Automatic Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for 2016 Toyota Tundra
Question:
Looking for a 5th wheel and rail for a 2016 toyota tundra sr5 with a 6 1/2foot bed. Will a slider be required? Prefer no drilling.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Since you have a short bed truck you have to go with a slider hitch to allow you the needed clearance to make sharp turns. Since getting out and activating a slider mechanism on a fifth wheel hitch can be a hassle a great solution is an automatic sliding fifth wheel hitch like the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550034 which will slide back as you make tight turns.
Then for a custom fifth wheel rail kit for your 2016 Toyota Tundra we have the part # DM8552020-71 which will minimize drilling and install time on your truck over a universal style kit.
