Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Toyota Tundra with a 6-1/2 foot bed the slider hitch I would recommend is the Demco Hijacker AutoSlide # DM8550034 because it will automatically slide back as you make tight turns which mean you'll never have to remember to activate the slider, or have to get out of the truck and manually operate a manual slider.
Now for a rail kit the best option is a custom fit kit like the part # RP50084-58 which is custom fit for your truck so it will minimize drilling and install time when compared to a universal kit like what Demco offers for your truck. This rail kit is perfectly compatible with the Demco hitch as well.
