Default Need ideas for rack to carry ladder

I have a 2015 F-150 Crewcab. Occasionally I need to carry a 15' ladder so I don't need permanent racks on the truck. Can anyone suggest something to carry a ladder that I can put on and take off as needed? I do have the tow hitch on the truck. I have considered something like this maybe paired with a single roof rack that would sit towards the rear of the cab roof: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HDL2DX6/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKI KX0DER

I have been thinking about this too. Is there a way to build a pole that attaches to the Box Link spot and comes up, then strap a ladder to that?

They sell ladder racks that are the width of a single ladder, you get a pair, and they drop into the stake pockets. These are easily installed and removed. They could either be stored with the ladder, or in the bed of the truck.

Here is one idea:

You could also buy a Little Giant. Got rid of my 12' ladder. That thing is awesome and highly versatile.

I just keep my BackRack on my current pickup full time, for ladders, lumber, etc.
I'll be getting one for my 2016 F-150 as well.
Makes your truck look ruff & tuff...

MANNYP, You don't need no stinking roof rack. Look at all of the pics on the left side of the ad.
