    I use my oem roof rack to carry my 10.5 kayak but it only weighs about 50 lbs. I would assume that your canoe is much heavier and yours is a Access Cab so, so much for that.

    I thought about going with
    $1,050 Thule Xsporter Pro Multi-Height Aluminum Truck Rack, Silver, One Size
    This but I didn't want to lose my bed cover. I would actually prefer to have that set up but I like being able to put all my stuff in the bed out of the weather and out of sight. I might just get a Snug Top shell with a rack on top of it because I like to spend money that I don't have lol.

    Sometimes I find the best racks on Chive. Doesn't help much with your canoe carrying though.

    Eric with ANB Fabrication did an excellent job on my rack. The main purpose was to hold my canoe and mountain bikes. Here are a few other pics that show off the rack a little better.

    if you have a short box the front bar will not drop all of the way down as it hits the wheel well.

    Thule, Yakima , Trac Rack take your pick. Trac Rack has the largest load capacity of the three. They will all easily carry a canoe
