You can’t miss Kristina Williamson and her goldendoodle at the 2020 Jeep Wrangler.
“Maverick is my co-pilot,” said Williamson, co-host of “Broadway and Krissy in the Morning” on New Country 93.1 FM in Detroit, which airs Monday through Friday from five a.m. to 10 a.m.
“I have the doors and roof of the Jeep 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He just sits in my passenger seat and watches other people pass,” he says. “Everyone smiles at their red lights. It’s a wonderful pandemic because we can all laugh smoothly right now, and it lights up all the faces that catch it when we’re on our way to adventure.”
Having his first dog in April “pretty perfect,” he said.
Maverick is a quarantined puppy. He arrived a few weeks after the Jeep.
“The couch is broken. The carpet is completely torn that you can a little anyway because you’re alone. I love the dog, but everything is destroyed. I was going to put it in education but COVID came. I’m looking to realize that,” said Williamson, 28, from New Jersey who moved to Michigan for the task of his dreams a year ago.
“Girl, it’s probably the biggest challenge I’ve ever had, yet it’s the most productive challenge I’ve ever faced, raising my most productive friend,” she says. “The Wrangler brought us together. It brought us together, that’s for sure.”

The 2020 Jeep Wrangler, like Williamson’s now owns, has been named one of the 10 most sensitive cars for dog lovers through Autotrader.com, a reputable online marketplace for buyers and car sellers.
“Our dogs are our circle of relatives and we need to integrate them into the action,” Jim Morrison, head of the Jeep brand, FCA-North America, told Free Press. “There’s nothing like traveling backcountment at the Jeep Wrangler with our four-legged friends.
Morrison provided a symbol of his rescue dogs, Daisy and Turbo, fortunately hanging in the seats of his Jeep in the afternoon sun.
The new annual list of dog lovers that has just been published, which gives a number of vehicle sizes, prices, design features and animal-friendly accessories, recommends, without any specific order:
These cars come with giant back doors, low charging floors, dog protection harnesses and even a special generation to accommodate dogs, as is the case with Tesla.
“This is a list based on features,” said Brian Moody, editor-in-chief of Autotrader. “The Ford F-150 is a perfect pickup truck. But we didn’t find anything convincing to say, “Hello, dog owners, this feature is for you” just as we did with other types of vehicles. In addition, many animal protection experts say that vans are not the most productive way to send your pet »”.
In addition to the Wrangler, Fiat Chrysler is building a popular pickup truck that is also on the list.
Meanwhile, Moody said Volvo and Subaru go “beyond” looking to impress dog owners. He emphasized the integrated appearance and feel of features such as partitions, separations and cages found in Volvo vehicles. Volvo sets a gold standard.
“When you put your dog in a cage, it’s really for protection reasons. And occasionally they like to be caged,” Moody said. “Subaru has a strong puppy adoption program, they give the most to those causes. It’s more than strength and harnesses. We’re talking about life.”
Doghouse owners have a “deep atmosphere” and take seriously the decision to decide on the vehicles, said Moody, who personally organizes the list. “I can’t believe other people take their Jeep off the road and take their cat with them. It’s a dog thing. And Chrysler and Jeep do a wonderful job of creating accessories that fit the vehicle with appearance and feel.”
Meanwhile, Tesla has a “dog mode” that allows owners to lock their pets in the car, leave the vehicle switched on to run heat or air-conditioning, and a message on the big screen inside the vehicle says, ” ‘Don’t worry. My owner knows I’m here and the cabin temperature is set to 68 degrees,’ ” Moody said. “That’s pretty spectacular.”
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to motivate cautious behavior, more and more people spend time in cars than on planes or trains.
Another trend is the increased adoption of dogs, especially dogs.
“We see many other young people in their twenties and 30 years adopting dogs for camping and hiking,” said Debbie Thurman, director of the Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society in Detroit. “The larger dogs were not followed or followed so quickly, and dogs that had behavioral problems. It’s the dogs that were super hot. Now other people need active dogs that run everywhere.”
The shelter now allows visitors to search online for possible options and meetings with potential adoptive families take position outside, Thurman said there is no legal responsibility to take an animal and that if things don’t work out, the animals can be returned.
“We need things to go well,” he said. “We have a behaviorist to adapt the dogs to families. We see many other people on leave because of COVID. People take longer; are at home with a circle of family and children. I think shelters in the United States are more empty than they have been.”
Michigan car dealership Thad Szott sees an increase in the number of dog owners, he said.
He sold Ford, Dodge and Ram, as well as Jeep, Chrysler and Toyota. And hear consumers communicate about area demand, puppy desires and long car journeys.
“It would possibly be unexpected if there are many dogs that own Toyotas, even if they are not as well known as, say, Jeep. But the Sienna van, they have a lot of crazy space,” Szott said. “You place it next to a full-size SUV and the way minivans are designed now, they can accommodate much more. You look and you think, there’s no way. It doesn’t make sense. But the minivan has a garage on the floor and you can rate it crazy. People have stuff, man. They all have a lot of things.”
Entering six months of COVID-19 restrictions has led others to spend more time away from others, distancing themselves from social locations in remote locations.
“I keep listening: “We want more area because our dogs accompany us “or” We want more area because we take our dogs north,” he said. We sell more Four-door Jeep Wrangler to other people who have dogs because there is so much area. Dogs seem to be a little happier. You want a dog in your life, man.”
