According to the owner's manual I looked up online, a 2018 Toyota RAV4, two-wheel drive models of the 2018 Toyota RAV4 (including the hybrid) can be towed with the front wheels on a dolly. However, all-wheel drive models cannot, though I highly recommend looking in your copy of the manual to verify.

For a tow dolly, I highly recommend one of the options from Demco:

- Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045
- Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly # DM9713093

These are by far the best option because because of how simple they are to use than other tow dollies. The Kar Kaddy X tilts down and the Kar Kaddy SS has a ramp so you can simply drive up the dolly and secure your car on it. The SS ramps also fold up and it has a stow-away tongue which makes it the easiest dolly to store.

Both dollies also have a simple surge coupler to activate their hydraulic disc brakes so there is no messy wiring to worry about like with dollies that use electric brakes.
