For your 2018 Toyota RAV4 with the 2.5L I4 engine the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater # KH11813 will work perfectly. This cartridge heater will clip right into the cavity of your engine block and submerges in the coolant to keep them from thickening in the cold.

According to Kat's the block heater will be installed on the rear left (RL) portion of the engine. I have attached a diagram below that you can use for reference.
