welcome to the forum. i was in your place a number of years ago and also found this forum after being an owner of my second runner. currently own two runners 2010 and 2020. have owned 99 LTD, 10 LTD, 11 Trail, 19 Pro, and now 2020 TRD OffRoad. All Canadian of course.

getting the Trail/TRDOffRoad is the best value in my opinion irrespective of the year - especially in Canada. 2020 year model will get you more tech and auto climate control by default. keep in mind that Canada gets what the USA calls TRDOffRoadPremium, by default. You are in the right direction. all the best.

as for the forum, best resource. i didn't know anything about cars and now i do so many cosmetic and mechanical mods myself at home with the help of everyone here. Also look into joining facebook groups.
