Find the right fit for your back seat

Start with your rear-seat measurements, then compare SUV and Truck XL.

Two sizes. Same hard bottom.

Compare the platform width and depth with the available space across your rear bench.

SUV — 51.9 × 24.8 in platform

SUV — 51.9 × 24.8 in platform

The smaller platform for rear benches that fit these measurements. Check the door-to-door space and depth to the front seatbacks.

Truck XL — 56 × 29 in platform

Truck XL — 56 × 29 in platform

A wider, deeper platform for larger rear benches. Vehicle type alone does not guarantee a fit.

Three measurements

Do this in the vehicle the dog actually rides in.

Bench width

Measure the usable space across the rear bench. Compare with the platform width: 51.9 in for SUV or 56 in for Truck XL.

Bench to front seatbacks

With the front seats in their usual position, measure from the rear seatback to the front seatbacks.

Latch and headrests

Check that the headrests can hold the straps and that the seat-belt buckles remain accessible.

How the tether works

Route a compatible tether through the opening and attach it to a harness, never a collar. The hammock includes basic tethers; the separate Black Dog tether is an optional upgrade.

Comfort pad is optional

The 51 × 24 in plush pad adds a soft layer on top of the hammock.
