What is the 2021 Chevy Traverse Towing Capacity?

The new Chevy Traverse is a fantastic family-oriented SUV. It boasts a spacious interior with three rows of seating and a cavernous cargo compartment, and the 5,000-pound Chevy Traverse towing capacity also makes it incredibly versatile. What does it take to safely bring Chevrolet Traverse towing to its limit? Hendrick Chevrolet Hoover has your complete guide to the 2021 Chevy Traverse towing capacity, below. 

Chevrolet Traverse Towing Range 

5,000 pounds is the maximum limit for the 2021 Chevy Traverse towing capacity. In order to reach that limit, Birmingham drivers need to equip their SUV with the Chevrolet Trailering Package. Without the Trailering Package, the Chevrolet Traverse towing limit is lowered to 1,500 pounds. 

Explore Chevrolet Traverse Towing and Performance Features

In total, the 2021 Chevy Traverse offers seven configurations to Vestavia Hills drivers: L, LS, LT Cloth, LT Leather, RS, Premier, and High Country. Every trim gets a 310-hp 3.6L V6 engine that can achieve 266 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, so you can look forward to smooth acceleration on Bessemer-area highways. 

When it comes to Chevrolet Traverse towing, there are several accessories and packages available to elevate your experience:

• Available Trailering Package: This optional package equips the Traverse with a hitch so you can start towing as soon as you bring your SUV home. It also has a heavy-duty cooling system, so your engine is protected during heavy-duty towing. 
• Tow/Haul Mode: The Traverse has a Driver Mode Control dial that includes a Tow/Haul mode. Dialing into this drive mode prompts the transmission shift points to auto-adjust while towing; when you accelerate the transmission maintains a low gear to provide more torque, and when you’re going downhill the transmission downshifts so you can maintain low speed without burning out the brakes. 
• Trailer Sway Control: This is a feature of StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability Control. When towing, Trailer Sway Control picks up on trailer sway and applies gentle brake pressure to help get the trailer back on course safely.
