Hi Roni,
We own a 1998 Ford Windstar. It is a really nice vehicle and I would
recommend them. We do have a slight problem with ours though....our dogs
litterally tore apart the middle seat, so now we only have the 2 front seats
and the bench seat in the back!! LOL. We have hauled both of our llama's in
it..not at the same time..our pony..5 sheep (all at once), etc. I keep
teasing saying I am going to get a small car so we won't be hauling back
critters from places! But we still have our truck, so that won't help
really! Take care, Julie
Blessings, Julie
