Question:
I have a 2024 Tundra Hybrid, crew cab, 66 inch bed. The truck has extra horsepower and torque because of the hybrid system. In addition, I had air bags installed to help level when I pull my travel trailer. I am looking at a Forest River Sabre 5th wheel, with a dry weight of 9500 lbs. what would I need to get to put in one of your sliders on this Tundra, and how much and can you recommend an installer in the Soring, Texas area? Thank uou

Hey Doug, thanks for the information and congrats on your protentional new trailer. The only way to mount a 5th wheel hitch in your 2024 Toyota Tundra Hybrid is to install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit item # BW96FR. It fits all three bed lengths and the hybrid models of the 2024 Tundra's. This system includes custom fit brackets that bolt into existing holes in your Tundra's frame. The only drilling you will need to do is in the bed when you add the holes for the receiver and the safety chains.
You'll then be able to install the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BWRVK3400. This sliding 5th wheel hitch has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will provide you with 12" of travel towards your tailgate for making tight turns. The Companion will insert inside the square receiver tube of the B&W item # BW96FR.
Please note that the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # DM8550034, you were looking at, is not compatible with the B&W Gooseneck Hitch item # BW96FR. There is no way to mount the Demco in your 2024 Toyota Tundra.
To find a local installer in Soring Texas, you'll want to go to the product page of the B&W Gooseneck Hitch item # BW96FR and scroll down below the pics on the left side you'll see a box that says, SCHEDULE AN INSTALLATION. Go ahead and click on it and it will take you to a page where you'll be able to enter your zip code. Once you do this you'll be connected to our network of reputable installers in your area.
What kind of pinbox does the Forest River Sabre you're looking at have? You will want to make sure it's not a rotating one like a Reese Revolution. Those will not work with the B&W item # BW96FR.
Also what air bag kit did you install on your truck? My information has the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs W217602628 our item # F89VV being the only option compatible with an in bed hitch.
You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.
