Ok I don't know if anyone can chime in here.. But I am single.. and have always had smaller sports cars.. I just put a deposit down on a 4 door auto rubi.. but am now.. really re thinking myself.. I have a 70lbs dog.. and I was thinking how much room is there with the back seats out of the 2 door? and is there a safe way to harness my dog? in the 2 door?

Also how bad would long trips be in the 2 door vs the 4 door.... I literally have like 36 hours here to decide LOL.. I'm losing sleep over this.. I just need some insight

 

personally I think the 2 door is great for space, although I dont have a dog... I am single and have packed everything I need for a week long trip into the back with room to spare and had the top down. if you kept the top up there would be even more room. The first thing I did was take out the back seat. Throwing a dog into the mixture is a tough one though. Hope you make your decision without any regrets!

 

Would you have pics with your back seat out? just for viewing... I see you are in Whitby I am in Pickering.. is there a durham region jeep gathering?

 

There is plenty of room with the back seat out for a dog and luggage for one. My girlfriend and I took a week long trip out of state with the rear seat out, and had room to spare!

 

Stacks of room without the back seat...

Heaps of places to help with strapping the dog.

We have done 6000km trips (@3500 miles) no probs with the gear and the ride...

 

There is a club, Durham4x4, in the area which meets every Wednesday at Tim Hortons in Ajax on hwy 2 in front of the Home Depot. They have a website too Durham4x4.com I work in Pickering but I am off tomorrow. I can swing by and show you the Jeep without the back seat in if you want. Congrats on the almost purchase you will love it no matter what!

 

This is what I am scared of making a rash decision.. I sold my car.. and now am car less .. LOL so I know I need to buy my Jeep like yesterday.. Do you have any pics with your dog.. in and no back seat?

 

Thank you Jenna.. I work afternoons unfortunately and my morning is slammed :(, So I won't be around.. I think I am going to go back to the dealer saturday.. and check out a two door once.. more.. as my 4 door is still there... and will not be ready till Monday lol.. I don't I have ever been so indecisive about a new purchase lol.. damn Jeeps!

 

anytime man. I am always around. Have you found your way to the Central Canada section yet? Awesome guys over there. They have been really good to me. Can answer almost any question and they post runs in the area over there. Let me know if you have any other question I could help with and come out next wednesday, they are a great group of people!

 

Juts bought my 2-door and I'm married with two kids. It's comfortable for everyone with the kids in the back and my wife and I in the front. It's our second car (we also have a minivan) so storage space isn't a priority.

But even with all of us in the car, we're still able to take it to the cottage. Last week we loaded the back storage area with a large suitcase, a small suitcase, a cooler (you'll need a narrow one), and some other misc stuff. It was packed ... but we did it.

So with the back seat out (or even just folded up), I think you'll have tons of space for your dog. I say go with the 2-door, you'll save yourself $4500.

If you want to be sure. Why not take your dog to the dealership and put him in the back?
