Having had both our little Dogs( toy poodles 5&10lbs) as well as our big dog ( Catahoula bulldog 100lbs) no issues so far since July. I put a towel under the Bulldog just because of his weight combined with his nails. He sheds pretty good but the MGV and rubber floors make clean up a breeze. The poodles of course don’t shed and even though one has nails that are basically razor blades I haven’t observed a mark yet.

Hit the gas, bro - the light's grey.

Mine is a 2 door, but I immediately took out the back seat and I ordered the Goose Gear flat platform (until it arrives I have a 1/2 birch one and a yoga mat for paw traction).

This is exactly what I need. So the seats come out? How hard would it be to put them back in? I have a Mustang and a Bronco (had). I can't think of a time the rear seats were actually up! Thanks for the idea BTW.

How about a Dog and a Bronco picture?

Beagle! How many pics would you like of my (passed) beagles in my old Bronco. There are literally hundreds. (However those ears say Fox or Coon....)

Hello! I had a Leo, and a Corso, never a Newf...but this young'un is a Mastiff...still growing. He can actually move his 200 pounds when he wants to!

Are you sure there isn't some draft horse in his ancestry?

All the Very Good Dogs in the thread need lots of hugs. So does the cat who sauntered in.

I don't expect to be transporting pets except in emergency situations, where the vehicle interior would likely be extremely low on my priority list. No need to take our dove anywhere, and our cat disapproves of car travel about as much as I dislike listening to nonstop Siamese howls. I love the cat, don't misunderstand, but Siamese can really get on your nerves when they decide to have a tantrum.

What a great thread. So I'll TRY to limit myself on the pics, even though my phone says I have almost 10,000 pics on there (95% dog pics). Yes, a few of these are 25 years old, taken with a flip-phone, but I think that speaks to my hounds and Broncos. No new pics with hounds and Broncos because no new Bronco, yet.

(The last pic has some of my beagle furkids in it - miss those guys -they hunt like nothing else... The rest of the pics are my coonhounds, which I would trust with baby Jesus, but will hunt mountain lions and even bears - only a hillbilly would do that... however, you get the idea, their nails (and teeth) are like... nails, so I hope that vinyl holds up!)

PS: Yes, that "D" IS a brand. Like I said, baby Jesus, hillbillies and bears. Ain't nothing tougher than a hound. I could go on, but.....

Good eye! Correct! Beagle /Coon mix. Please share Great

Bengal cat?

Just a regular tabby alley cat. He does like to explore my bronco when it nice and safe in the garage, and prefers the doors off so he doesn't have to get me to leave one open for him. When you have a cat the important thing to know is they train you, opposite of a dog human relationship.

For smaller dogs you can just tip the seat lowers forward and then fold the top sections down, which provides a pretty good amount of space, but removing them completely adds at least another 12-15 inches of length. It takes about 10-15 minutes to pull them out, and you need to disconnect the wires that go to the seat belts...and I recommend removing the part of the seat belts that houses the sensors that the wires connect to after you remove the seats and just tucking them out of the way. Then you need to either fabricate a flat panel (I made mine out of 1/2 birch) or go with the Goose Gear system (if you can part with the 1000 dollars...ouch). While it is not required to have a flat panel, if you don't there are studs sticking up out of the floor that cannot be removed and a slope in the forward most section of the floor.

Buying the BL to haul my dogs, cover the seats with towels and old sleeping bags.

y Jesus, but will hunt mountain lions and eve

Even IF I had a $1000.... Your boy looks pretty comfortable, and I assume he's rather large. Let's be honest: if you have a dog and that dog does NOT run your house.... well.....maybe YOU need to go....

Stick with one of these and you won't have to worry about any of these issues. They will tell you where to shove you idea of a nice ride out in nature!

Fun post! But, some cats DO like to ride in cars. My cat Bootsie loved to ride in cars (and my old 1971 Ford Bronco), with his favorite thing to go to the drive through to get a milkshake! Often surprised the person woking at the drive-through window. He even got in neighbors car once for a 300 mile road trip!

This is her in the hammock. Big fan of the car ride

Finally got around to punching some holes in the cargo mat to make the hooks accessible/useable. Found some cool adjustable bungees that work great (back side has them as well). Kennel and pup fully secured
