This variant pairs Toyota's diesel engine with an electric hybrid system and an automatic gearbox — expect stronger low‑end torque and improved fuel/CO2 figures versus a diesel‑only Hilux. The truck will still usually have DPF/AdBlue hardware from the diesel side; hybrid components (battery, inverter) add complexity and may affect payload depending on where the battery is fitted. Confirm whether this is a self‑charging hybrid or a plug‑in variant, check published payload/GVW for the exact cab/bed spec (single/extra/dual cab, bed length) and note commercial insurance is treated separately for working pickups in Ireland.

• Confirm whether it’s a self‑charging hybrid or a plug‑in (inspect for charging socket) and get the hybrid warranty paperwork.
• Hybrid battery state‑of‑health report and the hybrid system service schedule (what the first service covers).
• Published payload and GVW for this cab/bed spec — batteries can reduce usable payload compared with diesel‑only models.
• Load‑bed condition and look under any liner for corrosion; check tailgate, bed mounts and spare wheel location.
• 4WD/transfer case engagement and towbar mounting condition; verify diff/transfer oil change intervals for warranty compliance.
