Pretty much normal, IME. My lightly optioned F150 cc had only 1300# payload. My current Frontier has only 1160#. I think you are correct that many people ignore payload or have arrived at some justification for going over. People don't like to be told they can't do stuff. Bubba, hold my beer...

Yep, I'd wonder about the cost unless someone already had an extra bike battery. A 50Ah LiTime 12V is available from Amazon for well under $200.

Really like the round headlights of the 1958. (y)

I agree, go with a legit bike shop brand. Trek, Specialized, Giant, REI, whatever is convenient to you. If the kid isn't impaired in some way I question the need for an ebike, exercise is good.

The 4Runner comes with "built in Japan" quality. I'd consider the hybrid for the big boost in HP and torque. Toyota knows hybrid tech.

A Tundra will run out of payload well before the max tow rating.

There are now a few Land Cruisers in stock at the half dozen dealers near Nashville and many more in transit. Not enough for discounts but they are available for those not just blowing hot air. :LOL:

Surprising number of folks here in the market for something in this price range. (y)

^^^Are you a potential buyer? :unsure:

How about some background on the vehicle, why you chose it, what you expect when completed, etc? Certainly will be more interesting than the usual pickup with lift kit and RTT.

"Ever Overland" one and the same? Link

You can easily trim a memory foam mattress with an electric knife. We bought one from Walmart and trimmed to fit our small travel trailer. It's very comfortable.

What is the weight of an empty box and what is the payload (door sticker) of your Tundra?

Payload will bite you.

No personal experience but there has been a lot of discussion on some RV forums I read. Folks add the dc to dc chargers to ensure a steady charge to travel trailer house batteries via the 7 pin. Left to their own, the smart alternators often don't do much. I haven't read of any downsides.

Things could be worse. Imagine trying to sell this.

I agree that it will sell when the price is right. Probably a very small potential buyer pool of folks who can't put a RTT directly on their vehicle.

Stripe is cool. (y)

Yep, sounds as if OP would be a good match for the type of "expedition" travel that we all enjoy reading about but few of us will undertake. (y)

The perp hasn't been back since 04/28. Definitely was on a roll. Or something....
