I looked up the online version of the owner's manual for your 2014 Toyota Tundra and it looks like you can tow a 5th wheel trailer. On page 161 it says that the Tow Weight Rating (TWR), which is the highest trailer weight you can tow, found on or after page 162 must not be exceeded. If you check out your owner's manual you can look up your specific Tundra to know what exactly the weight rating is.
To use a 5th wheel hitch you will first need to install a base rail kit. I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP50084-58 which will fit a 5-1/2 foot, 6-1/2 foot, or 8 foot bed.
If you have a 6-1/2 foot bed then I recommend going with the Curt A20 Slider, part # C16541. For a 5-1/2 foot or 8 foot bed I recommend going with the stationary hitch 20K, part # RP30928. If you have a 5-1/2 foot bed you will need to swap out your pin box for a Sidewinder like part # RP34FR if your trailer doesn't already have a Revolution or Sidewinder pin box. This will let you make tight turns without your trailer and cab making contact.
Sidewinder pin boxes are specific so if you have a 5-1/2 foot bed you will first need to find out what pin box number your trailer has before replacing/upgrading it.
If you can let me know what size bed you have and what your pin box number is (if you have a 5-1/2 foot bed) then I can make some recommendations for you.
