Best Cars for Road Trips

This summer you might be in the market for a new vehicle and we’re here to help you decide which one is the best fit for you needs. Summer is the season of road trips, which means you might want to make sure you next vehicle has everything you need for longer drives, like comfortable seating, extra storage and innovative technology features. We’ve compiled a list of the best cars for road trips so you can pick one that is ready for your next adventure.

Are Toyota vehicles good for road trips?

The first vehicle we recommend is the Toyota RAV4. This crossover has seating for up to five with enough space for adult passengers to be comfortable in the second row. This vehicle also offers 38.4 cubic feet of cargo space and even has a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds when properly equipped. This should give you a decent amount of space to bring everything and everyone along for the ride. The 2017 RAV4 was also recognized as a 2017 IIHS Top Safety Pick+, which means it will help keep you safe and put your mind at ease wherever the road leads.
If you want more space or a larger towing capacity, you might want to check out the Toyota Highlander. This vehicle has seating for up to eight. It also offers 13.8 cubic feet behind the third row, but this row can be folded down to expand the cargo space to up to 42.3 cubic feet. The Toyota Highlander also has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. In addition, the Highlander also has many convenience storage pockets and spaces for anything you might need to bring along.
