I would pick a vehicle that you want to use as a DD. I would not buy a Jeep or truck just to carry a canoe unless you wanted it to drive all the time when not towing. I carry a kayak or my friends canoe on top of my Toyota Corolla with no rack. I use two 4 in dia foam noodles across the top and two tie downs from the front of the kayak to the tow bar and two in the rear going to the back bumper. I also use a safety strap around the kayak or canoe through the windows. The front an rear straps are what stabilizes the canoe you don't need a large flat roof to carry the canoe.
