There are several things that people consider when buying a Jeep. Many people will factor in off-roading capability, cargo space, costs, and of course will the Jeep accommodate their four-legged friend? In fact, the 2022 Jeep Wrangler was just voted one of the 10 Best Cars for Dog Lovers for the fourth time.
A recent Autotrader survey finds that 85% of dog owners think about driving with their dogs when considering what vehicle to buy. That very same survey finds that 68% of dog owners take their on a car trip at least once per week.

“The Jeep Wrangler is probably the perfect vehicle for adventure-seeking dog owners,” said Brian Moody, executive editor for Autotrader. “In addition to its off-road ability, Jeep offers plenty of great accessories, like a soft crate and other items, that make riding with your four-legged best friend safe and easy.”
Autotrader ranks vehicles based on:
-
Durable seats – Vinyl, leather, and faux leather are the preferred seating materials for dog lovers, thanks to their durability and easy cleaning.
-
Low cargo floor – Even a bigger dog can be intimidated by a tall cargo floor. A low floor makes it more accessible for small dogs and those with mobility issues.
-
Rugged interior – Even the best-behaved dogs can accidentally cause damage to delicate surfaces. A rough-and-ready interior can better stand up to dogs and their typical dog habits.
-
Accessories – Several manufactures include dog accessories, like pet screens, in their catalogs. The aftermarket also supplies great harnesses, kennels, and other pet travel essentials.
As far as Autotrader's checklist, the 2022 Wrangler pretty much fits all of them. The 2022 Wrangler really does make it easy to take your best friend on the road or trail. All-weather floor and cargo mats protect the interior from mud, dirt and all the messes a dog can make. In fact, dogs and their owners may enjoy one of Jeep's newest upgrades – the Wrangler now offers a hybrid version – the Wrangler 4xe – which allows the Jeep to operate in nearly complete silence.
Now that we are heading into more dog-friendly temperatures, now is the time to get you and your best co-pilot into the 2022 Jeep Wrangler! Schedule your test drive today!
