Expert Reply:

I can help you find a way to transport your canoe with your 2016 Chevy Colorado.

If you wanted to get a ladder rack to transport your canoe I recommend the TracRac # TH37002XT-EX it fits both 5 foot bed or 6 foot beds, and would double as a way to transport your canoe. This TracRac is a no drill application so it would be removable, it also includes a over-the-cab extension if your canoe is extra long.

Another option would be to get a hitch mounted load extender like the Rhino-Rack T-Load # RTL002 and use it in combination with a roof rack crossbar. The Thule WingBar setup which includes crossbars # TH711420 (black) or # TH711400 (silver), foot pack # TH480R , and fit kit # THKIT1714 are the custom fit for your 2016 Chevrolet Colorado's roof.

Depending on how long your canoe is you may need bow and stern tie-down straps like # TH855XT or cinch straps like # TH523 to secure your canoe to the rack.

I have linked all the load extenders and roof racks for your truck for your convenience.
