Chevy Traverse Towing

Chevy Traverse: Standard 6-Cylinder Engine

Engine power is everything when you’re planning on towing cargo along with you. With the Chevy Traverse, you’ll be working with a standard 3.6L V6 engine with up to 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque, meaning you’ll have all the muscle you need.

This SUV is capable of towing up to 1,500 pounds with the standard trims of this vehicle. If you choose to upgrade to the High-Country trim, though, you’ll enjoy the freedom offered by a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. That’s plenty of power for you to tow a small RV along with you on a trip.

    Heavy-Duty Engineering

    To ensure that your vehicle is able to handle the heaviest loads, the Chevy Traverse is designed with a number of features that help it withstand the demands of towing. Take the available Heavy-Duty Cooling System, this advanced cooling system has been designed to keep your SUV from overheating when towing cargo in difficult conditions.

    To improve aerodynamics and reduce demand on your engine, this SUV features available active aero shutters. This system uses shutters that open and close at high speeds to dynamically optimize your aerodynamics. With improved aerodynamics, your engine will be able to handle the weight of your cargo without having to encounter as much air resistance.

      Standard 9-Speed Transmission

      When you’re looking to withstand the weight of cargo, it’s important to have a vehicle that’s properly designed with a strong transmission. The Chevy Traverse is designed with a standard 9-speed transmission that’s fully equipped to take on any load you put it up to.

      By having more gears built into your vehicle, you’ll be able to space out your engine’s power much more evenly. This system will allow you to have more gears to work with, so you have just the right gear for the situation to allow you to tow most effectively.

      To further configure your drivetrain for optimal towing, this system even offers an available Drive Mode Select with a Tow/Haul mode. Set this mode on and your suspension system and transmission will configure for optimal comfort while bringing cargo along with you.
