Chevrolet Traverse Towing Equipment

As mentioned, reaching the maximum Chevy Traverse towing capacity of 5,000 pounds requires having the right equipment for the job. The available Chevy trailering package includes:

• A trailer hitch capable of towing a boat or trailer of up to 5,000 pounds
• Heavy-duty cooling system to prevent the engine from overheating when pulling heavy loads.

2023 Chevrolet Traverse: Engine & Tow-Friendly Features 

The 2023 Chevy Traverse is available in six configurations: LS, LT Cloth, LT Leather, RS, Premier, and High Country. Each comes equipped with a 3.6L V6 engine that’s capable of 310 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. The engine is connected to a 9-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifts on Salina roads. 

• Tow/Haul Mode: The Driver Mode Selector dial includes a Tow/Haul mode that automatically adjusts the transmission shift points so you can tow with ease. During acceleration, the transmission will stay in a lower gear for longer to deliver more torque. As you travel downhill, the transmission will downshift to make it easier to retain your speed without heavily applying the brakes. 
• Available Hitch Guidance: This available feature displays hitch guidance lines on the Rear Vision Camera when you’re reversing, helping you line up the hitch and the trailer in fewer attempts. You can also monitor your trailer while driving via the Rear Vision Camera display. 
• Available Hitch Guidance with Hitch View: The addition of Hitch View gives you a close-up view of the trailer hitch while you’re reversing, making it even easier to get lined up. While driving, you can see a close-up view of the trailer connection point on the Rear Vision Camera to ensure everything is still secure.

Of course, when you want a vehicle with towing capabilities, it’s also important for the vehicle to pack some power as well. That’s why the new Chevy Traverse comes standard with a 3.6L 310hp V6 engine that’s capable of delivering 266 lb-ft of torque! Furthermore, you can enhance the Chevrolet Traverse towing capabilities with features, such as:

• Tow/Haul Mode: This enables the vehicle to stay in a lower gear longer to deliver more torque and tugging power.
• Available Hitch Guidance: Displays hitch guidelines when you’re backing up to your trailer to make hitching easier.
• Available Hitch Guidance with Hitch View: Works like hitch guidance while providing a close-up view of the trailer hitch.
