Expert Reply:
I recommend using the Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender - 2" Hitches - Aluminum - 300 lbs # Y01149 to carry your canoe on your 2021 Ram 2500. The Yakima Bed Extender will extend 4' from your 2" hitch, giving you the extra length you need to carry your canoe. It has 3 adjustable settings so you can get the custom setting you need.
Yakima has some good accessories that will come in handy when using the bed extender: the Crossbar Pad for Yakima LongArm Load Extender - 28" Long - Qty 1 # Y07417 will protect your canoe when sitting on the extender itself and the Yakima HitchLock for Yakima Hitch Mounted Bike Racks - Same Key System (SKS) Item # Y07235 which will protect your bed extender from walking away.
