Hybrid timber frame usually refers to using heavy steel or cast brackets to hold posts to beams, rather than all wood construction with fancy (read difficult) cuts and pegs. Historically, like when my 10 greats grandfather did this in Virginia in the 1630s, the pegs were mainly used to hold things together until the joint was finished and the building then could've usually survived a class 1 hurricane without fasteners of any kind. Although the pegs were left in. The English Tudor buildings were often post and beam with waddle and dab infill. I.e. woven sticks (not structural) covered in clay mud and then plastered.
I didn't buy it for that purpose, but I would guess my 2020 Toyota Sienna would make a great work vehicle. 3rd row seats collapse to be flat with the floor, and 2nd row can be removed by just pulling a handle to release them. After that you could fit many full sheets of drywall. Might need to get different tires if you're really filling it with heavy materials. Rated at 21 mpg. Note that newer Siennas have seats that are much harder to remove.
