As your local Chevrolet Traverse dealer, here at Kearny Mesa Chevrolet we know a thing or two about hardworking vehicles. While it may seem like a simple SUV, the 2022 Chevy Traverse has major pulling power. Let’s explore this rugged vehicle’s towing capabilities, and determine whether it’s the right fit for you. 

Towing Capacity

Depending on how you equip your vehicle, the 2022 Chevy Traverse can tow anywhere from 1,500 to 5,000 pounds, depending on the trim level you choose. Every Chevy Traverse trim is equipped with a front-wheel drive, but an all-wheel drive is also available. 
The Chevy Traverse’s interior is also equipped to haul plenty of cargo. It leads its class in first-row cubby storage, and the second- and third-row seats fold down to stow extra items. 

Towing Features

As powerful as it is comfortable, this model’s standard 310-horsepower V6 engine provides plenty of pull. The 9-speed automatic transmission guarantees a smooth ride over any terrain, and a power rear liftgate is available on select trims. 
Other notable towing features include: 
  • An Available Trailering Package that adds a hitch to hook your trailer onto the back of the Chevy Traverse. A heavy-duty cooling system keeps your engine running cooler for longer, allowing it to work harder as you tow. 
  • Trailer Sway Control features the Stabilitrak® Electronic Stability Control System. It senses when your trailer is swaying off the path and course-corrects by controlling the brakes. 
  • Tow/Haul Mode, controlled via the Driver Mode Control dial, improves towing by automatically adjusting transmission shift points. The Chevy Traverse switches to a lower gear while accelerating to increase torque. When traveling downhill, it downshifts to maintain speed without the need for constant heavy braking.
