Ok, so would a second agm be beneficial for running driving lights, fridges, 2way, camping stuff etc. or should I leave that system alone and setup the Ute as a camper with an external lithium source? And not worry about the car side at all? I’m concerned that it having a dcdc charger to top up the start battery, could leave me stranded if I’m using power with ancillaries whilst driving, how many watts does the dcdc charger put out? Is it the same as an alternator or not?

It all sounds great except for the stop-start system. Ute's need to do high km's in their lifetime and stop-start is going to kill that engine well before 200, 000 kms

Been a Toyota owner all my life, had many Toyota Hiluxs in the past for work and play, Will be giving this one a miss, seeking an alternative car brand in 2025. hybrid and stop start tech will make the All new Hilux 2025 breakable, No thanks. Commercial 4x4 vehicles should not have this tech inside them, its a major week link.

Toyota is the largest car manufacturer in the world and they can’t come up with a decent hybrid diesel?

[zfair]

So its like a psuedo hybrid? Its just made to circumvent environmental laws then?

[andrewlaker]

Doesn't seem to be much more fuel-efficient.

Nobody is queuing up for this Hilux 'Hybrid' this is old tech just slapped on to a type of lazy innovation is why the Chinese will take all of Toyota's market share in 10 years. All Toyota seem to do is make their vehicles more expensive and not really give you anything new.

What a joke of a setup. More hassle than it is worth.
