    Just picked up a 2016 Chevrolet Suburban LT. This should also apply for the 2015 as well since it's the same design.

    The good news is the width and length of the rear cargo area is the same (4'x8'). The not so good news is the height of the opening into the back has been reduced by 4". The third row seat is now bolted to the floor (non-removable). So, to make the loading area flat, they added this plastic wedge shaped storage bin that's as high as the folded up third row seats. This makes the effective load height right at 32" to get it into the rear cargo area. The problem is getting it in the opening. Once inside, there is 36" of height from the headliner to the loading floor.

    Luckily you can remove this storage bin by lifting out the liner and removing the two large bolts holding it to the floor. This gives you 36" of clearance to get the game into the back area, but the third row seat is at 36" from the opening; so you'll have to lift the game up on the top of the folder rear seats and push the game in. You could unbolt and remove the rear seats from the floor but it's not something you'd want to do with any regularity.

    Leaving the storage bin in place is not an issue with most standard DMD games I've measured most at 29" folded up. But games like Safecracker and Banzai Run will have to have the rear cargo tray removed as they are too tall (SC at 32.5") to get into the opening.

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    BTW... if you have room for a 10-cylinder supercharged monster XUV which can haul four pins by pushing them straight in heads on (and up!)... this is your beast.

    (I considered it... but no one is gonna be parking that thing at the grocery store)

    That reminded me of my old pin hauler we named it "The Beast" just remove or leave the 3rd seat out and it was one hell of a pinball hauler.. Nothing like a big Suburban

    Not a pinball but here is my 94 suburban hauling a 10' skeeball in the truck and carrying a trailer with a midway nfl blitz cabinet. I love it, it can fit a full size midway cabinet in the back and still have room for 3 people. Not sure how many pins I can fit, I only have gotten one at a time. Edit....Added a photo of my Addams Family in the back

    Update on 2016 Suburban. I was able to get 3 games in this at once. I transported an ACDC, Avatar and an older EM at the same time.

    Fold down the 2nd and 3rd row seats. First modern pin in and then rotated 90 degrees behind the driver's and passenger's seats. Second modern game in the back and pushed as far over to the driver's side of the vehicle as possible. Head removed from EM and body in on the right side of the back and the EM head put in last. I was able to get a hand cart in there but it went in on top of the EM cabinet before the head was placed in. I wrapped the head to protect the glass from the cart. All the legs and coin boxes went in the footwell area behind the driver's and passenger's 2nd row folded down seats. Tools and stuff in the passenger seat foot area. It's tight but it all fit.

    Based on measuring I “should” be able to fit into my 2015 Escalade ESV. It would be the same as the suburban or Yukon xl. Can anyone confirm?
    Thanks!

    My favorite vehicles is a suburban/Denali, or Ford Expedition.
    I use this style of vehicle for my fly one-way, drive one-way pin trips.
    You can get one game in side ways, and two games side by side behind it for a total of 3 games, but two easily fit. Keeps the pins secured inside and makes it more difficult, than a trailer for someone to steal your games.

    Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

    Any minivan where the seats fold flat will work. Odyssey and Sienna.

    I'm assuming one would go width way through the doors and the other would go long way?

    There's a 2022 Chevrolet Suburban available. Wondering if that would work. Would hate to get there and it doesn't.

    I will look for a Sienna or an Odyssey
