Dodge minivan is most dog-friendly vehicle
Cars, SUVs, and minivans were judged according to dog-passenger-friendly criteria: seats that fold flat or are easily removable; plenty of usable cargo space relative to the size of the vehicle; wide, square backs, with minimal rear slope to maximize the cargo area; door and window locks, so a dog can’t accidentally unlock a door or roll down a window; and all-wheel or four-wheel drive and high ground clearance for particularly sporty dog owners who take themselves and their canine companions off-road a lot. The judges, journalist Keith Turner and syndicated columnist and author Gina Spadafori, applauded the Grand Caravan, calling it the “consummate dog mobile.” Celebrated features include power doors, multiple storage compartments, a power tailgate, and lots of tie-downs to keep animals and pet carriers secure. Winners in other categories included: > Best compact: Pontiac Vibe and Toyota Matrix
