Does the weight of a Hilux matter to tax?
Does a new commercial Toyota Hilux need to be weighed before road tax?

Hi Lillian,
No, it’ll be taxed as a commercial and the weight will be taken from its certificate of conformity document. If you want to tax it as a private car, then the weight doesn’t come into it — it switches back to the old by-engine-capacity system.
