I'm looking to buy a 2018 Suburban and use it for transporting my dogs. With the new cargo design, I need to take out the seats that are right behind the driver & passenger or else my dog crate completely blocks my view. It sits too high. I did this on my 2013 and removed all the back seats....

Question... Can I remove the seats and all related components so my dog crate is flat on the floor? Are there pieces of the base of the seat that can't be removed? I would LOVE to see a photo of somebody who has taken out these seats. Can somebody please help? I was all ready to buy the vehicle THIS WEEK until I started to take measurements. The current design won't work for all three of my dog crates. (The back works, but not the space right behind the driver/passenger seat.)

Does anybody have a photo of these seats taken out????? I think the 2017 is the same, so even a photo of seats taken out of the 2017 would be helpful. Thank you!!

 

TKCFIDDLER, was wondering if you had any luck with this. I am awaiting delivery on my 2019 Suburban and would love to remove the 2nd row buckets seats to make more room for my Great Danes to go for rides. So, was curious if you had any luck.

 

Yes! I paid the dealership to take them out. It was quite a procedure since it wasn't designed for them to be removed. They had to take out the carpet and padding in the floor, but it worked!

 

Thanks! I thought the dealer would refuse since it wouldn't be as designed. If you don't mind, I am curious how much they charged to remove them?

 

The first Suburban I got, they tried to refuse. I told them I would only buy the Suburban if they did it. They took the seats out for free. The second company didn't give me a hard time and charged I think about $180-200 to do it.
