Does anyone know if long-wheel base (suburban/caddy ESV) floor carpet can be made to fit the standard length SUV (Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade)? The front part is 100% the same, the central section that goes under the captains seems to be at least fitting if not the same, but I'm not sure if just cutting the excess length in the trunk section will do the job — Suburban seem to have more leg space for the third row than the Tahoe and that effectively means the cutouts and plastic guides for the seats are placed differently.

I know the wheelbase on the long bodies is longer and the 2nd row seats are not interchangeable between long and short so the carpet definitely won't be the same in the center section.
That isn't to say that it couldn't be made to work but it is definitely different.

The 2nd row seats are definitely interchangeable (because my 2nd row seats are actually from suburban), but you're right: the center section is in fact different. That leaves me with the same front piece and a lot of cutting for the center and the trunk sections. Not worth it from the looks of it.

While I haven't tried it myself, everyone on here that tried to swap from 2nd row buckets to 2nd row bench had to get seats from the same type of truck, longbody to longbody/shortbody to shortbody. There are several threads where guys that wanted the opposite seats from what they had met up to swap seats and claim they wouldn't fit.
But again, I have never tried it myself.
