Heading down to LAX/LAS

Hey everyone,

I am thinking of heading down to Los Angeles in a couple months (with the loonie being this low i know) for a road trip. I've decided to rent a 2013 Rav4 with Hertz and I'm planning to drive it through the Mojave Desert. How reliable is this car for some rocky terrain? Is there anything I should know about a Rav4? I just drive a 07 Civic here in Van, and I have driven an SUV many times before.
I am travelling with 3 others, and I'm just wary of the reliability of a rental SUV when I'll be venturing to the Kelso Sand Dunes for a hike in April where there will be no cell reception, and probably no people either. The distance away from civilization and probably reception will be about 75 miles, so 150 miles both ways.

Any insights or advice please don't hesitate! Thanks
