Almost but not quite and it depends.
I'm pulling around a 19.5' 5th wheel. It's got a 4400lb GVWR WET. Pulls great and rides WAY better than my brother in-laws 21' pull-type.
One of my coworkers is pulling a 24' 5th wheel with a slide, maxing out the GCVW. He claims it pulls alright. I haven't travelled with him so I won't comment. I'd also never hook up to his trailer with my truck.
With the SC and a generous right foot I have no trouble maintaining speed limits through the Rocky Mountains between Alberta and BC. I'm an advocate of the tandem axle 5th wheel as an option. Additionally, because of the 5th wheel configuration, I've got only about 12' from the bumper to the wheels of the trailer which allows for excellent manouverability. Beats the travel trailer all to hell when I'm parking and I don't reset the hitch location.
The box of the tundra is interesting. Not only is it short, but compared to domestics, the axle location is far forward. My tow setting puts the pin over the axle as recommended by the hitch maufacturer. I don't have the option of putting the pin ahead of the axle, though this hasn't been an issue. If I was to reset the hitch location, I could park perpendicular to the trailer with ease.
For a small trailer, my 5th wheel is hard to beat.
