Expert Answers about Chevrolet Traverse


  • Roof Weight Capacity of 2010 Chevy Traverse with Flush Mounted Rails
  • Generally speaking, most vehicle roofs can handle between 100 and 150 lbs, but I'd recommend checking with the owner's manual or with Chevy. Although the Rightline # RL100S20 has the ability to strap directly to the roof by running the straps through the interior of the vehicle, I prefer to see a roof rack used as an attachment point. Running the mounting straps through the vehicle compromises head room and can allow water to wick into the interior of the vehicle if it should rain. Rhino...

  • Can Viking Solutions Stack Rack II be Used for Golf Bags
  • The Viking Solutions Stack Rack II # 310-VSR201 could potentially be used to carry golf bags. The lower cargo carrier piece measures 32-5/8" x 17-5/8" on the inside and then the top piece measures 29-1/2" x 14-3/4" on the inside. If you measure your cargo bag(s) you should be able to tell if this will work for that application or not. I will say since this only has 2 bars at the bottom you'll need to make sure the bags aren't moving at all so they don't fall through the bottom. If that...

  • Recommended 7-Way Wiring Harness for a 2012 Chevy Traverse
  • To add a 7-way wiring harness to a 2012 Chevy Traverse with the factory towing package you will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package item # 22111. This harness is custom fit and plugs into existing wiring which is located behind your tail lights and then another plug behind your muffler. Part number 118271 is the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # 118271 and it fits the 2013 - 2017 Traverse's. The connectors are different on the 2012 so this won't work...

  • Trailer Towing Weight Capacity of a 2016 Chevy Traverse AWD with Tow Package
  • If you check out page 260 of the owner's manual for your 2016 Chevrolet Traverse it should say that if the model is an AWD and has the towing package then the max trailer weight it can handle is 5,200 lbs. You will want to be sure to check your owner's manual to verify this and to note any instructions on towing as well. Some towing packages come with both a trailer hitch and wiring. If this is the case for you then you just need a ball mount, hitch ball, and pin and clip to complete your...

  • What Hardware is Needed to Install Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # CT-3001-Z
  • I pulled the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler, # CT-3001-Z, from our warehouse and the installation instructions state that you should use 1/2 inch diameter, grade 5 bolts and locknuts to mount this coupler to the trailer tongue. They said that it is acceptable to use 4 separate bolts or two long bolts passing through all four holes. You can also add two bolts to the top holes for extra strength.

  • What Weight Measurements Needed To Choose Weight Distribution System
  • There is some basic information you need before you can choose the right weight distribution system for your set up. First, you need to know the tongue weight of the trailer. Second, you will need to know the gross weight of the trailer you plan to tow. These are two of the most important factors in choosing a weight distribution system. Usually, you will need weight distribution if the trailer weight is at least 50 percent of the vehicle weight or if the coupled trailer causes the rear...

  • Measurement From Center of Hitch Pin Hole to Receiver on Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 75528
  • I went out to the warehouse with digital calipers to ensure absolute accuracy with this measurement and found that from the center of the hitch pin hole to the front of the receiver of the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75528 measures EXACTLY 2.52". For wiring which will give your 2017 Chevy Traverse a 4-way connector (if you do not have a factory connector) and allow you to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring Harness # HM11141150. I also recommend checking out Ball...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Chevy Traverse
  • To add a 2" hitch to your 2023 Chevrolet Traverse, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e56YR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Traverse with included hardware. I really like the etrailer hitch because it installs behind your rear bumper cover and can be completely hidden when you are not towing. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have attached a couple of pictures below, along with an installation...

  • Thule Roof Cargo Box that Can Carry Razorlite Tandem Kayaks and Paddle
  • The Thule Force XT XL part # TH6358B would easily fit both your kayak and your paddle as it has internal dimensions of 77-1/2" long x 29-1/2" wide x 15-1/4" tall. But for a Titanium colored Thule Motion that has enough interior space you'd want the Motion XT part # TH629707 which is the color you want and has interior dimensions of the 69" long x 31-1/2" wide x 15" tall

  • Towing Kodiak Express 223RBSL Trailer with 2010 Chevrolet Traverse
  • The Kodiak Express 223RBSL Trailer has a specified dry weight of 4300-lbs and a dry hitch weight of 516-lbs, according to my research, but when you fill your water and propane tanks and load up your equipment and supplies you will be much closer to 5000-lbs total. Generally we always recommend having some safety margin in your towing system. In the case of this particular trailer used with your Traverse you might want to consider a lighter trailer that when fully-loaded with all gear and...

  • How to Determine Hitch-Mounted Cargo Carrier Weight Capacity on 2010 Chevrolet Traverse
  • The Curt Class III hitch # 13424 that fits your 2010 Chevrolet Traverse LT2 has a tongue weight (TW) capacity of 500-lbs when used with a hitch-mount cargo carrier like their # C18150. (TW is downward force on the hitch.) The vehicle weight rating that matters for this kind of application is the car's TW. This is usually about 10-percent of the gross towing capacity and should be noted in your owner's manual. I checked an online version of the 2010 Traverse manual for its TW rating but...

  • Recommended Crossbars for a 2023 Chevy Traverse w/ Raised Side Rails

These aero bar crossbars have a 176 lbs capacity and attach directly to the side rails on your Traverse. The built in locks will help prevent theft.

  • Can the Fascia Cover Be Re-installed on a 2013 Chevy Traverse When Not Using the Hitch?
  • Yes, it can! For your 2013 Chevrolet Traverse LT, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e98863. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Chevy with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. Once installed it can be completely concealed by the rear fascia cover. I have linked an installation video below to help you get this hitch set up. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56245 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

  • What is the Towing Capacity of the 2014 Chevy Traverse
  • From what I was able to find out from my research, the base model of the 2014 Chevy Traverse has a towing capacity of 2000-lbs, so that's the maximum weight you'll be able to safely tow without potentially damaging your vehicle. I would recommend confirming this with your owner's manual for advice on specific trim packages that you may have, but you'll always be limited by the lowest rated component in your towing setup. In this case, even though the available hitches like the Draw-Tite...
