Re: [RC] Truck vs. SUV - heidiI have 3 large dogs. My dogs ride in my wagon daily but my wagon will not pull a trailer, not even a 2-horse. So I need something bigger and can really only afford to own one vehicle. I do not like the idea of putting my dogs in the back of a pickup even with a shell. Plus, no a/c for those really hot summer days. I realize it's a little harder to put a load of hay, wood chips, or manure in the back of an SUV than a pickup, but I don't carry those things on a daily basis. So, anyone got any advice on which 3/4 ton SUV (used of course) w/ a HD tow package is the best way to go? Anyone got any other solutions for both dogs and horses? I lost my "old lady" a couple of years ago to old age, so am down to just one, but for quite awhile I hauled two English Mastiffs in the extended cab of my pickup. I put a crib mattress back there for them lie on, which just about perfectly fit the "platform" that is formed when the little bitty "back seat" is down. I still take my big boy (185#) with me to all the rides. I'm with you--I want the doggies up in the cab with the A/C, but the extended cab has worked just great.
