Maybe one previous owner with a ball cap has beaten him? It’s the counter part of shelter dogs, you never know the “baggage” of past experiences they carry . Mine came from a family that had a mastiff with puppies and was aggressive with him, he came all the travel with his big head in my shoulder and the paws in the gear and steering wheel, fortunately no popos around .
Next day I wanted to take him to the mountains but didn’t want to mount in the car, had to push him inside but escaped because front door was open. Very nervous while travelling, guess he thought I wanted to give him back.
Descending in a mud pathway in the woods he almost threw me down by pulling, I took a stick and threatened him but he laid down instantly four legs in the air and with panic in his face. I understood he was beaten before and never did it again.
Now he is more confident and rushes inside the car as it means walking in the countryside and just rule him with my voice. This means that you will have to be patient, at least now he feels safe in his crate and it’s “home” for him.
It takes longer to build trust and confidence, don’t think the problems you mentioned are big enough and can be solved with time and patience, I am sure you will find the way …
