Quoted from northvibe:I'm curious if it can fit 2.....
Only 1 pin will fit in a flex. I use a hollow core door to distribute the weight. The hatch latch will rip a hole right down the bottom of the cabinet if you aren't careful.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:Will a WPC widebody machine fit ok in a Ford Flex?
Yes, it will fit, plus a dolly and a third person.

Not an issue on the 2014s, possibly 2013s as well.
I moved pins with my 07 Jeep Liberty and my 09 Jeep Wrangler 4DR.
So, any 02-07 Jeep Liberty and any Jeep Wrangler 07+ unlimited will fit pins easy.
Quoted from elross66:Fit a Mousin Around (system11) in a 2012 VW Tiguan.
Wow, really? Are System 11 games shorter when folded than WPC (29")? I did not measure 29" clearance on the hatch of my 2012 Tiguan, for sure...
Quoted from Cappi:A 2013 Toyota Sienna will hold 2 pins with the middle seats removed. Both loaded from the back but the first pin is turned 90* behind the front seats, second pin was loaded back box first.

In my '04 I can move two machines and three passengers (maybe I took off one head?). Gottlieb System 3 will fit through the side door, WPC won't. One pin will fit with the second row seats in place.

Picked up my NIB Stern today and it fit in my Wrangler 4DR with the pallet still on.

lol... that's awesome! I did not want the pallet anyway, so that's why I removed it from it.

Quoted from annointed:My GF has a Kia Sportage. I have picked up several pins in it, and the only issue was with Super Mario Bros (Gottlieb System 3, surprise, surprise). It BARELY fit. I had to shove the last inch of the game home (cringed as I did).
When I picked up Stargate, I used my mother's Honda Oddesey. Room galore.
Street Figter 2 I got with my black Forester XT, but it wasn't pretty (removed backbox and the center console). Now reading the latest posts, it looks like I could have just put SF2 on its side, doh!
I don't suppose you know if a sportage will fit a Bally Widebody?

Just wanted to share, as the pinwiki site lists subaru outback will not fit. The 1994-1998 Subaru Legacy outback will fit all pinballs with the head folded down except Gottlieb System 3, sys3 will hang out the back 6". Somewhere inbetween 1998 and 2003 the Legacy Outback received provisions for a child restraint anchor. With the anchor in you get 28" of room, if you pull back the plastic interior piece (held in with a few clips, just yank it straight down) , and remove the metal restraint anchor you get a little over 30" height clearance. 2003 -2009 is a bit smaller but will fit standard size games with the backbox on the side of the cabinet.
I'll likely be looking to get a new pin-hauler in 2015. Would like it to be 30+ MPG Highway, room enough for my 6'4" height with adequate legroom / headroom, game slide in-out on flat surface. If such a vehicle exists that will haul 2 DMD's with heads on would be a bonus. Everything I've looked at can only haul one game so far or two with heads removed.

Ford Transit 1.6L ecoboost has 30mpg. I'm not a fan of that engine at its release, but they have seemed to of ironed out the issues with it now.
Quoted from northvibe:Ford Transit 1.6L ecoboost has 30mpg.
That small an engine would have me worried especially during the winter months.
Anyone attempt to fit a pin in a late model Santa Fe? I drive an 06, am very happy with the vehicle itself and wouldn't mind picking up a newer model...........but only if it fits a pin! LOL
Quoted from GravitaR:That small an engine would have me worried especially during the winter months.
why's that? It is a 1.6L turbo 187hp. Not bad. I wish they had the diesel here....

It is the #1 choice of "ex-Matrix XRS" (pin)ballers I hear... 
Realistic MPG on 1.6 EcoBoost is more like 22 city and 30+-ish for pure highway with a 24-25mpg average for combo. Then again, I drive with a fairly heavy foot... I've pushed it as high as 34mpg with CC on but, that # didn't last too long once the grapevine came up.
Fits NIB's pretty easily too! (SWB model)
I went with a custom XLT SWB (Midnight Sky color) in the 1.6L EB mainly because the LWB seats don't come completely out. (which is lame!) I also like the SWB better for overall handling, MPG and of course the daily drivability.
Downside is, these babies take almost SIX months to get if you want to go with a non-standardized dealer model. Mainly because they are assembled in Valencia Spain.
Those that worry/feel that the 1.6 EcoBoost is "underpowered", I urge them to come take a ride with me. 
It's pretty damn nimble... *rimshot*

Will have to take one for a test drive if available in my area. Thanks.

Be careful with those 6803 games. The Party Animal barely fit into my QX4.
I actually had to remove the plastic molding along the floor at the latch to get the game to come out.

Really? I had a Dungeons and Dragons in my QX4 with no problems at all.

Hey, man. No selfies allowed on this thread. 
Thanks to this thread, everyday as I drive down the road I look at the various cars and imagine if they will fit a pinball machine or not (based on space and the space at their opening door / trunk.
Quoted from o-din:2001 Tacoma pre-runner. Only ride I need.
Agreed... have an 02 double cab prerunner and the bed length is just right to haul a pin.
What model topper do you have? My Snugtop is almost to tight for comfort with late model folding pins and I might want to change it out.
Quoted from isJ:Curious if anybody knows anything about the Nissan Juke? I haven't measured anything in person; just trying to shortcut and have somebody do the work for me.
I looked at one....it is pretty short. I don't think a pin would fit....The rear hatch slopes HARD.
Quoted from ddebuss:Anyone know if a 2015 Jeep Cherokee will fit a pin? Not the grand, just the regular Cherokee.
Pretty sure it will...I think it is bigger than my escape and that fits a pin with lots of room.

Sounds like a category on Jeopardy: I'll take "vehicles that a pinball machine fits in" for $600, Alex.

I don't know...as a pin barely (~0.25" to 0.5") fits in my 2012 GC.

it barely fits in a grand? you mean the opening height or length of the game.
Quoted from LitzDoc:What about a new Honda Pilot? A TZ fits in my 09 Pilot but I think the new Hondas are smaller.
Thanks.
my pin partner has a 12 honda pilot I think. Fits great.
Anyone know if or used a Mazda CX-7 for moving a pin? I see the CX-5 will fit them, and also earlier in the thread a Nissan Rouge was used (with the head off) to move one. I know the 5 is a bit taller and therefore wider opening than the 7. Hopefully it'll fit, as that'd make moving one a bit easier in my near future. Trying to fit a South Park.
