    I would say it depends on the dog, but most would have a hard time. No way our 100lb Great Pyrenees could.

    My fatass dog gets in and out of there just fine. 125 pounds, and all I have are factory running boards, which she actually uses.

    My Bullmastiff does it. Sometimes he’s a drama queen and wants a lift but he does it fine especially when a bribe is in back seat for him.

    With ease. I have the worlds laziest 85lb lab and she hops up inside with zero issues.

    My 3yo and 12yo labs get in and out just fine (usually). Tonight when I got home with them, I parked too close to the wall and, while the door opened all the way, my 12yo thought it was too cramped to jump down and I had to help her.

    My pit cross has no problem getting in and out. He is at 85 lbs, not as active as he used to be but still jumps right on in.

    Our Pyrenees / Aussie Shepherd mix wasn't sure she could make it the first time, but she figured it out fine when I tossed a Milkbone up there. :)

    Wow. I guess our Great Pyrenees is a wimp. She can barely make it into a minivan!

    Yes, only if the seats are up and he uses the floor.
    He just jumps in.
    otherwise I need to deal with this.

    and this.
    hard to drive when you become a licking pad for him.
    So with the seats down he can't reach my head. 8^0

    My older female German Shepherd weighs only about 60lbs and uses the running boards.

    My 3 year old male Rottweiler weighs probably around 110-120lbs and he just jumps in. Big athletic dog, only Rottweiler I’ve ever seen who chases frisbees, we can still see his waist… most Rottweilers are barrel shaped. Good thing he’s a total lover dog, or he could be one dangerous sumbitch. Instead he is a total ham, and attention whore.

    I also have a Rottweiler. 120lbs big athletic dog. He’s my service dog so I had to adapt the truck to fit us. I took out the 60 split and platformed it so he actually has more room to jump in and out.
