If you are looking for a very high capacity hitch confirmed to fit your 2014 Toyota Tundra that has a factory hitch you would want the TorkLift Hitch part # TLT1300H. Here are it's capacities:

Maximum gross trailer weight: 8,000 lb
Maximum GTW when used with weight distribution: 15,000 lbs
Maximum tongue weight: 800 lb
Maximum TW when used with weight distribution: 1,500 lbs

The Curt hitch # C15398 that you referenced isn't designed for vehicles with factory hitches and there's no safe way to convert yours so that it could be used with it.

You will want to check the owners manual of your truck to determine towing capacities as well.
