All the dogs that I've owned were crate trained. Crates in the vehicles for a trip. But they've also just climbed up on the ATV for a short trip too!
The only long trip that I've been on with one of the dogs was when we went dove hunting near Palm Springs, Ca. I lived in Oceanside and we took my buddies CJ5 jeep. No top, no doors. Couldn't fit the cage, so she rode on the passenger side floor between my legs - leash tied to the handhold, just long enough for her to lay down.
It was darn cold going over the mtn., and stupid me didn't bring a warm jacket. Her stainless water dish blew out of the back, and we backtracked to pick it back up. That was a long time ago, and I still use it today, dents, scrapes and all.

Can't go wrong with a Great Dane. We have one now. Big dogs but also big babies. Friendly as can be. Love them, but also wouldn't mind an Irish Wolfhound for our next dog. I love big dogs!

My wife wants a Dane. Why not. Go good with the Bernard and mastiff. Only reason we haven't yet is I've studied up some and the life span seems short. 8 years or so seemed to be about average.

Danes do seem to have short life spans

Yeah, larger dogs tend not to live as long. Neither of our Pyr's lived long lives.

I wouldn't have any pyrs they seem to be the most wondering dogs and a far off neighbor has one that likes to chase at cars

Aren't Danes prone to blindness in their old age too?
