It’s in the bed now, but put it in the crew cab of my Silverado the day I brought him home. I can’t remember the sequence, but a seat had to go all the way forward to get it in and I think I had to go in the opposite door and slide it across. Also, there’s no tie downs in a cab and the high end...

I have a Gunner kennel, be sure to check the door dimensions as well. Getting it in the truck was a bigger problem than the floor space. You probably need a kennel and a truck to confirm it will work.

My wife bought a Gunner Kennel for our dog. It’s plastic, but double walled heavy duty. I believe it’s the only one on the market that is crash tested. They are expensive ($600 I think) and you buy one based on your dogs size (M to XXL I think). We tie it down with 4 straps, pack our stuff...

This is very true. A co-worker was sideswiped by a construction company pickup pulling a trailer. The loose fender on the trailer barely knicked her but ripped a jagged hole in her passenger side door and messed up the fender. It was obvious the truck/trailer driver was reacting because his lane...

I just came back from another trip with a gunner kennel under a cap. I think it was mentioned earlier in the thread, you could put the dog in the trailer. Ideally in a gunner if you can strap it down safely (you may not be able to without mods). Each strap needs to hold like 1000 lbs. Gunner...

I found a used one on Craigslist as I wasn’t particular about options (and I’m cheap). The problem with that was the color, body shops in the Denver area want $800 plus to paint and I couldn’t find anyone that does them in their garage. My parents autobody guy will do it for $400, he’s 3000...

No pictures. It’s exactly what you would expect to see if you opened the tailgate and cap to see a kennel to the left and all the crap 3 kids needed for 2 weeks borderline falling out packed around the kennel/straps. You say family of 5? Does that include the dog? Do you have 3 seats in the...

We’ve done it 3 ways: 1) 2 kids in car seats and 2 dogs, folded the 40 on the 60/40 up and everyone was happy 2) 3 kids in car seats, both dogs laid down on the floor. Not ideal. 3) current configuration is a Gunner kennel under a topper. We just did this for a 2 week 4000 mile road trip. The...
