The intermediate (mine) fit in the backseat of our Hyundai Sonata in a pinch one time, so I bet you can make it work! Worst case, bring tools for disassembly if necessary and your dog isn’t with you.

Thanks! Yes I’ve done (and continue to do) many cross country trips with it. My biggest concern is just making sure my dog is comfortable given whatever the weather is doing, which we mitigate with either venting/ice packs/water (in the summer) or blankets and the new cold weather door accessory in the winter.

I agree with you on all counts. However, regarding the door, I oiled the hinge recently and it’s performing way better.

@@roshjackham My boy rides inside the truck on a platform that replaced the back seat. The door edge rattles with just about every bump in the road. I used split rubber tubing around the edges away from the hinge and all’s good now.

Obviously every dog is different, but my dog, even with all his energy, can even be fine for a 10 hour road trip if we stop every couple hours for breaks, exercise before and after, and we even sometimes find dog parks along the way for a long trip. Bottom line, if your dog can go 3 hours in his kennel at home, then as long as the internal kennel temp is good, a 3 hour road trip should be fine too.

My experience has been that the straps are pretty sturdy, but I’m sure there are better options out there worth looking into, and I haven’t crashed with the kennel to truly test them thankfully. Any suggestions on better straps? Thanks!

What straps do you use then?

100% I'm no lockpinking lawyer but I can rake pick that lock in <10 seconds. Do not rely on it for security.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks-More coming soon!
