Does your pick up have a console? My girl and I travel from Vegas to Carson City (8hr drive) 3-4 times a year to help my elderly folks. Additionally she gets motion sick and needs to see over the dash. I use a leash wraped around the center posts of the head rests with a drop piece attached between the two seats that hangs down just far enough to let TicTac lay down on the console. I measured and marked the entire contraption and took it to my shoe repair shop to firmly stitch it together. It is ajustable and removable. I neatly glued a non-skid pad to the top of the console so she (or her mini-bed) won't slip off. The drop piece attaches nicely to her harness (never a collar) and keeps her safely out of the way of my driving and most importantly away from the air bags. Just being up front and close to me keeps her calm and safe at the same time. Now she pops up onto the console and waits for me to hook her up for our long trips.
