2023 Rav 4 suggestions?

My current car finally shit the bed so I caved and slapped a deposit down for a Rav 4 LE AWD. Are there any options that are a must I should get for the vehicle? Is it worthwhile to throw an extra $2k CAD for the hybrid model, it may have a higher wait time.

I will probably be keeping the car till it gives out. It will primarily be used to commute to a 9-5. I live in a colder climate in Canada if that is relevant.

Be sure it at least has roof rails installed. Cross bars would be nice too 👍 If you like privacy, go for the tonneau cover too. These items generally are not available if they don’t come factory.

2022 LE gas does NOT come with roof rails... check the trim levels carefully.

I would consider NOT going Hybrid.. I'm from Montreal and got the #cablegate issue at 98 000km. Fully corroded HV connector... Extended warranty covered but 3-4 months wait time for the part... Need a reliable car for work (on the road 5x/week) so I sold the Hybrid a high profit, got a 2021 gas version instead.
