My S-10 is an extended cab but since it is a small truck, it cant transport but one or two dogs. We have 2 rottweilers, one basset hound, and one very old coon dog. That doesnt leave room for the hubby. I dont think the hubby would like that. I am still considering an element but not in a hurry to trade or purchase one at this point yet. I am doing my homework before making that plunge. Keep those ideas coming. Robbie
