Measurements requested please

[CindyC-IL]

I want to order a couple of things for the upcoming truck but need some info. For anyone that has their Lariat Supercrew with front console, do you know or could you measure the following.
-distance between the front seat backs (measurement of the open space between them.
-With the back seats folded up and the ability to move the fronts seats forward or back, I'm looking for the minimum and maximum distance between the back of the front seat and folded seat. I want to order dog kennels and need to know how much space there is. I've looked online and can't find the info.

Thank you for any information.

Hi Cindy,

Does it have to be a lariat? I can measure my super crew min max average distances today.

Hi Cindy,
We have a 2021 Platinum Super Crew and I also have been trying to figure out how to safely carry my two Dobermans. The distance between the two seat backs (across the console) is 15 in. The minimum distance between the folded rear bench seat and the front passenger seat is 24 in., and the maximum distance is 33 in. However, the most critical distance is between the widest part of the folded bench seat and the inside of the opened rear door. That is just 21 1/2 in. I cannot get a 36x23 crate through the door. I also tried partially collapsing the crate with the thought of getting it through and then set up again. That did not work because there was just not enough room to reset the crate. My next thought was to use harnesses connected to seat belts. I ordered highly recommended and expensive harnesses but unfortunately, they connect by having a special carabiner go around the seatbelt webbing. this was not clear in the product description. My bitch, who loves to ride shotgun, was fine with that. She was calm and immediately laid down. My dog, however, was not happy. He struggled and ended up with the seatbelt webbing wrapped around his neck. Since the belts were under tension, it was difficult to get him disconnected. Very dangerous, especially if in an emergency situation. I found seat belt connectors on Amazon that connect directly to the seat belt receiver and hold the harness at the back with a swivel clip. These were inexpensive and I use harnesses I already have. This will work but I am still more comfortable just taking them in the Expedition EL in crates. At least twice a month a friend and I travel 100 miles one way to go to a class. I can carry four big dogs (two Dobes, one German Shepherd and one Aussie) in crates in the Expedition EL. The only time I would have to use the F150 is when we have to go somewhere in the truck and are gone too long to leave dogs at home. Normally, it is just me and dogs going to classes or competition. If you have smaller dogs, you may be able to get your crates in your Lariat. Another option is to get a barrier divider-I have seen one that has good reviews and seems to work. However, with the dogs free in the back, they can scratch the interior of the truck and unless they are very well-trained, they can bolt out when you open the door. I am not in favor of having dogs unsecured in case of an accident, where they can be thrown about.
Good luck,
Carol

We removed the middle captains chairs from our Odyssey (dog limo) and have two crates strapped down for our labs. We're looking for a solution for the truck as well. We're not comfortable with our dogs being loose. It would be really cool if there was a custom wire crate that fit the back of the F150 that had doors on each side so we could open either back door and fit two dogs.

One other measurement if you can and don't mind. What's the inside width of the truck in the backseat (door to door). Checking if I can fit two crates back to back. Check out https://rufflandkennels.com. They might work but you may have to do a smaller crate. They are a bit pricy but someone I know has them and loves them.​

Ed is correct-the distance between rear doors is 56".
The Ruffland kennels do look sturdy and could fit. However, I would not make that investment for something I would rarely use. If Ford would build a hybrid Expedition EL, I would trade in my 2015 in a New York second! The Expy is the best vehicle I have ever had for my K-9 needs. Its only flaw is that there is no key entry for the tailgate. This could be really bad with a power failure or emergency so I carry tools to break the glass. When taking just two dogs, their crates are between the rear side doors but when I take four, two have to be facing the the tailgate. I had a 2008 Odyssey Touring, in which I could get four crates, but I replaced it because it was only front wheel drive and low ground clearance so quite unsuitable for our winters.

I have seen some phenomenal agility Vizslas. Good luck getting the crates you need for your truck.
