For a crossover-style tool box that is confirmed to fit your 2013 Toyota Tundra (6-1/2 foot bed), I recommend the UWS Truck Bed Toolbox w/ Pull Handles - Crossover Style - Low Profile - 8.4 cu ft - Matte Black # UWS07644. The UWS toolbox has a crossover style and has an overall dimension of 69-7/8" long x 20" wide x 14-1/2" tall. This will give you plenty of space to store your tools when you are either working out of the garage or at the work site.
As far as a ladder rack for ladders and lumber, I recommend the Rola Haul-Your-Might T3 Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 800 lbs # 59799 if you have a deck rail system on your 2013 Toyota Tundra. Since the UWS toolbox will cover your front stake pockets, the Haul-Your-Might T3 is a great alternative for you to use because it mounts onto your trucks bed rails instead of the stake pockets. If you do not have a deck rail system, I recommend the Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops - Steel - 800 lbs # EM07706. The Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack comes with top loadstops to keep your ladders or lumber from shifting while transporting.
If you need straps to secure your cargo on your ladder rack, I recommend the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps w/ Push Button Releases - 1" x 6' - 500 lbs - Qty 4 # EM34420. A great feature about these straps is the bush-button mechanism that automatically retracts the straps when activated.
