Izzo loves his Lightning Throne. he can see out even when lying down! I did have to lock the rear window controls but the rear seat heater console controls are out of reach luckily. 1/2" plywood. supports are out of cedar so the whole thing is very lightweight. the bed mat came from Petsmart and is a perfect fit but I did have to put some straps near the door to keep it in place.

P.S. yes he's named after Michigan State hall of fame BB coach, Tom Izzo! GO GREEN!

You gotta love how there was so much available space to fit in a custom spot like this for him. Awesome mod, and cute pup!

Not going to lie, with the title I was hoping you made him some type of travel toilet. ?‍♂??

Very nice! My dog Hunter (should have named him Barker, that’s his only skill) loves the nice big flat floor area. He can see out the windows if he stands up, but he is usually standing right behind us with his head on the console or laying on my arm.

FYI. My dogs activated the rear seat heaters by accident and the seat got really really hot due to dog bed on the seat. I removed the rear seat heater fuse and it eliminated the chance of seat heater causing damage.

That sounds so cute! We'd love to see a pic of Hunter and your F-150 Lightning!

That's good safety practice, Jerry! We'd love to see a pic of your dogs relaxing in your Lightning!
