I do have a custom fifth wheel installation kit option that is confirmed to fit your 2013 Toyota Tundra, however, I spoke with my contact at Curt and he told me that they have not tested their Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16468-204, with a 2013 Tundra yet. Toyota did redesign the 2013 Tundra, but they said they did not make any changes to the frame.
Curt expects that their custom fifth wheel brackets from the 2012 Tundra will carry over to the 2013 model, but because of the redesign, they cannot guarantee the fit since it has not been tested. Unfortunately they could not give me a time frame on when the testing will be completed.
I can tell you that the Curt custom brackets would fit on a 2012 Tundra if it has a Class III rear mounted hitch installed, but Curt told me that it will not fit with a Class IV or V rear mounted trailer hitch. The Class IV and V hitches have an additional support bracket that uses the same holes in the frame as their fifth wheel brackets.
We do have the Reese Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # RP50084-58, that has been tested by Reese and is confirmed to fit your 2013 Tundra. My contact at Reese also told me that their custom brackets will work with a Class IV or V rear mounted trailer hitch. I will send you the installation instructions for this kit in a separate email.
If you currently have a rear mounted Class IV or V trailer hitch that uses the same holes in the frame as the fifth wheel bracket, then you will need to remove the spacers between the rear mounted trailer hitch and the truck frame. Once the spacers are removed, the rear most fifth wheel brackets will install in place of the spacers between the rear mounted hitch support brackets and the truck frame.
As you will notice in the installation instructions, the brackets that come with this kit are 4 individual brackets, 2 rear and 2 front brackets. They will not interfere with your shocks or suspension because, once they are installed, they will sit in front of and behind the rear shocks.
