Packing on the Go: Chevy Traverse vs Toyota Highlander

If you do a lot of large shopping trips or extensive travel, it should be your imperative to maximize your cargo potential. The best place to start is with a family SUV and both the Chevy Traverse and the Toyota Highlander are designed for easy storage.

In the back of the Toyota Highlander, you’ll have a standard 13.8 cubic feet of cargo volume available to you. Of course, if that’s not enough space you can always fold the third row of seats for 42.3 cubic feet of space. Finally, that expands to 83.7 cubic feet if you choose to fold down the second row of seats.

Drivers with some serious carbo needs though will likely be drawn to what the Chevy Traverse has available. To start, you’ll have 23 cubic feet behind the third row which expands to 57.8 cubic feet with the third row folded. If you need an extensive amount of space though, simply fold the second row of seats for 98.2 cubic feet of cargo volume.
