Can 2021 Toyota Tundra with 5-1/2 ft Bed Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
Question:
Will this adapter work with the BandW 1257 gooseneck hitch, or is the post too long. If not, looking for a slider setup or possibly the Anderson Ultimate to get additional cab clearance on the 2021 Tundra 5 1/2 ft. bed. Currently have 32” from hitch pin center to cab. Looking for advice on best options. Thanks.

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.
