Safety first, roominess, climate control are major things to look for in a car you plan to put your dog in. Here are Edmonds.com's list of the best vehicles for taking your dog for a ride.
Dodge Journey, GMC Acadia, Hyundai Tuscon, Jeep Liberty, Mazda 5, Mitsubishi Outlander, Subaru Tribeca, Volvo XC70.
All makes have an explanation as to why they are good.
I have to say, our new Ford Explorer Sport Trac small pickup works really well for Ferdie. The backseat is as roomy as an SUV, the windows are tinted to keep the sun's heat off him and we can do backseat temperature control. Plus, the microfiber dog cover/hammock works perfectly over the leather seats. The floors are strong rubber, no fiber carpet which stays really clean. Also the windows roll as far down as you want and the rear window also comes down for great dog viewing.
So glad I ran into you and Kruta's today and could introduce myself. Somehow I seem to know what is happening in Collinsville, and I thank you for that!

Thanks so much, Ann, what a nice surprise this morning. I would be Kruta's wouldn't it?

I am chuckling because a few months ago I almost bought Pam a new sedan. On my way back to the dealer and after driving it for a day, she asked me about carrying Montgomery our adult Great Pyr in the back seat. When I returned I had an Enclave instead of the sedan

Big trunks are what i look at if im looking for a car to chauffer the boys around. lay down a couple mats to keep the wet dog hair away and we are good to go.
