Tool Bag?
The manual shows a tool bag in an open rectangular space next to the towing eyelet where jack is stored under the cargo floor. My dealer checked several cars on the lot and none of them have a tool bag there. Did anyone get a tool bag with their RX?

My tool kit has a small pair of pliers, a phillips head screwdriver, and two small open end wrenches. No idea what they are for. I can't imagine that they are for anything related to changing a tire, but I'm not going to change a tire myself, as long as I have the Lexus Roadside Assistance.
The pictures and description are on page 898 of my 2013 RX 350 manual.
I just talked to my good service adviser, Daniel. He said the pliers are to remove battery cables if you need to, and the wrenches are for the 10/11 mm bolts.

I never look in there so I went to the garage. There is a first aid bag on the right side held by velcro. Inside are some good stuff for first aid. I lifted the cover. On the left side is a small plastic bag with some some tools e.g. small plier, open wrenches. They look pretty cheap. There is also an inch bolt threaded on one end. I am not sure what this is for. I suspect it has something to do with towing? There is also a complicated looking jack which I will investigate later in the day.

My tool bag and first aid kit are there... Still have the one for the GS as well.

I checked my '13 RX and lo and behold there is a small toolkit there. Never knew it. I also don't know how the tow eyelet is used. Have to check manual.
