I just got a 2020 rx with a tow package, when I was considering the touchless rear-door, I was told that if you ever want a tow hitch (even for just a bike rack), then you would lose the functionality of the touchless rear-door anyway. When I thought about it, I decided against it and got a tow package instead (higher capacity cooling for highway drives). Color-wise, I think a black interior shows more dirt and kids stuff then other colors possibly would.

But consider that you are trying to fit into what the local dealers have. I understand that (having done that for my last three RX's). This time, I picked what I wanted first and let the dealer do the ground work to get exactly the colors I wanted, with exactly the options wanted. I am much, much happier with the car I got as a result. I had to wait almost 2 months but it was well worth the wait. Unless you are in a bind and need a vehicle quickly, I would select the dealer first, then tell them what you want and let them do their job. My wait was extra long b/c the 2020's weren't out yet. Dealers swap cars all the time and they can order as well, your wait should be considerably shorter. If you can afford to wait a bit, I'd strongly suggest this avenue over picking from only what they have on their lots.

What I was asking him was what key does he have to pull out of his pocket to start the car or to open the hatch? My touch-free works ok now, but I usually just hit the button by the license plate. Still, no keys need to be pulled out of your pocket.

That;s outright robbery!! At my Lexus Dealer it's $60 even that is crazy, but it's not a gimmick.
I had nitro in my original tires and when I changed tires the tire shop put air in them and I could see the PSI variate by a much higher number, so that I was constantly adjusting it and my old knees got tired, so I went back and had nitro put it and now the variation is back on track only 1 oe max 2 psi difference, due to weather.
