Dogs transport in CT

[Waterdog]

I have a CT4 on order and a 56 lb. dog. I was wondering if someone could tell me if I could fit a crate (with the back seats down) that is 36"Lx23"Wx25"H. In centimeters it would be 91Lx58Wx64H. Thanks in advance!

Thanks @Boss Hogg for showing what's possible... quick search and found this one locally that is very similar in function and shape, but a bit smaller and perhaps a bit less elegant. (but a LOT cheaper )

With seats down that should be no problem. Which one of the dimensions are you concerned about?

Thanks @Jrkennedy37 for you reply. I'm concerned about the height of 25"; most of the SUVs I've measured are 26-27" floor to ceiling at the lowest point at the top but wasn't sure what the Cross Turismo was. Someone on this thread measured 29" but that sounded pretty tall. Also I just want to make sure the length of 36" is enough considering that the roof slopes down at a certain point.

This is probably overkill but the hatch opening seems just large enough. These are floor to ceiling measurement. With seats up you have about 20” of distance that will accommodate the full height, before the hatch angle interferes. With seats down you have a LOT of space. You may need to put the crate dead center to fit. Once it’s in you’ll have ample head room to the panoramic glass. Pretty sure I was the one that measured 29”.

Not overkill at all and thanks so much for posting pictures of the measurement. Looks like I'll just be able to fit it in the center. It's reassuring knowing his crate will fit; appreciate you taking the time out @Jrkennedy37 !

Anybody found a good solution for protecting the rear bumper paintwork when your pooch jumps in and out?

Isn't this a standart in all CT's?

Watch from 5min 30s:

Same on my US spec, nothing there. If anyone has a recommendation for one that can be ordered/shipped stateside, would love one. I’ve been using a large microfiber towel when the dogs jump in and out.

I am a new member but have followed this fora and thread for a while and just got my new CT 4S last week.
One of my biggest concerns was how to fit a dog cage in the CT for my 30kg dog but hopefully I have now solved it by ordering a completely customized cage from a company in Sweden (Skara), who manufacture customized cages for all vehicles. They have for example manufactured one for Panamera (picture below left) and now they are measuring the CT and I will be the guinea pig.
Once I get the cage (planned delivery Feb 21st) I will get back to you with feedback.

BTW - to protect the rear of the car from the dogs claws when jumping in and out I am using a long and big yoga mat. Have used it for several years in different cars and works perfectly.

Another concern was roof rack since Porshe´s roof rack was withdrawn but have solved it with Thule roof racks - below:
- Thule WingBar Edge 9585B (black)
- Thule WingBar Edge 958520 (aluminum)

Hope this helps!

This is what i've always uses. medium is fine for a medium sized labrador.
I haven't tried it in a Taycan yet, as i don't have one. But it is very forgiving/flexible, so it can squish down a bit in the corners etc when the boot closes etc. They fold flat too and weigh nothing.

I always go for boot liners, so use non slip carpet mat underneath to stop it from sliding around.

remember to factor in the Bose/Burmester system (or lack of), they increase the rear boot floor height so reduce clearance.

I have Bose system as part of the premium package, that I’m guessing 95% of cars have, so all measurements factor that in.

Not STD in the UK either. But it is available to order under Leather section "Personalised reversible Luggage Compartment Mat with Leather Edging and Loading Edge Protection" thats what I have done.

Oh! Would you be able to take a picture of that in your car to show us? Thanks!
