sschultz Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have considered a full size truck with a topper but I will not put a dog in the back of a truck,topper or not. My dogs work harder in the field than I do and deserve to be warm and comfortable. And yes I have had dogs get skunked or roll in some mess. But they still go in the cab. And I don't stay in motels unless my dogs stay in the room with me Link to post Share on other sites
Felix Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have a 6 cyl. 2006 RAV4 for my hunting rig. It's just usually me and the dog but it will fit 2 guys, 2 dogs and gear with no problem. Put an aggressive tread on the tires and it will go anywhere that I want to go. I took it out west (I'm from PA) a couple of years ago and loved the driving and the gas mileage. I'm headed back out there this fall. Link to post Share on other sites
sschultz Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 We rented a diesel version of the RAV4 in Iceland wish they were available here. Seemed like a great little SUV. Link to post Share on other sites

BIGSP Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 This is my personal car and it has been amazing. I hate to sell it but, I need more space. I'd be happy to sell a truck vault and custom built kennel to go along with it if anyone is interested. http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=449928723&zip=49417&modelCode1=4RUN&referrer=%2Fcars-for-sale%2Fsearchresults.xhtml%3Fzip%3D49417%26showcaseOwnerId%3D581314%26startYear%3D2010%26listingType%3Dused%26endYear%3D2010%26modelCodeList%3D4RUN%26makeCodeList%3DTOYOTA%26modelCode1%3D4RUN%26mmt%3D%5BTOYOTA%5B4RUN%5B4RUN%257CLimited%5D%5D%5B%5D%5D%26listingTypes%3Dused%26trim1%3D4RUN%7CLimited%26makeCode1%3DTOYOTA%26firstRecord%3D0%26searchRadius%3D25%26trimCodeList%3D4RUN%7CLimited&showcaseOwnerId=581314&listingTypes=used&startYear=2010&numRecords=25&makeCode1=TOYOTA&firstRecord=0&endYear=2010&searchRadius=25&makeCode1=TOYOTA&modelCode1=4RUN Link to post Share on other sites

I have three Setters and needed more room . I ended up with a new Tahoe LTZ and love it . I've had a couple Tahoe's through the years but this new one is spectacular . Gas mileage is incredible and what a ride . I used it last season in Maine . Since then I've been working on a 1999 Tahoe 2 door and finally finished putting it together ( I always wanted one of these) . A little shorter wheelbase and a Tank on the smaller two tracks . It will stay in Maine for the season and be the dedicated ''Grouse mobile'' . Link to post Share on other sites
