Hi. With the
F-250 order placed, I’m now looking at add-ons. I’m going with a truck cap so that
our dogs will have a place to stay when they (eventually) join us. Thanks to existing threads on this and other forums, I have decided on ARE and am looking at the CX and Z series. I think the MX is out of the running due to storage height limitations. I’m looking now because there is an 8-10 week delivery timeframe.
My question is this: will the sliding windows on the z-series (along with an open window to the cab) provide adequate ventilation for dogs? I like the “outdoorsman windoor” option available with the CX (not available with Z) but in truth the pickup bed is too high for me to reach in any get anything easily anyway, and I will either build or purchase a bed slide. I greatly prefer the locking mechansm for the Z’s rear window (coupled with the remote for the truck, and not available for the CX).
I know cabs get warm so this isn’t about keeping the pups safe in extreme conditions. Anyone with ARE caps and dogs care to share their experience?
