My FB feed has been continuously hit with adds for this little car/truck. Biggest selling point they seem to be pushing is the claimed 5000lb towing capacity. Is this believable? Just a quick search of the web finds several small TT's that weigh in at around 3900lbs. Could this rig safely pull one? Or am I missing some big piece of this puzzle?
First question: Is the 3900lb the empty weight or the GVWR.
If it's the GVWR, probably doable but not a great tow vehicle.
If it's the empty weight, you will probably be overloaded.
For the same price look into a 1/2 ton truck but make sure to check both tow rating and payload. Look for one with a payload above 2000lb and you should have a vehicle that will tow much better.
