Help deciding on a truck set up.

Cant be too hard to have a 12v stepdown and hardwire into the car

Oh I can hardwire it. Im just trying to not put too much strain on my Truck's battery. Its an old truck, just trying to go easy on it. Id like to have this as its own independent system that just lives in the Truck.

First of all, welcome to the community. The Heltec V3 is NSP32 based which is notorious for eating battery. nRF52 based devices are much more battery efficient. Also, the antenna on the V3 probably won't be much better than in the T1000E (which has a fantastic antenna) You could use a bigger battery, as big as you need as long as the voltage is correct.

Thank you! I'm glad my co-worker introduced me to this.
