  • Recommended 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch for a 2016 Toyota Tundra CrewMax w/ a 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    The best 5th wheel hitch combination for your 2016 Toyota Tundra CrewMax is going to be the Demco Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails item # DM8552020-71, the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # DM8550040, and the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails item # 16055. Since your CrewMax has the super short 5-1/2' bed you are extremely limited with options. The only way to pull a 5th wheel trailer with this short of a truck bed is to use the Demco Autoslide...

  • Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch that Fits 2021 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 ft Bed
    For truck beds shorter than 6 foot like the 5.5 foot bed of your 2021 Toyota Tundra you have to go with a slider hitch that slides further than the standard amount which is around 10 or 12 inches. For that we have one really great option with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550040 which can slide back 22-1/2 inches. It actually slides automatically as you make tight turns so that's one less thing to think about. Then to install it you will need a set of rails that fits your truck...

    There is only one fifth wheel hitch solution we have for your 2018 Toyota Tundra with a 5-1/2 foot bed to tow a trailer with the Atwood pin box you mentioned. While most slider fifth wheel hitches will slide back around 12 inches to allow for turning clearance the Demco 13k Auto Slider part # DM8550040 is the only hitch that will slide back 22-1/2 inches which will give your short bed truck the clearance needed. Anytime a truck bed is shorter than 6 feet more slider clearance is needed...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit For 2021 Toyota Tundra With 5-1/2' Bed
    I would be happy to help! For your 2021 Toyota Tundra with the 5-1/2' bed there are two options for a 5th wheel hitch, a sliding hitch designed for super short bed trucks, or a rotating pin box on your trailer to give the additional turning clearance and a fixed hitch. if your trailer does not already have a rotating pin box I recommend going with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 13,000 lbs # DM8550040 which is designed for trucks...

  • Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 foot Bed
    For as short of a bed as your 2011 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 foot bed has there is only one slider hitch that will give you enough clearance to make a tight turn. For that you'd want the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550040 which will automatically slide back 22-1/2 inches as you make tight turns. Then for a rail kit you'd want the part # DM8552020-71 which is a confirmed fit for your truck. This hitch has a 13k capacity but you'd need to check the owners manual of your truck for the truck's capacity.

  • Can 2018 Toyota Tundra with 5-1/2 ft Bed Tow a Fifth Wheel Trailer
    Since your truck bed is shorter than 6 feet in length a standard slider hitch still wouldn't give you enough turning clearance but we do have one option that would give you enough clearance as it slides back 22-1/2 inches instead of the normal distance which is around 10-12 inches. For that you'd want the Demco Hijacker AutoSlide part # DM8550040 which actually slides back automatically as you make tight turns to give you the needed clearance without requiring you to get out and manually...

  • Do You Need A Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch If You Have A 6-1/2 Foot Truck Bed.
    Yes, I highly recommend getting a sliding 5th wheel hitch. Some newer RVs will have contoured and rounded edges that will help give more clearance for turning but it still isn't enough sometimes. **B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs # BWRVK3270. *B&W 5th Wheel Installation Kit with Spacers for Toyota Tundra # BWRVR3204-00.

  • Automatic Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for 2008 Toyota Tundra
    For an automatic sliding fifth wheel hitch for your 2008 Toyota Tundra the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550034 would be a fantastic option. The custom install rail kit you need then is the part # DM8552020-71. The only issue you may have is interference with the air bag kit you have installed. Do you know what brand you have so that I can check to see if it will fit with an in-bed rail kit?

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit for Towing with 2013 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 ft Bed
    For your 2013 Toyota Tundra with a 5-1/2 foot bed there is only one fifth wheel slider hitch that has enough clearance to allow you to make tight turns without cab interference. For that you'd need the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550040 with the custom fit install kit part # DM8552020-71 which fits your truck. Your tailgate will be able to shut with this setup. There isn't a manual slider out there that would have enough turning clearance.

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for a 2016 Toyota Tundra Short Bed
    Yes, you can put a slider 5th wheel trailer hitch in your 2016 Toyota Tundra short bed. First you will need an installation kit. I recommend Demco installation kit # DM8552020-71. The kit includes the rails, brackets, and hardware for installation. For a hitch I recommend the 18K HiJacker auto-slide hitch # DM8550034. This hitch provides 14 inches of travel for clearance when making tight turns. And it slides automatically so you won't have to get in and out of the truck to operate the...

  • Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2008 Toyota Tundra 6-1/2 ft Bed
    Since your 2008 Toyota Tundra has a bed length shorter than 8 feet you will need to go with a slider fifth wheel hitch setup. There isn't a way to give you the needed clearance with a gooseneck setup. There aren't any offset adapters that would provide enough clearance. My favorite slider hitch is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide hitch part # DM8550034 which automatically slides back 14 inches around corners to give you the needed clearance. For a rail kit you then would want the custom install...

  • Is The B&W Companion 5TH Wheel Hitch Compatible With Turnover Ball On 2015 Toyota Tundra Short Bed?
    With the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1257 on your 2015 Toyota Tundra you will be able to use the Fixed B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3500 but you will need to contact B&W to have the correct attachment sent to you for the Toyota hitch.

    I took a look at the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88299 that you mention, and it appears that the: -Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Semi-Custom Install Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches # DM8552020-71 isn't going to be compatible due to the mounting bracket locations being the same. Instead, take a look at the: -Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2445. These air springs are compatible with an in-bed hitch,...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2007 Toyota Tundra 6-1/2 foot Bed
    I attached a picture that shows the difference between the cab styles of your 2007 Toyota Tundra. Basically the CrewMax is a wider set of rear doors. So for a fifth wheel hitch setup that fits your 2007 Toyota Tundra 6-1/2 foot bed we have the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550034 which would be your best option. This slider hitch automatically slides back as you make tight turns to allow you cab/trailer clearance. For a rail kit you'd then want the part # DM8552020-71 which is a confirmed...

  • Will Demco 13K Autoslider Provide Enough Turning Clearance for 2019 Toyota Tundra Crew Max
    The 13K versions of the Demco Hijacker, part # DM8550040, actually do have 22-1/2" of clearance. The 18K # DM8550034 and 21K # DM8550035 versions are the ones that have the 14" of clearance. The difference between these is that the 13K hitches are for pickups with beds shorter than 6'. like your 2019 Toyota Tundra Crew Max, while the 18K and 21K are meant for pickups with a short bed more around the 6-1/2' range. The Hijacker Autosliders are actually superior to the PullRite SuperGlide...

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for 2018 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 Foot Bed with Air Bags
    I am assuming that your 2018 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 foot bed does not already have any sort of 5th wheel rails so the first thing we ill need to look at is an installation kit. Looking at how the various air bag kits install on your truck it doesn't look like they will interfere with 5th wheel frame brackets so that is good. You can use Demco installation kit # DM8552020-71. This will allow you to place the hitch so that when the trailer is attached the king pin will be centered over the...
