• Can 2014 Toyota Tundra Tow 8,000 lb Trailer
  There is a pretty wide range for the towing capacity for your 2014 Toyota Tundra with the 5.7 liter V8. Looks to be between 9,000 lbs and 10,400 lbs depending on cab size and 4WD status.

• Can 2012 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 ft Bed Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
  Great question, so the payload is more or less the weight capacity of the truck's bed whereas fifth wheel rail kits attach directly to the truck frame and just go through the bed. This is why a truck with a lighter payload can still tow a trailer with a heavier pin weight. So for your 2012 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 foot bed you would need a slider hitch that has more sliding clearance that the typical number of around 12 inches like with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550040 which can...

• 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.

  The Curt adapter part # 16310 does fit the B and W Turnoverball hitch but since your 2021 Toyota Tundra has a 5-1/2 foot bed there isn't going to be a way to use the Andersen Ultimate and have enough turning clearance.

  I just called my contact at Demco and if your fifth wheel trailer weighs 13,000-lbs or less, we have a fifth wheel setup that will work for you. You would need part # DM8550040. This is the Demco Autoslide and it has 22-1/2 inches of travel, which will work great for 5-1/2 and 6-ft truck beds. The Hijacker SL Series fifth wheel like part # DM6076SL-16K, does not give you enough travel with a 5-1/2 ft truck bed. The DM6076SL-16K has 8-inches of travel. The above-bed rails and under-bed...

• Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Toyota Tundra 6-1/2 foot Bed
  For your 2016 Toyota Tundra we have fifth wheel hitch solutions available, but B and W does not have any fits for the 2007+ Toyota Tundras so I have nothing from them that I can recommend. Instead I would recommend the Demco Hijacker hitch setup that includes part # DM8550034 for the hitch and then part # DM8552020-71 for the rail kit. This is an auto-slider hitch that will allow you to make turns without having to get out and activate a slider every time.
