I would look at the rear hatch lighting in case you have to change a tire at night or something along those lines.
Even in the 2022 rav4, the lighting is not good at all. I carry portable flashlights in my car in case I need more light but there’s an add on you can DIY and have way better lighting. I’ll post a link. Enjoy.

Get this. The two lights fit in the panels on the tail gait door that normally would be used to access the rear brake lights or something. Im going to assume it’s the same for the seas the xse, that’s what I have.

Getting the wire through the rubber boot between the gate and tailgate/liftgate is a pain but the results are worth it. Plenty of posts showing results
Installed these on mine and put LED on the OEM lights too.

You won't regret it, it has been great so far. I just replaced the driver's window/lock control with the Camry one because the Rav4 one is weirdly not lit. It is about a 5 minute job. Maybe it's different on the XSE.
I'm also installing some lights in the cargo area because the interior lighting is overall pretty dim.
Apparently these install pretty cleanly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083ZDYTH3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I watched yt videos to install it myself. I couldn't figure out how to take off the side panel above the wimpy trunk light that comes with the car. But I was still able to get the wire through the panel to the splitter attached to the wimpy light without taking off the pins on the panel. Taking the panels off the cargo door was very easy. Whole process took me 2 hours to do but will probably take more experienced people 15 minutes (lol).
Link to Amazon product I bought.
Not for the faint of heart! Couldn't stand the dinky light in the cargo area. These lights fit existing "cut outs". Ordered the kit from Amazon and installed. Took about an hour, but in we have experience with electrical.

These are a must imo. They’re cargo lights for the hatchback. Easy install, and inexpensive.

Yes, there are differences because the trunk light you tap into is different on the 2022 model and newer. Previously, it was an incandescent bulb setup and the new model is LED. This has been confirmed by others in this and other forums.
For the cartrim model, you need to use the drop-down to select 2022. The other Powerty and the like on amazon have started to explicitly state that it does not fit the 2022 model.
For example:

And here's the original thread that gave us the PSA

I agree on the Led Lights. I picked up Powerty Lights. I went a similar route for the speaker upgrade. I went with component speakers for the doors and dash, and paired it with the Kicker Key 200.4, and ran the Auto Setup to get the speakers time-aligned and equalized using the provided microphone. I'm running the component set as active, so I'm not using the crossovers that came with the speakers. My rear speakers are stock, as its usually just me in the rav, but I'm thinking about getting the same setup for the rears as well.
Get new lights for the trunk. These ones are great:

I got these
It's in the megathread but easily my favorite mod is the Powerty Cargo Lamps on Amazon.
You can see my post here showing the difference which is figuratively literally night and day. Easy $40 for a great quality of life upgrade.

Get some of these as well; they’re a gamechanger:

It's the Powerty Cargo Lamps on Amazon.
I'd forgotten to throw it in the comments but I found them on the mods/addons sticky post.
Assuming 5th gen, I linked a few things I'm actively doing/have done. Still need to hardwire the dashcam in:
Factor4.co Grille Lights
Viofo Front and Back Dash Cam (hardwired)
This is what I’ve been seeing for skid plate. Supposedly no loss in ground clearance.
Rear hatch lights I’m definitely doing. That tiny light on the right side of cargo area will give you nothing when full of gear back there while camping. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083ZDYTH3/
Debating roof rack too. We have the pano roof so not sure what will be compatible and I’ll have to make sure to tape off the controls if we do put something up there.

I basically just looked up Toyota Rav4 LED Cargo/Trunk Lights and i picked from there
I don't remember who originally posted about this, but I got the LED lights for my rear cargo area and installed them myself! I absolutely love them!
I used this video: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=LL

As for the wind deflectors I just stuck on the Autoclover ones that also serve as chrome delete. Also bought them from Amazon
