Expert Reply:
The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16468-204, will fit your 2012 Toyota Tundra with the 6-1/2ft bed. This kit uses the industry standard above bed base rails that are compatible with most hitches from Curt, Reese, Husky, Valley and Draw-Tite. This is also a custom kit that will significantly reduce install time. I have linked you to the installation instructions.
Since you have a short bed truck, I strongly recommend using a sliding fifth wheel hitch. Typically, short bed trucks do not have enough clearance between the cab and the trailer overhang to safely make a 90 degree turn.
If you are still in the market for a hitch or you do not have a sliding hitch, I recommend looking into the Curt A series sliding hitch # C23DR.
