Should I choose the i-FORCE or i-FORCE MAX hybrid?

SR/SR5 are value-focused workhorse trims, Limited/Platinum/1794 lean toward comfort and features, TRD Pro is geared for off-road hardware and styling, and Capstone targets a premium, luxury-leaning experience. The best choice depends on towing needs, cabin size, and must-have features.
