Question:Transporting a canoe.....

OK...I have a 14.5 ft. canoe and would like to transport it....any recomendations on some sort of rack to out fit my 2012 Tacoma base cab with.??

 

do you have a hitch?
Goal post type rack in the hitch & tower type rack on the cab roof.
or

the xsportser type for the truck bed kinda like a tracrac
or

I use to use one tower type rack (basically one row of a thule or yakima) on my 95 xcab & a ball mounted bike rack.
The cab load bar would set as far back on the door as I could.
I carried a 14' Mad River Canoe that way for years.

 

Sure, here's the expensive option........Thule XT422





but there are cheaper options like the goal post thing that goes into the receiver hitch. Buncha options in this thread............
