Hello John. We do offer ladder racks that fit the 2024 Toyota Tacoma short bed, but nothing with an over cab or cantilever portion. A ladder rack like the Malone TradeSport Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops # MAL55VR will work great for carrying larger work items like ladders and stuff like that. It has an 800 lb capacity so it can handle quite a bit of gear. The rack itself is made of aluminum so it is lightweight and rustproof. Since there are no over the cab options, this will be your best bet.
If you want cargo carrying capacity for the roof, the only option is to install a track system and a roof rack like the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y02-490B.
I have provided a link to our install/review video for this rack below.
