A couple of members touched base on this recently, but darned if I can remember in which of the many threads I've read in the past week. How do you control your pet (dog) when in the vehicle? The safest way of course is in a crate, except that was the worst thing I could do to each of my two previous dogs.
I tried the harness/seat belt way with my first dog... the first thing she did was get twisted up in it so that if I ever did stop quick it would do more harm than good. No doubt they need to be trained to use them.
Ruger had a platform on the back seat if each pickup, which acted somewhat like a crate except in the case of a rollover. I'm thinking about improving on this when I get my next pup, with some type of barrier so that they only occupy half of the seat.
