Question:
will a ladder rack work with the Switchblade 311-SWTA10A38 on my 2022 Toyota Tacoma with a 5-foot bed?

I have a great ladder rack solution for you. Unfortunately, since the Pace Edwards Switchblade Tonneau Cover # 311-SWTA10A38 completely covers your 2022 Toyota Tacoma's stake pockets, you will not be able to use any stake-mounted rack solution.
However, with that being said, the best route is the Rhino Rack T-Load Hitch # RTL002. Apart from avoiding the stake pockets completely, the T-Load comes with a mast that vertically adjusts from 42" - 64" tall. For a positioning point on the other end, you can use a single crossbar like the SeaSucker Monkey Bar # SEA54FR. You can carry kayaks, ladders, and other large cargo. If you need cam-buckle straps, I recommend the etrailer straps # E98876-4. If you plan on transporting a kayak, I recommend the etrailer Kayak Tie-Down Kit # e36ZR.
With the Extend-A-Truck, you need a 2-inch receiver. If your Tacoma does not have a hitch installed, I recommend the etrailer Hitch Receiver - 2" # e98905. This hitch is assembled here in the U.S.A. and comes with all hardware required for a bolt-on installation. For a locking hitch pin, I recommend the etrailer hitch pin # e98880.
