TV recommendation (weight police, please take notice)

What TV would you recommend for this TT? I wish I the source had more particulars on this beast.

According to the commercials, the new Nissan little diesel would pull that like a dream.

Looks like the Sheikh from Abu Dhabi caught a low hanging branch backing into his assigned site.

Skip the. TVJust hang a movie screen on one side and then you’ll need a theater quality projector😁.

Or does TV refer to tow vehicle?

Agree with larryflew. The salesman said that the TV in the photo would pull anything on the lot, it just needs a hitch on the roof. The salesman knows best and can always be trusted. So, what's the problem?

That's a Matchbox car in the photo, right?

Seriously, is that "trailer" some kind of amphibious/houseboat?

My dealer told me the 2500 13 Duramax would pull and handle 2700 lb pin weight just fine he was right but I had to get different rims and tires along with bags all the numbers where under the weight I was hauling . The 1 ton is braking in and doing a better job then the 2500.
