Buddy, our wonderful Border Collie we rescued from the sandy desert of Odessa, TX, rides in the front seat of our F-250 PSD with his chin on my thigh. Took him years to decide going on trips with us could be a good thing, but now we can't leave without him.
My parrot (Eddy) rides on the seat, on my shoulder, on the dash,in the back, or wherever he wants to. Hes 26 and has alot to say! Its not all that nice, Thats what we love about him!!!!
Like SilverGate's pets, because of safety reasons Ms. Lulu Sugarfoot rides in a crate on the back cab floor of the Titan. When the back seats are flipped up, there is plenty of room for a large crate. It can be secured to prevent it from rolling around the cab in the event of an accident.

I bet he does speak his mind! Our male Eclectus really enjoys riding and seeing what's going on. He, too, gives a running commentary. The Macaw is curious, but that's about it. I don't think I'd let the Macaw out of the cage in the vehicle - just too much chewing going on. Maybe when he gets through his teen years he will be calm enough to do that, he'll be 4 this summer.
On my last trip I left the Macaw and the Conor in the trailer with the cat; with their cages on the floor. On each leg of the trip that they road back there I had one stop to make sure the trailer was cool enough, and see how they were. Walking back to the trailer I could hear the Macaw playing with his toys, so I knew he wasn't stressed - when he is stressed everyone nearby hears his complaints. The Conor was covered, and content being that way.

Sounds like a blast!! You guys in Texas really do think big. Eddy would freak if I ever put him in a carrier. Maybe one of your birds could speak to him about safety.. Christopher

We bought a K-9 seat belt years ago for our first cocker and now use it for our current one. It keeps him from moving around very much, but that is the idea.
