2020 Toyota Tundra — what should a real pre-purchase inspection include?

FlatSixSeller408Community StarterMay 2, 20262020 Toyota Tundra SR5Texas
2020 Toyota Tundra SR5, about 113,500 miles. I am paying an independent shop to inspect a used car. Besides a scan and putting it on a lift, what should I ask them to check so it is more than a quick state-inspection-style look? If I figure it out I will update the thread.

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: A written buyer’s order on the 2020 Toyota Tundra is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” If they balk, that's your answer. On “what should a real pre-purchase inspection include,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2020 Toyota Tundra in Texas with 113,500 miles. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. If GAP is bundled I'm making them unbundle it.
