I did and am going to mount it it up right now. I have to board my pooches tonight so I'll grab a pic of it installed for you. I went with the large.

Are you getting one of the siblings from your males litter? Two is definitely better then one. When my dogs aren't sleeping, all they do is wrestle with each other and could care less about anything else.

Yeah I have a 1 year old pup I am getting from my friend in Vegas and then I bought a puppy she is 7 weeks right now. I haven't got either of them yet going to Vegas to pick up the older dog in a couple weeks on my vacation. The puppy should be shipped to me sometime next week. They should have fun playing with each other then later i plan on breeding them. How did it mount up?

It fits o.k.... If you max the straps out they will fit around the four headrests. It would be ideal if it had a little more width to it but whatever and the XL has the same width dimensions. What is really nice is the barrier it creates between the rear of the center console and the back seat. My dogs don't usually try to get up to the front but now they won't even try.

Thanks man. I have the slate and to be honest, it probably would be wise to go for the XL. You would be able to tuck the extra fabric into the seats and give it more of a solid fit.

Okay, old thread alert !!

trolls56 did you get this? How'd it fit?

Raptizzle, I see you have the scab. Do you think the seat bolsters are a good add with the bigger dogs? How's it holding up? Thanks, E.

Luckily enough for us we trained our dog to stay off the seats, so he lays down on the floor in the vehicles. No mess on the seats, and just toss a towel down to keep the fur off the carpet, and safer for the pet in case of an accident, and no nose smudges on windows, etc. lol.

Our's isn't as much of a fan of riding around in the mustang, but he loved riding in my street truck, sitting right behind the console so he could look straight through out the front window. He's really going to like the raptor with all the extra space of the supercrew vs the supercab.

Holding up good but wish i got the XL. I hate it when the wife is right!

Unless he's a small dog, he would have to be on the seat in a scab.

Good to know, thanks raptizzle. I will add it to the ever growing pile of stuff I have for a truck I don't.

Nope, they don't need room to be running all around. Our dog is still a puppy, he's about 45 lbs, and will lay on the front seat floor of her 5.0 even with my legs down there. No room for sprawling out, but the dog shouldn't be romping around the cab anyway while driving. My sisters 80 lb german shepard stays on the floor of the rear seats of her tiny little elantra. She raises seeing eye dogs and thats how they train all their dogs to ride in vehicles, and they're more than happy to do so when trained that way.
