    Just bought a 2018 traverse and the body style is a little different than the 2017 and prior models on the list. I will be picking up a NIB CGC game next week and was wondering if the game in the box will fit in the new body style traverse. Apparently it wouldn't fit in the old body style. If someone knows the dimensions of a CGC game box, please let me know.

    Quoted from blastbeat:

    Not sure if mentioned...Kia Telluride fit a pin fine. Moved a couple B/W titles with room to spare (2020/21 can't remember wife got it when they first came out).
    Also 2019 Tahoe LT do fit but I had to take top plastic trim off (pops off). It may have made it but started to scrape and I just popped the top trim off temporarily.

    Long story short: 2019 Tahoe will fit a pinball machine once the rear storage tray is removed.

    I've owned a Traverse for the past 9 years and both the 2012 and the 2018 fit pins perfectly. We wanted a little bigger vehicle so we bought a 2019 Tahoe. I started my 2 hour drive to get a pin the other day and thought the Tahoe should have at least the same size opening as the Traverse, if not bigger. I was wrong. With the plastic piece around where the power cord plugs into the backbox, the Stern would not fit. Fortunately I read a previous post that recommended taking the plastic storage tray out. It takes no time to remove and there is plenty of room once it is removed.

    Quoted from schudel5:

    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 hisokajp:

    Anyone know if i could put 2 Stern NIB side by side (laying down) on a pick up truck flat bed?
    I have two games to pick up and instead of doing 2 trips with my SUV i was thinking of renting a pickup truck to do them both at once. Entreprise has good rate near my place for a Chevrolet Colorado or a F150.

    I don't think there is any way you could put them side by side laying down in boxes. I do think they would fit standing up one in front of the other. I don't know this for sure and it depends on what style of pickup you rent. My guess is, side by side would require somewhere around 5.5 to 6 feet wide.

    Quoted from JohnMatrix:

    Anyone try to fit one in a 2021 model year or newer Tahoe?

    It's crazy to think it might not fit with how big a Tahoe is, but I had to remove a plastic in my 2019 Tahoe to get a Stern to fit. I'm not sure about the 2021 or newer model.
