How do you get a a canoe on your truck?
I already have a cartop carrier that will fit on my Toyota Tundra, but I can't see a practcal way to get a 17 foot 75 pound Grumman Standard canoe up there, I'm only 5' 10" and my wife is even shorter...

Used to put a 200 pound 14 foot aluminum boat onto the top of a Suburban by leaning the bow of it on the rear rack and pushing. I'm only 5'5" so I needed to climb on a milk crate to deal with tie downs. Spacing of roof racks, location of rear rack are critical if you want to do one man loading.
Kind of how campnfamily describes it, though I had to do it all from rear and sides of vehicle, no bed to climb into.
But that was almost 50 years ago, don't do that stuff today, though I'm pretty sure I could still get your canoe onto racks on the top of my van.
Somebody used to make a swinging arm device for a trailer ball to load boats to the racks atop a vehicle. I bet somebody still does.
