The 2007 Toyota Tundra CrewMax comes with a 5-1/2 foot bed so you will need to use a fixed hitch with the 5th Airborne king pin with Sidewinder to get the needed clearance between the truck cab, and the front of the fifth wheel.
The size of hitch you will need depends on the weight of the fifth wheel you will be towing. If 16,000 lbs gross towing weight will work I would use the Reese 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch, part # RP30047. The installation kit you will need is the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit, part # RP30035-309. I am including links to the installation instructions on the hitch and the installation kit.
To choose the correct 5th Airborne with Sidewinder you will need to use a Sidewinder that is compatible with the pin box on your trailer. The pin box manufacturer name and model number should be listed on the pin box and is normally on a sticker that is attached to the pin box. If the pin box is covered by molded plastic, you may need to remove some of the plastic to see the manufacturer name and model number. Once you have the name and model you can use the chart on our Sidewinder page, see link, to select the correct Sidewinder for your trailer.
I am including a link to a FAQ page on fifth wheel hitch information.
