Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit for Towing with 2013 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 ft Bed
Question:
Will my 2013 Tundra double cab 5.7 tow a 5 Th wheel Jayco Eagle HT 27 .5 RLTS, unloaded vehicle weight 7970, dry hitch weight1,560 and gross vehicle weight 9,995 . What manual slide hitch and pin set up I should use. Will the tale gate be able to close once the fifth wheeler is hook up? Thanks

Expert Reply:
For your 2013 Toyota Tundra with a 5-1/2 foot bed there is only one fifth wheel slider hitch that has enough clearance to allow you to make tight turns without cab interference. For that you'd need the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550040 with the custom fit install kit part # DM8552020-71 which fits your truck. Your tailgate will be able to shut with this setup.
There isn't a manual slider out there that would have enough turning clearance.
