We do the same on a regular basis minus one dog. We have a crew cab Ram with a fiberglass cap. Our Lab rides in her crate in the back. If it's really hot then we will bring her to the back floor, but otherwise she does not seem to mind riding in the back at all! Other than that, Van, Large SUV, or Motorhome I think are your only options
This is great thank you! We looked at the GMC 2500HD today and the backseat is huge! I think we are going to do the same as you have suggested.
Sure thing! Something I recommend if you go this way is to get a sliding front window in the fiberglass cap and not a solid window. This will allow you to slide that open and open the side windows and get PLENTY of airflow for the dog. I was skeptical but during our first trip I opened it up this way and was watching some tarps I had back there start blowing all around. Realized it was plenty of air flow and I needed to secure the tarps. Spring and fall when heat is not an issue I just open the side windows. I also love the bed rug we put in the bed. It gets messy from firewood but it makes the dog crate stay put and is awesome on your knees when you crawl up there. Good luck!
