I have a possible solution for you.
First, though, since the Tyger tonneau covers for a 2017 Ram 1500 cover the rails, there is not a ladder rack available. They need the rails unobstructed to install.
However, there is another option for carrying your canoe, and that is to use a roof rack on wheels. I recommend the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer, part # MAL73FR. This trailer has 7' bunks that can handle canoes and kayaks up to 225 pounds. The boats can be up to 14' long, the coupler works with a 2" hitch ball.
I've linked to a video review of this trailer for you to look at.
