Considering buying a Suburban or Yukon and obviously there is a lot of variation in what's out there. Here's what I want, pretty much non-negotiable.
- Stop-and-Go adaptive cruise control (needs to be able to come to a full stop without kicking off the cruise. Tapping the gas to go again is OK)
-Rear view camera (understand those became mandatory about 2017)
-a flat rear floor long enough for me to stretch out all of my 6'2" and get some restful sleep.

I probably have some misconceptions. My impression is that items 1 and 2 may have become available after 2017 and that item 3 requires a bench seat for the 2nd row seats, I've not yet looked at one of those. I need to find out what years and models I need to look at to get those features. I want to keep my purchase price as low as I can though. Not interested in new and 6 years old would be perfectly fine. Any help?

We had 2011, and now have 2014 Yukon Denali XL and both had rear-view cameras. Suburbans and Yukon XL had 3rd row seats that can be removed and 2nd row that could be folded down or removed.Both of these had typical cruise control: touching brake canceled the cruise operation, and one would touch a button re-set once desired speed was achieved.

I believe the change from R134a refrigerant to 1234yf started about 2017.

 

Thanks. A salesman told me that there was a version that had a bench for the 2nd row seats instead of the buckets. I think that might work better for me since there would be no gap in the middle between the seats when they are folded down. He said the buckets and the bench used different mounting rails so for instance to change over you'd have to have the bench seat plus the mounting rails also, and then the carpet might be different as well so fairly involved, however I am competent to make such changes should it come to that.





On the cruise, I'm well familiar with the average cruise control and with several versions of adaptive cruise, not all equal. There seem to be two main versions: The one that kicks out around 20mph or so and has to be brought back up to speed and resumed, and the "stop-and-go" version which can come to a complete stop and remains engaged and can bring the car back up to speed without intervention. 2017 Mazdas had that for instance. I am not interested in the new hands off "Super Cruise".
