I need something like this for my older lab to get into my SUV. How much space does it take up?

This is a GREAT piece of furniture and folds pretty flat, but it is rather heavy and not designed for outside use. There are ramps designed espeically for SUVs and cars that would probably work better, be lighter, and take up even less space.

I have a Honda Element, and it fit nicely on the floor behind the front seats. It's a bit heavy, but I'm in my 60s and had no trouble lifting it in/out. What I like about it for larger dogs is that the steps--when folded out--are much wider than any other pet-steps I've seen, and that makes it much less scary for labs/german shepherds/rotties/dobes etc as it feels, I think, much more stable to them. When not in use, it folds flat. Frankly, one of the best purchases I've ever made.

I used it for my senior Lab mix to help her get into my 2011 Honda CR-V. It worked great until she could no longer make the last hop up into the car. It was easy for me to fold and then slide into the cargo area of the car and I used it indoors at times, too. It really was a great purchase. I gave it away after she died last June and am probably about to get another one for a foster dog (also LabX, about 65 pounds) to help him get on my bed. I would use it for the car again but I had already purchased a PetSTEP folding pet ramp for that or I would use this one for both. Hope that helps.

It will be way more than you need. My 20lb dog has ample room in it. It is quite large and can be cumbersome getting in and out of public transportation (the reason I got it.) It is secure and well made though. If I could have gotten something smaller I would have.

I do not know your dimensions but we use this in sn Audi A4 and a Ford Edge with no problems. The dog is a white labradoddle

The opening is 13 inches wide. My Golden Retriever has no problem. Your lab should be fine.

It's actually not very large. My car weighs about 10 lbs and only fits on the top bed. It is very cute, but probably too small for two pets.

I would not want to move this back and forth. It would be a hassle. I have one determined large dog that will maneuver past this that we are training not to. The other 2 large dogs don't even try. It should work pretty well but it is not full proof. Good luck. If the Explorer is much bigger than a Jeep Grand Cherokee, this MAY be to small.

Yes more than enough space.I use it for my 22lb pug and he has plenty of room and it zips close at top and one side panel. Its like a mesh but I dont see mosquitoes getting in it.

We have a 70 lb lab and have used this ramp to the seat of our Toyota Highlander. It works great. The only thing you might want to do is put a towel under the one side of the ramp that touches the metal of the car. When you use the ramp to the back of a SUV the rubber protects the car, but it doesn't sit the same to the seat. Just throw a towel under it and you will have no problems. Our dog loves this ramp instead of being lifted in and out of the car.

Large enough to fit my 80 lab. But there was no extra room to make it any bigger.

The inside dimensions are approximately 27 x 18". My dog is approximately the size of one shih tzu and there is plenty of room for her. Another answer mentions the inside tether of which there is only one. This is handy if you ride with the front window open. You can always adapt a split leash. We love ours. My dog is older with very short legs and like to ride after part of a walk.

I suggest you measure the width between. I have a large BMW sedan and it is a tight fit. Also have a 6.5 lb dog and she loves it for road trips.

I honestly think that it would be pushing it for your dog. I have 2 small dogs and they fit in there well, but if they were any bigger, it would be a different story. I'm sure that your dog could partially fit in there, but not fully. I think (it's hard to judge) but a lab sized dog would probably be the maxium size. It is fairly tall though, so I think height wise, your dog would fit. Good luck!

Each step is 12" deep x 6.5" high. Overall height of 3 steps is 19". Overall length when open is 38" L. I drive a sports car so have no idea on the height of an SUV. If the SUV is around 25" off the ground, that might work (the last step being 19" plus the SUV interior as an additional step up of 6.5"H). It's not as light as plastic would be for constant setting up and taking down but the deeper steps make it not as steep for some larger pets.

Yes, a small dog will fit in there. Until the dog is accustomed to it, keep a short leash on it, attached to the vehicle. This is a great walker - ours has about 100 miles on it from daily walks. It is holding up nicely - there are no problems at all.

The size I have won't fit in a car. We put both our dogs, one dachshund & chow, in the Krate in the back of our truck. Could fit in an SUV. It comes with plastic clips to hold it into place, with tie downs. Seat-belts...No.

I have only used it to get my 100 lb. lab in my SUV, so I cannot answer the outdoor use question.

We have a Honda Odyssey. I would say it takes up about a quarter of the trunk space.
