I did some R2 cargo area measurements because dog crate options are key for me.

Biggest limitation for me is the cargo hatch opening, since I need a crate for a large GSD. Inside cargo area ceiling height is 31" inch-ish, but the cargo opening has a lower lip at around 29" inches. There aren’t really any travel crates the size I need that are that short.

Cargo area width (wheel well to wheel well) is about 41" inch, and depth to the back of seats up is about 36.5" inch.

If it works for your dog, a MIM Variocage Double XL looks like it should fit in the R2 based on your measurements.

I've got the Double XXL+ in my R1S for our 2 ~65 lb GSDs.

Thanks, that’s definitely an option I’ve been looking at. The benefit of a more standard crate that I’ve been hoping for is the ability to take it out of the car and use it to crate at accommodations when traveling. But having that dual function might not be feasible

Thanks for those measurements. I am in the same boat where I will be buying based on a dog crate. I currently have a Gunner in my truck for my dog. Based on your info, I should be good!!!

The cargo depth of about 36” - I assume the rear seats have an angle to them and the depth is shorter higher up? Any idea how much shorter?

I use this one in my R1S and it looks like it will fit R2. https://www.transk9usa.com/items/c12-double-door-crate

Thank you for this. It’s the last piece of the puzzle I’ve been looking for. At least once a month I need to haul my bass rig to a show and was hoping I could fit it all in without dropping the rear seats.

Dude, that is slightly intimidating. And I am a dog person.
My boy is a therapy dog and an absolute love bug. He wants to make friends with all creatures.

Hence the word "Apex" (predator) on his harness.


Just kidding. I can tell they are super sweet. I have found dogs that get bad raps, like pit bulls, can be the most amazing and kind dogs ever. It is how they are raised. Mostly.

I get the Apex predator all the time. 😬
His registered name is Von Marc's Pole Position. Apex is merely a nod to our affinity for F1.
