Question:
I have a short bed Toyota tundra 2018 crew cab limited. I bought a 5th wheel RV Coachman Chaparral 274BH, 2025 year, 8692 GVWR. What automatic slider hitch do I need? Thank you

Hey Scott, since your 2018 Toyota Tundra Crewmax has a bed length of 5-1/2 feet the automatic slider fifth wheel hitch kit you would need would be the Demco Hijacker part # DM28XV which comes with the correct rail kit for your truck as well. This hitch automatically will slide back 22-1/2 inches which is how far you would need since your bed is a very short bed. Have you towed a fifth wheel trailer before?
