Chevy Traverse Towing Capacity

When properly equipped, the 2020 Chevy Traverse can tow up to 5,000 pounds of trailer weight behind the vehicle.¹ With this kind of towing capacity at your fingertips, you’ll be able to move all sorts of things with the Traverse including:

• A couple of personal watercrafts or a small recreational boat for a weekend on the water
• A hard-side camper or pop-tent trailer when you want to get away from civilization
• Utility trailers strapped with big toys, like dirt bikes, snowmobiles, or ATVs
• Flatbed trailers piled high with mulch and other supplies for your next DIY landscaping project
• Other small vehicles or a box trailer to move your vintage vehicle to your next car show

The towing capabilities of the 2020 Chevy Traverse are made possible by several high-performance systems starting with the standard 3.6L V6 engine. It generates an impressive 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque.

You’ll need to pair the outstanding power output of this engine with the optional trailering equipment package to tow with the Traverse. The package includes a trailer hitch, a heavy-duty cooling system to prevent the engine from overheating, trailering assist guidelines, and Hitch Guidance with Hitch View.¹

Hauling Cargo Inside the Cabin

The 2020 Chevy Traverse is classified as a midsize SUV, meaning this model sports a fairly spacious cabin. On top of everything you’ll be able to pull with the model’s 5,000-pound towing capacity, the interior dimensions of the Traverse make it ideal for hauling cargo inside the cabin.

In total, the Traverse offers a whopping 98.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row of seats. That’s more than enough space to haul a week’s worth of camping equipment, supplies for your next home improvement project, and even boxes and furniture for your first-born’s big move to college.

Even if you need some of the rear seats to fit the family in, you’ll still have 57.8 cubic feet of cargo space with the third-row folded. With no seats folded at all, you’ll have 23 cubic feet to work with.
