Expert Answers about Chevrolet Traverse


  • Recommended Running Boards for 2020 Chevy Traverse
  • I have a solution for you, but the Westin Sure-Grip Running Boards # 27-6105 are designed to fit a Toyota Tacoma, so they would not work on your 2020 Chevy Traverse. Because of how new your 2020 Chevy Traverse is, there are a limited amount of running board options available for your vehicle but we do have some options. Have a look at the Aries AeroTread Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit - 5" Wide - Aluminum # AA2061030 (black) or # AA2051030 (silver) which offer a no-drill installation...

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2020 Chevy Traverse
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C56394 for a 4-way or item # C56393 for a 7-way is what I recommend for your 2020 Chevy Traverse. These are custom fit and quite a bit easier to install when you're putting the hitch on. Just like the Draw-Tite Hitch item # 76184 they require the rear bumper cover to be removed. If you ever plan on towing a heavy trailer like a camper you will want the 7-way Curt Wiring Harness item # C56393 because it can control trailer brakes. The item...

  • How to Mount a Kayak Carrier on a 2013 Chevrolet Traverse with Flush Rails
  • It sounds like you have a 2013 Chevrolet Traverse with flush rails. In order to mount the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style, part # S512-S512X, or any other kayak carrier to your vehicle, you'll need a roof rack. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2. These are aero-style bars that reduce wind noise and drag. To mount them to your flush rails, you'll need the 2500 Series Legs, part # RRRLKVA, and the Custom DK Fit Kit, part # DK297. So, you...

  • Will The Cargo Carrier Part # e98874 Fit A 2013 Chevrolet Traverse
  • The 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches part # e98874 is designed for 2" hitch receivers with a weight capacity of 500 lbs. If you have a 2" hitch receiver, then yes this carrier will work for you. If you look at my attached video, you can see how the cargo carrier can be folded up. The cargo carrier when folded up should have about 4" of clearance from the rear hatch of your Traverse to the closest part of the carrier.

  • Dust Cover for Trailer Hub with 1.98 inch Diameter
  • We have standard dust cover/caps that fit the 1.98 inch hub bore you mentioned with the part # RG04-020 but we don't have any that is chrome. Chrome plating probably wouldn't work well as it may eventually flake off.

  • Does Curt Hitch for 2018 Chevy Traverse Fit Behind Rear Bumper Cover
  • There was an older Curt hitch for the 2018 Chevy Traverse that did hang below the rear bumper but the current hitch part # CU29FR does fit behind the cover and would not hang below like what you see in the attached video and picture.

  • Will a Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse Fit a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse
  • We do have a trailer wiring harness for your 2014 Chevrolet Traverse, however, the wiring harness from your 2011 Chevrolet Traverse will not fit. Chevrolet made a design change in the tail light connectors for the 2013 and 2014 model years, so they require a different harness. The Curt T-One Wiring Harness, # C56181, that you referenced is the correct harness for your 2014 Traverse. I have attached a link to the installation instructions for you to check out.

  • CIPA Towing Mirrors That Fit 2017 Chevy Traverse
  • We do have CIPA towing mirrors that fit your 2017 Chevy Traverse, and they won't be a Mickey Mouse fit, though the mirrors that fit are all universal fits, as there are no custom options for a Traverse. That means the straps are going to show as opposed to a mirror that slips on, but they are still going to give you the functionality to extend your view, and are going to be a very stable fit. The reason for that is the CIPA universal towing mirrors are secured two ways - they both clip...

  • Low Profile Roof Rack And Bike Rack For 2020 Chevrolet Traverse
  • The Stealth Bar # JA7981 will be the lowest profile bar set up offered for your 2020 Chevrolet Traverse by far. I like the Yakima HighSpeed # Y02115 because it works with both the 15 and 20 Thru-Axle bikes and is also easy to install. I've included a video for you to check out!

  • Tire Chains for 2019 Chevy Traverse with 255/55R20 Tires
  • The owner's manual for the 2019 Chevy Traverse does say on page 344 that tire chains should not be installed on any tire size other than size P255/65R18. This restriction is due to limited clearance when the vehicle is fitted with larger tires. It also states to use traction devices only on the front tires. Some regions have tire chains laws that legally require you use them (or at least to have them in the vehicle) under certain weather conditions and/or in certain specific areas. Since...

  • How to Install a 7-Way Connector on a 2012 Chevy Traverse
  • If you don't already have a wiring connector on your 2012 Chevy Traverse then that means you don't have the tow package and you need to install a 4-Way wiring harness and an adapter for a 7-Way. I am not sure what factory plug you found but when I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha he said that there was a change from the 2012 to 2013 Traverse models which is why the wiring kit # 118271 won't fit the 2012 model.If you send me a pic of the connector that you found I can try to help you identify...

  • Trailer Hitch and GCWR for 2017 AWD Chevy Traverse
  • I took a look at an online version of the owner's manual for a 2017 Chevy Traverse and it says that for an AWD without the V92 Trailer Towing Package the maximum trailer weight is 2,000 lbs and the GCWR is 7,700 lbs (GCWR is the total weight of the trailer, trailer cargo, Traverse and Traverse cargo including passengers - essentially the weight of everything). If you do have the V92 Trailer Towing Package the maximum trailer weight is 5,200 lbs and the GCWR is 10,450 lbs. So it would...

  • Fit and Parts Needed to Install Derale Transmission Cooler # D13503 in 2011 Chevrolet Traverse
  • Transmission and oil coolers are not vehicle-specific so you can install any cooler that you can find the space for within the engine compartment. Larger coolers work better than smaller ones so if you have a spot in front of your A/C condenser that can handle the 11 wide x 8-3/4 tall x 7/8 deep Derale # D13503 then its an excellent choice for your 2011 Traverse. You will need one of the hose fittings # D13035. I have linked the written instructions as well as an install video to walk...

  • Installing the Tekonsha Primus IQ on a 2019 Traverse With Factory Tow Package
  • There have been some issues with installing aftermarket brake controllers on the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse models that already have the factory towing package. This does not mean it is impossible, however. Those four blunt cut wires inside the front driver side instrument panel are definitely the correct wires. Page 284 of your owner's manual will tell you which wire handles which function. You will need to check the "Battery Feed" wire to make sure it has power with something like the circuit...

  • How Does WeatherTech 2nd and 3rd Row Floor Liner Fit Around Center Console in 2009 Chevy Traverse
  • If your 2009 Chevy Traverse has that center console between the second row seats then you would just trim the mat, # WT441114, to fit around it. The mat is marked for trimming for this exact reason. That way they can make one design and have one part number that fits models with or without the center console!

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2014 Chevrolet Traverse
  • The T-One wiring harnesses for the version of your 2014 Chevrolet Traverse that HAS the factory tow package are parts # 118271 for the 7-way type and # 118270 for the flat 4-pole type. Both use the rectangular OEM connector included in tow packages that is shown in the linked photo. If this is what you have on your Traverse you can test the pins on it to see if the wiring is active. Some vehicles may not have the required fuses and relays installed (by the way, those are included with...

It will not matter if the raised rails vary in size from front to back. The clamps are designed to fit a variety of raised rails so this will not be a problem.
