Congratulations on your new rig!

Before you load it up and take off on a long trip, you should probably take it on a shakedown trip to a local park.... or at the very least do a bit of 'driveway camping' so that you see how everything works and determine what you need.

First lunch at Loves on the way home.

The dealer installed a E2 WDH hitch. I had about 170lbs of cargo behind the rear seat of the FJ the E-Pro had 2 full 20#LP and 2 battery's tanks are dry.

Towed great no funny movements, the FJ needs a V8 but it will get you there.

Welcome I am also from Nebraska. Northeastern part. Lots of real nice city parks around here to camp at. Cheaper than state parks and in my opinion better kept!
