An All-Around Engine Performance

Before diving into the hauling capabilities of the Chevy SUV, we need to first set the foundation for your driving experience with the engine it has under the hood. Across all seven Traverse trim levels, you’ll receive the same great engine, a 3.6L V6. This engine will arm you with 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque, plenty of muscle for the local roadways.

While impressively powerful, the Traverse will also perform extremely efficiently when considering the size and class of the vehicle. The standard 9-speed automatic transmission helps the Traverse earn an EPA-estimated 18 city/27 highway MPG, perfect for those long road trips.

Corresponding Towing Prowess

Having this powerful engine under the hood, it comes as no surprise that the Traverse performs well when it comes to towing. When properly equipped, the Traverse will prove capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds. Use this capability to hitch up a larger trailer and haul your boat to the lake, 4-wheeler to the mountains, and everything in between.

While you need the proper equipment and trailering package to achieve this maximum towing output, the standard capability is quite impressive in its own right. Standardly, the Traverse comes ready to tow up to 1,500 pounds, still plenty of muscle for jet skis and other moderately sized gear.

Enhancing the Traverse Towing Performance

If you’re looking to build upon the performance offered by these maximum towing outputs, you could explore adding some available technology and features. The most prominent system you could add is the available All-Wheel Drive. This is not available on the base trim, but when equipped on others, it will allow you to handle adverse driving conditions like snow and sleet with ease.

Chevy also offers a Hitch Guidance feature with Hitch View. When equipped with this, you’ll be able to see a live feed via your Rear Vision Camera, making it easier to line up your trailer to your tow hitch. Plus, the Hitch View will allow you to check up on your trailer while in transit, viewing live feed and making sure everything is secure on the go.
