• Can 2012 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 ft Bed Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
  Great question, so the payload is more or less the weight capacity of the truck's bed whereas fifth wheel rail kits attach directly to the truck frame and just go through the bed. This is why a truck with a lighter payload can still tow a trailer with a heavier pin weight. So for your 2012 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 foot bed you would need a slider hitch that has more sliding clearance that the typical number of around 12 inches like with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550040 which can...

• Automatic Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2018 Toyota Tundra Short Bed
  It is always beneficial to have a good safety margin in any towing system and even with the lowest-rated hitches which are 15K you will get that. But as you go up in weight rating there will be more worthwhile features available. So, I suggest not focusing on weight capacity and instead selecting a hitch with features that will enhance your towing experience even if it is rated higher than you might need. I strongly recommend Demco's Hijacker Autosliding Hitch # DM8550034 and the matching...

• Can I Tow Jayco Fifth Wheel Trailer With 2013 Toyota Tundra
  I found the owner's manual for the 2013 Toyota Tundra and it depends on the engine and model if it can safely tow the Jayco. The empty weight of the Jayco is 7355 lbs but that does not include cargo. The Jayco fully loaded can weigh up to 9995 lbs according to the Jayco website.

  The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit, # C16116 can be made to fit in most any truck including a 2019 Toyota Tundra.

  The 13K versions of the Demco Hijacker, part # DM8550040, actually do have 22-1/2" of clearance. The 18K # DM8550034 and 21K # DM8550035 versions are the ones that have the 14" of clearance.

This is the Demco Autoslide and it has 22-1/2 inches of travel, which will work great for 5-1/2 and 6-ft truck beds.

• Can 2021 Toyota Tundra with 5-1/2 ft Bed Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
  The Curt adapter part # 16310 does fit the B and W Turnoverball hitch but since your 2021 Toyota Tundra has a 5-1/2 foot bed there isn't going to be a way to use the Andersen Ultimate and have enough turning clearance. You'll need a slider hitch like the Demco part # DM8550040 which has ability to slide back 22-1/2 inches (most hitches only provide about half this). You'll need a rail kit that fits your truck like the Demco rail kit part # DM8552020-71 then to use this hitch.

• Can 2014 Toyota Tundra Tow 8,000 lb Trailer
  There is a pretty wide range for the towing capacity for your 2014 Toyota Tundra with the 5.7 liter V8. Looks to be between 9,000 lbs and 10,400 lbs depending on cab size and 4WD status. That being said you should be fine towing a trailer in the 8,000 lb range. Since you have a standard bed which is 6-1/2 feet long you would need a slider hitch like the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550034 and then a custom install rail kit part # DM8552020-71 which is a confirmed fit for your truck.
