Key Features
Vehicle-Specific Fitment for Ford Explorer (2020–2023)
This insert is purpose-built to fit seamlessly into the rear seat area of 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 Ford Explorer models. The design utilizes the full backseat space to provide maximum room for your working dog without requiring permanent modifications to the vehicle.
Spacious Single Dog Compartment
With generous dimensions and a full-width floor pan, this insert gives your K9 partner ample space to move, rest, and stay comfortable during travel or fieldwork.
Front Sliding Door with Stainless Steel Latching Handle
Access is made easy with a front sliding door that includes an industry-first stainless steel latching handle. This heavy-duty latch ensures quick, secure closure and smooth operation even with repeated use in demanding conditions.
Ventilated Design with 1-Inch Diameter Holes
Ventilation and visibility are essential for K9 safety. This crate features a series of 1-inch diameter holes to allow airflow and ensure that your dog remains cool and aware of its surroundings during transport.
Full-Length Floor Pan with No Gaps
Safety is prioritized with a floor pan that extends from one end of the compartment to the other—eliminating any spaces where your dog could potentially trap feet or legs.
½-Inch Thick Non-Slip Rubber Floor Mat
The entire floor is lined with a durable, non-slip rubber mat to improve traction, reduce fatigue, and prevent injuries. It’s easy to clean and provides reliable comfort for dogs in all weather conditions.
Rattle-Free Construction
Designed to be silent during transit, the Owens 55319 eliminates annoying rattles and vibrations. This helps reduce stress for your dog and keeps your vehicle environment quiet and professional.
Optional Divider for Dual Compartment Use
For handlers who transport two dogs, an optional divider is available (sold separately – Part Number 55309) to convert the single compartment into a double crate setup.
