Question:

I am looking for a way to carry a 16 foot canoe with a bit of rocker 2 would be even better on a 2023 F-150 Supercab with a 67 inch bed that currently has a Bakflip MX4 tonneau cover. What ladder rack would fit this scenario? As a bonus, would a roof rack and ladder rack combo be recommended to keep the boat off the cab? Thanks!

I'd be more than happy to help out!

The ladder rack I recommend pairing with the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK76FR on your short bed 2023 Ford F-150 is the TruXedo Elevate Truck Bed Rack System # TX96NV because it not only fits with the cover but it also can be adjusted from 18" to 28" depending on what you're needing.

Then if you want to pair that with a roof rack setup I recommend the Rhino-Rack roof rack which uses the following parts:

- 59" Vortex Crossbars # RRVA150B-2
- 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA
- Fit Kit # DK427

This would be a great option considering your truck bed is only 5-1/2' long and you need to haul a 16' canoe.
