In my experience "hot weather tomato plants" can produce in *very slightly* hotter weather than non-heat tolerant tomatoes. Maybe a few degrees. You won't find any tomato that can produce in any heat. I'm outta business after June. Of course, I get started in February.

I believe that temps have to get below 75F at night. If they don't, you're sunk.

It is a common myth that "heat tolerant" tomatoes can tolerate any heat.

Ok thank you for the tip, at night here it lingers between 55-65 so I think the daytime heat would be the main killer here..

In that case, it isn't obvious that you'd need heat-tolerant tomatoes.

The various cherry tomatoes have the best heat tolerance in my experience. I've had a little luck with normal size tomatoes on the patio in containers, but they all stop growing when the highs get around 110-115 and the lows are in the mid-high 80s. At that point you just have to keep them alive by keeping them in the shadiest part of the patio and keeping the bottom half of the soil barely moist in the container.

It's a lot less work to plant new ones in the fall, even if you have to start them indoors in the summer.

I've never had any luck with strawberries here past spring. I have a hula berry patch in the middle of my yard for the past few years but they never grow berries since they need a pollinator and it's the only variety that I've found that lives through our summer.

Plus keep in mind that your planting season would be quite a bit earlier/later in the year than for all of us in the more temperate climates. Not sure, but likely more in late fall to early winter months. Plus given some of what I have read on other SW Gardening forums in the past, parts of AZ require at least a partially climate controlled structure to grow tomatoes at all.
