"Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC, provided me with compensation and use of a RAV4. The opinions I have shared about this vehicle are my own.

That Dood Squad and I took an adventure by using the 2018 Toyota RAV4 for a drive-inmovie themed shoot! If you know anything about the Squad, we like to go BIG for ourshoots. When we had the opportunity to team up with Local Toyota Dealers and the sporty RAV4, Iknew this would be a great size SUV for all of the doodles (there are seven)!

I liked how high the RAV4 sits for a mid-size vehicle. The space it provided forall the dogs was great. All seven were able to fit in the rear cargo area comfortably. They also loved sticking their fluffy heads out the windows and I think that was Lola’s favorite part!Our model was packed full of all amazing features from SiriusXM Radio to navigation,heated seats, and a big sunroof. Everything was intuitive and user-friendly. The dash wassimple and sleek, and the buttons were easily accessible with apps designed for different controls.

As a photographer always on the go, it has great fuel economy. It averages 23 mpg gallon in the city, and 29 mpg on the highway. It doesn’t get any better than that! This SUV has safety features galore, which I personally love living in a busy city and driving crowded highways. From the blind spot monitoring and dynamic radar cruise control to the lane departure and pre-collision detection systems, it also has a bird’s eye view camera that provides a 360-degree view around the car. HOW NEAT?! The RAV4 checked all boxes for me. Oh, and the push button to close and open the liftgate - I loved the ingenuity and convenience for when my hands are full of photography equipment, groceries, and a dog leash.
