Default Can a big dog ride in a Supercab ?

I have a 2006 Supercab that is like new with only 9500 miles on it. The problem is I don't feel like it is very dog friendly. I have a 90 lb Doberman and I'm wondering if he will fit in the small area behind the seats. I have even considered removing the passenger seat to give him more room. My wife didn't like that idea because she wouldn't have a seat if she wanted to come along. I have also considered selling it and getting something like a Toyota Rav4 or Honda CRV. I guess I just wasn't thinking when I bought this truck, it doesn't meet my needs. I'm wondering if any of you have a big dog that rides in the cab. For safety reasons we will not let him ride in the bed of the truck. Thanks for your comments.

You can actually put people back there. Maybe only ones you don't like...but I have had my 6'2" sone back there, and at 180 I bet he weighs more than your dog. Probably eats more too...

I wish the passenger seat would go up a little farther to create a larger opening. When the seat is up all the way there is a shape edge on the seat track. I would have to cover that so he wouldn't get cut. He is use to riding in the backseat of my old Camry where he has a lot of room.

You have a 2 door supercab and you want to try to put a 90 lb dog in the back??????? Since you have an 06 Ranger with 9500 you must not go anywhere.....670 miles a year.
If you plan on ever leaving the house, buy a car with a back seat for your dog.

Part of the reason I have so few miles is because I live in a small town and just don't put many miles on. I do have multiple cars plus a motorcycle. My motorcycle gets more miles put on it than anything else. Being retired I had just planned on holding on to what I have since everything is paid for. I know I would take a big loss if I sold the Ranger, I'll probably just hang on to it. One of these days I'll try taking my Dobie in the Ranger and see how he does. He currently rides in the backseat of my old Camry and seems to like it.
