Expert Answers about Chevrolet Traverse
- Recommended Base Plate for 2016 Chevy Traverse with Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar
- The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar part # RM-676 is an excellent option for a 2016 Chevrolet Traverse. In order to use this you'll need the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-523175-5. If you need any of the other parts to complete your setup like the wiring or braking system I recommend going with the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 and Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System part # HM39524....

- I see you'd looked at Titan Allow Diamond Pattern chains, which are a great choice but they wouldn't fit well as they'd be a little too large. You'd do better with a slightly smaller size in the same type of chain, part # TC2321. I've linked you to a product demonstration video that shows how to install the chains. I'd recommend doing a couple of dry runs, getting some practice installing them in the comfort of your driveway or garage, as knee-deep in a snowdrift isn't the time or place...

- Yes, the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse can be dolly towed from the front with the rear wheels on the ground per the owner's manual. For this, I recommend using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes part # DM9713045 as it has disc brakes for increased stopping power and a folding tongue for easy storage.

- For your 2018 Chevy Traverse, my contact at WeatherTech confirmed the fit for the WeatherTech Hood Protector - Dark Smoke # WT55157 on your LT trim vehicle. The # WT50253 will not fit your 2018 model. This hood protector will attach with automotive grade 3M adhesive tape in two horizontal lines to a properly cleaned hood. I've attached a diagram to assist.

- An aftermarket transmission cooler is not usually essential to tow a trailer but it will always provide benefit and is a good idea for your Chevy Traverse. Depending on your specific model Traverse, pulling a 2,000 pound camper may put the vehicle right at its towing capacity, so adding a transmission cooler will definitely help improve its overall performance and prolong the life of your transmission.
The Derale Series 8000 # D13501 is a great option. This plate-fin cooler has a furnace-brazed...

- The best bike rack that will carry both an adult bike and a child's bike is the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202; this is the best rack for your 2018 Chevy Traverse, as well as any other vehicle with a 1-1/4 inch or 2 inch hitch receiver.
The reason the EasyFold XT is the best bike rack in the industry is simple - convenience. It comes with an aluminum ramp so you can easily load any bike and because it uses arms that can be repositioned as well as ratcheting wheel straps. This means it will...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendations for a 2012 Chevy Traverse
- For your 2012 Chevy Traverse I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75528. This is the most popular hitch for your Traverse. It is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening. The 2 inch receiver is going to have a higher capacity and be compatible with more accessories compared to lower class hitches. I have included a link to a video showing installation of the hitch for you.
For owners of the 2012 Traverse the most popular carrier is Pro Series carrier # 63153. This carrier...
view full answer... - Tow Dolly for 2016 Chevy Traverse
- Based on my research it looks like your 2016 Chevy Traverse can weigh between 4,713 to 4,956 pounds depending on the exact model. The highest rated tow dolly we have available is the Demco Kar Kaddy # DM9713045 that can handle a vehicle that weighs up to 4,800 pounds.
If you find that your Traverse weighs less than 4,800 pounds this will work very well otherwise a heavier-rated unit will need to be obtained locally.
The Kar Kaddy features a hydraulic braking system, a foldable ramp that...

- One solution would be to use the Swift Hitch camera # 04928 which has a magnetic base so you can use the one camera for all 4 of the trucks and just move it from truck to truck and not have to worry about permanent installation.
If each truck needs its own camera then you could use 4 of # RA7710. These create their own WIFI signal that can then be picked up by a smart phone or device app. It works with iOS or Android devices.
Many of the other camera systems have permanent mount cameras...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install Curt Brake Controller in a 2015 Chevy Traverse with Factory 7-Way
- To install the Curt Venturer part # C74VV in your 2015 Chevy Traverse with a 7-way all you need is the correct install harness, part # C51422. This plugs into the controller and then into the port under your dash and that's all that is required aside from mounting the controller.
No visits to the dealer would be required either.

- The etrailer kayak carrier part # e98878 would be a great option to carry a 15 foot long 2 person kayak like you mentioned having. It's padded and can fold down when not in use as well. You will need a set of crossbars on your 2015 Chevy Traverse which for that we have the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK297 as a confirmed fit. This is a square bar rack that's easier on price compared to other racks that is also higher quality.

- For your 2013 Chevy Traverse without the tow package the correct trailer wiring harness would be the part # 118270.
This will provide the turn signal functions for a trailer and will work with your rear AC unit. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

- For you 2014 Chevy Traverse I have a better recommendation I can make for a trunk rack. The Hollywood Racks Over The Top part # HRF2-3 would be a great option that is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and is designed to fit over spoilers and not interfere with them. I attached a review video for this rack on a similar Traverse as yours as well.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike...
view full answer... - Recommended Towing Mirrors For 2017 Chevy Traverse

The easy-adjustable arms fit most applications but are a confirmed fit for your vehicle. It has an aerodynamic enclosed head design to help reduce vibration. It installs with no tools required.

- I'm happy to assist with a bike rack and one of the first things to consider is where the center of the hitch pin hole is in relation to the outermost part of your vehicle bumper to ensure there is enough clearance. I see that you asked this question from the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # CU29FR which is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Chevy Traverse. Based on this fit, we will be safe and assume you need 6 inches of clearance for that bumper cover that can be reinstalled when the hitch...

- The HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # HBA16-252-82 you were looking at is indeed compatible with the OEM trailer brake controller in your new 2021 Ram 2500.
Typically the only OEM controllers that had issues were the older generations from roughly 2010-2015.
I included a video of the # HBA16-252-82 for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Chevy Traverse
- I checked with Thule and they do not recommend trunk racks for the redesigned 2018 Chevy Traverse. Instead you'd have to go with a hitch like the Curt part # CU29FR so that you can install a hitch bike rack.
I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be easy to install and remove from your vehicle since it's light, but also, it'll be very easy to load bikes on since it's a platform...
view full answer... - 7-Way Trailer Connector Recommended for 2016 Chevy Traverse
- I'd be happy to help you with that. Even though you don't have the 'factory tow package', your vehicle is already prewired for a 7-way and a brake controller, if you need one. For the 7-way, you can use part # 118271 that will plug into the connector under the bumper. The kit includes the fuses and relays needed to activate the tow package.
For a 4 pin connector, you can either use an adapter like # PK12716, or you can use a t-connector like # 118384 that would plug into the connection...

This is a matte black finished Class III hitch with a spec rating of 5,000 lbs. for max GTW and 750 lbs. tongue weight, but always refer to your vehicle specific owners manual for the vehicles max specs for towing. It is a custom fit bolt-on model that comes with all needed hardware and lifetime technical support from the experts at etrailer. Made in USA.
You will need a ball mount, such as...
view full answer... - Recommended Wiring for 4-Way to 7-Way Trailer Connection
- The Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 7-Blade # HM47200 is a great start for your 7-way molded trailer connector, but you will need to not only install the 4-way trailer connector, but also make sure you have a good ground connection on the white wire with the terminal ring. This will not give you a good connection without a bare metal to metal connection on that wire. Then you can add the other 3 wires to complete your 7-way.
