a 4'x4' box is perfect size for up to 4 dogs. A box 2'x6' that sits on the bedrails or behind the rear window wis perfect for 3 dogs. All my boxes are 22-24" high. Well ventilated with rig holes for hot days and painted a light color so as not to absorb heat.

Keep in mind that it is much easier to kill a dog with heat, than to freeze him to death.

so really you cant go wrong with big and lots of vents as long as you can open and close them
