Chevy Traverse Maximum Towing Capacity

As a leader in the midsize SUV class, the 2020 Chevy Traverse is a powerhouse when it comes to capability. When properly equipped, this model can move up to 5,000 pounds of trailer weight.¹ With this kind of towing capacity and other necessary features, you’ll be able to move all kinds of things, including:

• A pop-up camper or small hard-side RV for weekends in solitude
• Small recreational boats for when the kids are ready to learn how to fish
• Utility trailers with several big toys, like dirt bikes, snowmobiles, or jet skis
• Other small vehicles when you’re on your way to a car show
• Box trailers for moving or flatbed trailers piled with mulch for DIY landscaping

The Equipment That Makes It Possible

The towing capabilities of the 2020 Chevy Traverse are made possible by several important pieces of equipment. For starters, you have the standard 3.6L V6 engine that pumps out an impressive 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque.

In order to tow the maximum towing capacity, you’ll need to combine this power with the optional trailering equipment package. With this package, you’ll get a trailer hitch rated for 5,000 pounds, a heavy-duty engine cooling system, trailering assist guidelines, and a Hitch Guidance system with Hitch View.¹

To make towing even easier, opt for the HD Surround Vision system to assist with hitching the trailer as well as available Traction Mode Select. The latter comes with several selectable modes, including Tow/Haul mode.

Cargo Capacity of the Chevy Traverse

On top of everything you’ll be able to move with the 2020 Chevy Traverse, you’ll be able to move quite a bit of cargo inside the cabin. With all six rear seats folded, you’ll have a whopping 98.2 total cubic feet of cargo space to work with, which is more than enough room for full-size suitcases, boxes for moving, camping equipment, and much more.

Without sacrificing all of your seats, you’ll still have 57.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row. Even if you choose not to put any of the seats down, you’ll have 23 cubic feet of cargo capacity at your disposal.
