Which springs are tunable and bypassable?
Springs can be twisted to add or subtract coils from them; and they can be ratcheted down so they remain compressed.

My point, which clearly I was too subtle for, was their language was very vague about how they were doing this, and that something as simple as a spring could fit their vague statements.

The point of advertising copy like that is to lead you to think they put more work into it.

Which it clearly was working!

This is unfortunate. Ever had to repair a hybrid? They're complicated. I'll never buy another hybrid 😭

I’m guessing mid $50’s for the TRD Pro hybrid.

Seems like with thr i-Force Max badge like it’s a going towards more workhorse/power/towing/hauling than in addressing fuel economy.

The IsoDynamic Performance Seats allow "for vertical and lateral seat movement simultaneously to dampen body movement and stabilize the head and neck to keep alignment with the spine."
