Yes, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller # 16516 will be a fit for your 2017 Toyota Tundra 6-1/2' bed. You'll just need some base rails like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Toyota Tundra # C16468-204 for the hitch to mount to.

I do want to note that the E16 is a base level hitch that's designed to get the job done without all the best features. It has a slide bar jaw, which is going to allow for enough play to be noisy while towing. If you don't plan on towing that much this is a great hitch, but if you're planning on regularly taking your camper out you might want to look more into some comfort features for a smoother ride.

If this is something that interests you then I recommend the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270 along with the B&W 5th Wheel Installation Kit with Spacers for Toyota Tundra # BWRVR3204-00. B&W is an American made brand that's known for their quality. The head of this hitch has bushings to for a quieter ride and the tilting head will make hooking up to your trailer much easier and help with chucking.
