Autotrader Names Chrysler Pacifica and Jeep Wrangler as Best Vehicles for Dogs Again
We all love going for a ride every now and then. Whether it’s to get away from the stress of everyday life, or just cruising to relax and clear the mind, it’s always nice to just get in the car and drive. You know who also just loves to go for a ride in the open air? Dogs. What did we do to deserve such amazing animals? Sure, years of domesticating wolves had something to do with it, maybe some interspecies breeding with foxes, but dogs are just amazing. Now, if looking for a vehicle perfect for pets, especially dogs, Autotrader has once again recognized the Chrysler Pacifica and the Jeep Wrangler as the perfect vehicles for dogs.
For the second year-in-a-row, Autotrader honored the Chrysler Pacifica minivan and the Jeep Wrangler on its “10 Best Cars for Dog Lovers” list. The Pacifica has a lot of space, that’s obvious, but the Wrangler? A vehicle made for off-road? Yes, because all that off-road action would feel terrible without some stability and comfort for the passengers, so of course it’s also built to keep our furry friends from falling over and over again. It’s a known fact dogs have a little trouble keeping their balance in a vehicle in motion.
“Trips around town or to local destinations have become an important part of our lives these last few months, and for many people that means bringing along their pets as they hit the road…To help new-car buyers that are traveling with four-legged friends, we’ve carefully curated a list of the best cars that offer great comfort and safety features while also making the lives of pet parents just a little easier.” – Brian Moody, executive editor at Autotrader
Autotrader should be a household name by now, but if you’re questioning credibility, Autotrader is the most recognized third-party car listings brand. Like many automotive publications, Autotrader collects data and shares it freely to help inform in-market car shoppers. Offering all kinds of insight into the car shopping experience, Autotrader knows the good, bad, and downright ugly about the newest vehicles released. If Autotrader suggests a vehicle, you know it’s a good one.
Autotrader’s 10 Best Cars for Dog Lovers list named the Pacifica for its family friendliness, offering consumers many seating configurations. With the minivan’s Stow ‘n Go seating, consumers can make plenty of room for pets, whether allowing them to roam freely or stay put in a kennel – that’s so mean though, check out some of the alternatives for setting up a nice space for your dog to hang out in. Really, what’s the point of bringing the dog for a ride if it’s locked up? When it comes to the Jeep and going off-road though, we would like to suggest a crash-proof crate, just in case. With many accessories being added to both, the Chrysler Pacifica and Jeep, that are tailored to dogs, there are many ways to make the inside of a vehicle pet-friendly and safe, from installing all-weather floor mats and cargo mats to open-door pet kennels so the dog has its own place to chill aside from jumping onto car seats.
