I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, there isn't a ladder rack that will work with your canopy because your canopy covers the truck's bed rails as well as the stake pockets (which are the two attachment points for ladder racks).

With that being said, a great solution is the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches # RTL002. The Extend-A-Truck will provide you a rear mounting point for a ladder or other long cargo (such as a kayak or canoe) on your hitch receiver. The vertical adjustment for from the top of the hitch opening telescopes from a height of 42" - 64". For the other end, I recommend using the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B. You can use one or both of the included bars depending on what you're carrying and if you feel it needs the additional support or not.

The Extend-A-Truck requires a 2-inch hitch receiver. If you need a hitch receiver for your 2006 Ford F-150, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13360. The # C13660 comes with all hardware necessary for an easy, bolt-on installation. Both hitches require an etrailer Hitch Pin and Clip for 2", 2-1/2", and 3" Hitches - 4-1/2" Span # e65TR.
