The best way to secure a canoe on a 2017 Ford F-150 is on the roof, offset to the rear with a load extender for added stability and support. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System and T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist composed of the following parts; part # RRVA150B, part # RRRLKVAH, part # RTL002, and part # DK427H. This is a great custom fit system that will look great on the truck and preform flawlessly. The best of all is that you can still use your bed space as you would normally and there's no issue with a tonneau cover.

Please note, you will still need a way to secure the canoe to the rack and for this I recommend a simple Rhino-Rack SUP and Surfboard Pad Kit part # RRRWP05 which comes with tie-downs as well.

In that case, you can either use a ball mount with multiple receivers like the Gen-Y Rebel Ball Mount part # GY72FR or offset the canoe to the front of the truck using a front mount hitch like the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31083. The front hitch option can also help you maneuver your trailer in tight parking spaces as well so that's my recommendation but either will work great for you.
