Is my new 2023 Tundar enough TV for an Ollie? Please advise!

The payload is OK, I think it is over well over 800 pounds. I haven’t found that darned payload sticker yet. And the salesman assured me it had the Tow Package, but I can’t find the receiver! I admit that I did have a really hard time understanding him… but Google Translate was really helpful! .😬

I really hope this truck will work, if not can I modify it? Maybe 2000 pound airbags? (Those will increase my payload to 2800, correct?) I already placed an order for a new Ollie LE2 with all the options! BTW, I will be primarily boondocking in the Colorado High country, and I also hope to drive to the Arctic Circle... so I am also looking for an in-bed fuel tank, not too big, maybe 100 gallons. So far I haven’t found one. Please help. Thanks in advance!

🤣 That’s the same size 3 cylinder 1 liter engine that was in my 2008 Smart Fortwo Cabriolet. Who knew I could tow so much with it! 😄

How did you purchase that China Tundar?

Funny that your pictures on your post are the same pictures in the link you provided!

John, I know you are a Toyota person and that's ok, for myself we have a Toyota built Lexus. I myself living in Texas and Toyota Tundra's being built here I would have to go with one of the Texas built vehicles. There must be a big difference in price between the two Tundra's so maybe that will work for some. I would also keep in mind factory warrantees and where would you get warrantee work done here in the U.S. Maybe I missed something here as to dealers, service work, etc., but it wouldn't be for me. For myself I have to have styling as well as performance, so this vehicle would be out for me. I know I'm selling our trailer, so my comment on this vehicle is probably and is only my opinion of said vehicle, so if it works for some, go for it.
