  1. This was a perfect first post topic for me.... @rna you have nearly the exact setup we have (at least the truck part for now). 2018 Tundra Crewmax and hoping to tour the plant and purchase an EII next month. I plan on putting an S/C on my truck (I've done that on two previous Toyota trucks...big difference and there is that fun factor...). However, as you noted I'll run out of payload before pulling power. Love my Toyotas, unfortunately the payload is the limiting factor. I'll beef up the rear suspension because with the TRD pro suspension I put on it, already squats a bit with bike rack/bikes and some gear in the bed. Nothing that some shackles and firestone airbags can't fix...still doesn't increase payload but will ensure my truck is level when hitched up. I plan on taking my Tundra to a weigh station to get an accurate weight for piece of mind. I've done a lot of mods to the truck that no doubt added weight and my door sticker likely is at least a few hundred pounds off from actual weight. I found Oliver by doing a ton of research (as most people on forums do...) actually on the Escape forum. I was interested in their small 5th wheel, but as you noted (and I eventually learned) payload on these trucks is pretty small. That's the trade off from a smooth ride unloaded compared to say an F250 unloaded. Great info in your post and we are looking forward to making a trip to TN in the coming weeks.
