Question:
I have a 07 toyota tundra double cab with a 6.5 ft bed. Im needing to install a reese 15 k trail boss fifth wheel hitch. Do I have to use a slider plate, our just buy universal rails and get a extension plate for the hitch? Need help! Thanks.

For a 2007 Toyota Tundra, you can use the installation kit # RP30035-309. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view.
With a short bed truck, you will need a slider. I spoke with my contact at Reese and he stated that the Trail Boss is compatible with the square tube slider # RP30048. I have included a link to the installation details for the slider as well.
The other option is to keep the fixed hitch and instead install a Sidewinder on the trailer. I would need to know the make and model of the pin box, not the trailer, to determine if we have a Sidewinder that will fit. I have included a link to our FAQ article on Sidewinders for you.
