I have a 4 door F250 pick up. I was wondering what is the best transport option. I was thinking a dog box in the back seat, or maybe even removing the rear seat and installing a dog box. What is everyone else doing?

I also have the F250 Super Cab in diesel, but I have a Leer top for the pick up bed with two aluminum crates in the back side by side.
I keep my training equipment, etc. in the back seat area ( with the seats folded up ).
Works for me, I have plenty of room and my dogs are protected from the weather.
If you can not use a top for your pickup bed, your best option is the removal of the rear seats, you should be able to slide in a 400 crate at least then, with enough remaining room for a pile of training equipment.
Good Luck!

Richard,
It depends alot on your needs. Here in western Washington it's fairly mild most of the year so the dog simply rides crated in the uncovered truck bed. I also don't tend to leave the dog crated for longer than 15 minutes when we stop so having to secure her behind a locked door isn't an issue.
However depending on what area of the world you live in, what kind of time frame you need her to wait in the vehicle, attended or not, and what kind of traffic you drive in; it may change your decision about how to pack up and move the dog.
