My wife has a new RX350 and we got the model second from the top, no side cameras, no GPS, and a few other electronics that we don't care about. The AppleCarPlay takes care of our needs just fine, plus the cloth seats are much to my liking. I will only be driving the vehicle some 4-5000 miles per year tops and it will never go off road, but I do want the 4WD for sure. Dealers around me here in the DFW area seem to have several on there lots for sale, I think I will start looking in February. I'm pretty sure I want the Old School model 2024 and not the new 2025 model, mainly because of it 4.0 engine and it's simplify design, over a turbo, etc.

You mention a preference for cloth seats, Apple CarPlay and fewer other features, and state you'll never go off road. The standard SR5 sounds like the appropriate choice for you, and as a bonus, the cheapest.
And definitely go with the 5th gen. If the 6th gen stumbles out of the gate like the new Tundra has with all of its gremlins, your resale value will be even better.
