Most SUVs have a sloped back to present a more streamlined profile. However, this sloped back cuts interior space for your dog and gear. Moreover, you want a setup with a front gate to prevent pup from bounding out when the rear hatch is opened.
Here is a contender from General Cage. The price is around $200. The crate is trapazoidal at about 32" at the bottom and maybe 24" at the top. This permits you to have at least one rear seat up while also closing the tailgate of the car.
The crate's 25" width means one crate per car.
Spring-loaded hardware makes assembly and gate use easy. Gate opens with one hand.
You will probably replace this heavy, noisy metal pan with the lighter and more manageable ABS plastic pan.
A 55 lbs dog fits reasonably well, even when pouting.
There is room for gear on the side.
Reasonable headroom for a medium-sized dog and you can toss a towel or two on top.
