Any of you have any idea on a good brand?
Would a roll style still work with the added toolbox?
I carry a six foot ladder almost every day that sticks out the top of the tailgate. (I'm a painter) Would the roll style still work? Can I close and lock the roll style even if its not 100% closed to the tailgate?

These are the questions I have for now. Any help would be great!

specs:
2002 Ford Ranger 2 dr. Extended cab

I'm assuming you're referring to the all aluminum or polycarbonate rolling ones, not the fabric.

There are several companies that make them, RollNLock, Retrax, Access for examples.

I know for a fact they make some for beds with toolboxes, I just dont guarantee its for our mini beds.

I cant give a for sure answer on the locking if not all the way closed. I dont believe they will do that, but I dont have one.

I hope that's a start anyways.

Extang makes every style for our trucks with a toolbox version, I've been looking at them recently to get for myself. I'm pretty sure it can't be looked like halfway rolled shut.
