Ive got a Toyota RAV4 and have had Harley and 2 of her friends (Spinones) in there with her. I love it because the ride height is good for me and really good on bumpy roads and on tracks off road. Really spacious and you can get a roof box. I think it looks nice too. Might be worth a look?
Does Trader Joe's still make yummy dog cookies in the shape of an Outback? I always thought that being immortalised in a dog cookie somehow made the Outback THE official dog car!
We have a Nissan Navara...we need 4x4 as get lots of snow here and drive in the Alps...also need space for loads of kit...skis bikes and dogs.....it's awesome we would never be without one now...on our second one
Leave my car alone! Haha, you're right. We've been finding the kid/dog/pram combination a bit tricky and will probably upgrade soon.
Skoda Superb - brilliant car, tons of space, especially with the seats down. We transport 3 labs easily.
In crates/behind a guard? I would need at the very least two compartments - one for Luna and one for W&S.
We now have a Renault Grande Espace, but looking for another car. We are looking for a car where our Finn can easily jump into! There is a new Volvo coming up the end of the year. That's what we are aiming for. My sister who has 3 dobermann's is driving a Citroen caddy. She has 3 crates in it in the back. She is very pleased with this car!
Naaah, you know you want a ute. Toyota Hilux! They're the traditional farmer's car here. Install crates on the flat bed.
Oh yeah, I can see them loving travelling through France to and from the UK in that. In the rain. It always bloody rains.
We have a Hilux - it has a back on it so rain OK. It's a huge jump up/down to the rear bed (or the seats for that matter) though. We use it for travelling across - When driving, Coco sits on the back seat, when static on the boat he has a crate in the back - OH doesn't trust him not to go crazy & chew if left for a few hours. I'd hate to drive with him in the very back as we wouldn't be able to talk to him!
We have all three in one crate, but we don't go long distances. But, with just a guard it would be comfortable for three on long journeys too ...
I drive a Nissan Pathfinder. Nice big flat boot, can seat 7 if needed and each seat folds flat independently so easy to accomodate luggage and dogs. Is a little basic inside but does have proper 4x4.
I would consider an ex-police car/van purpose built for dogs. They often have aircon/fans too. Something like this? https://www.gumtree.com/p/ford/2009...ier-estate-ex-police-estate-diesel/1190469210
Or maybe something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2008-VAUX...b947edb&pid=100009&rk=2&rkt=2&sd=222382675283 We are considering a Ranger Rover discovery, a few years old...or just updating our volvo...XC70 (4x4). we also like the new Ford Ranger We are even considering a motorhome for those really long journeys and converting part of the back of one to safe dog crates
