Expert Answers about Chevrolet Traverse


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2020 Chevrolet Traverse
  • For your 2020 Chevrolet Traverse I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # CU29FR. I really like the design of this hitch. There's a trap door on the bottom of the bumper where the receiver tube will sit, and it can be put back when the hitch is not in use. So, there won't be anything sticking out, or changing the way your Traverse looks. It also helps with ground clearance, because the hitch will sit higher than the lowest part of your bumper. This option will give you the best look. To...

  • Can Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack Easily Carry Standard Bikes As Well as Electric Bikes
  • Yes! The Thule EasyFold XT 2 Electric Bike Platform Rack # TH903202 that you referenced will work great with non-electric bikes as well. It's basically just a really nice bike rack that caters to some of the challenges that e-bikes have. For example, it has a ramp setup to make loading easy so you don't have to lift heavy bikes and the frame clamps are designed to basically be able to attach to any frame design. This would work well for your standard bikes and then also for your e-bikes...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse LS
  • I have excellent roof rack options for your 2019 Chevrolet Traverse LS that will accept a variety of roof mounted accessories, both track mount and clamp on. For this, I really like the Yakima JetStream System because they are aerodynamic, lightweight, and have a sleek look. The aerodynamic shape is going to reduce wind drag and noise which is not something most think about when looking at a roof rack. The correct parts for you will vary if you have a bare roof or raised side rails. I have...

  • I Need Both The 4 Flat And 7 Way Trailer Wiring Connectors For My 2022 Chevy Traverse
  • You are correct in that the Hopkins # HM40975 will not come with any wiring as it is intended as a factory replacement for an existing damaged one, and that the Tekonsha # 118287 will only have the 7 Way connection and not the 4 Flat. With that said, you will have two options. First is to go with the Tekonsha # 118287 and use a 7 to 4 adapter, like the Pollak # PK12716. Personally, I am not preferable to these as I am prone to misplacing and/or losing things. They do work perfectly fine...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2021 Chevy Traverse
  • You are on the right rack for flat towing components for your 2021 Chevy Traverse with the base plate kit part # RM-523200-5 and tow bar part # RM-676. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle...

  • Trailer Hitch And Wiring Options On 2022 Chevrolet Traverse
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # CU29FR paired with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118761 will give you a great setup to tow light duty trailers. I do recommend getting a Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144 to keep your wire harness safe while not in use, don't want it getting ripped out or snagged. And a No-Drill Mount Bracket, Long # 18136 Next you will need a ball and mount. I would go with the etrailer Ball Mount...

If you don't already have a 7-way, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector part # 118287 is also a plug-n-play fit.

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for 2020 Chevrolet Traverse with Factory Installed Hitch
  • For your 2020 Chevrolet Traverse with a factory hitch, I recommend the Rapid Hitch Adjustable Aluminum Ball Mount Kit # AM3411 because it offers different height positions allowing up to a 5 inch drop or 6 inch rise. This is recommended for vehicles with 20 - 24 inches of hitch ground clearance, making it a perfect match since your factory hitch protrudes out of the center bumper cover panel, much like our Curt # CU29FR, which has a 20-1/2 inch ground clearance. The # AM3411 features a...

  • Recommended Combination Bike / Cargo Carrier For 2015 Chevrolet Traverse
  • We do offer just what you are looking for. The carrier I recommend is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Platform Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier, part # HR1400Z-85. This carrier may work well with your 2015 Chevrolet Traverse if it has a 2 inch receiver. This carrier will allow you to carry 2 bikes and the cargo carrier, or 4 bikes without the carrier. You can also just use the cargo basket alone. I have attached a product review video you can check out for this carrier. This carrier also...

  • Recommended Towing Mirror Extensions For a 2023 Chevrolet Traverse
  • For your 2023 Chevrolet Traverse I recommend using the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # 7070-2. This is one of the same mirrors which fits the 2022 Traverse and as it is universal it will fit several different vehicles. I like this mirror as it is easily adjustable to fit snuggly around the mirror. It also uses a simple strap system which is less likely to fail than other more complex latches. And if any of the parts become damaged you can get Replacement Straps # 11952STRAP or a Replacement...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2017 Chevy Traverse
  • The T-One trailer wiring harness part # 118270 is the correct trailer wiring harness for your 2017 Chevy Traverse. I attached an install video for this harness on a 2017 Traverse just like yours as well. The Draw Tite hitch part # 75528 would be a great hitch option as well. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also...

  • 2021 Chevrolet Traverse Flat Tow System
  • Yep! We have everything you need to get your 2021 Chevrolet Traverse on the road. First if you have Adaptive Cruise Control you will want to get the Blue Ox Baseplate # BX1738. If you do not have the Adaptive Cruise Control, you will need this baseplate # RM-523200-5. If you have a portable braking system that requires a 12V outlet while towing then you will need the 12V outlet kit but if you don't, it is not needed. You'll need the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring...

  • RV Approved Hitch Bike Rack for 5th Wheel and 2020 Chevy Traverse
  • You'd need a bike rack that is approved for use at the rear of a fifth wheel like the Swagman E-Spec part # S94FR which will also work great in the hitch of your 2020 Chevy Traverse. Since the ride quality at the rear of a fifth wheel trailer is much rougher than at the rear of a vehicle the bike rack has to be reinforced for it.

  • Do Push Rods of Derale Transmission Cooler Kit # D12903 Damage AC Condenser Fins
  • Using the push rods of the Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D12903 will not cause any damage to the condenser of your vehicle. The fins are designed to be slightly bent and not be permanently damaged. Also, no amount of damage to the fins would cause a leak as they only attach to the outsides of the piping of the condensor. If the fins get damaged all they do is prevent the condenser from being able to cool as efficiently.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Chevy Traverse
  • Traverse and Trailblazers are different enough that the hitch designs between the two would be drastically different. For your 2013 Chevy Traverse you would want the # 75528 which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Weigh Safe Drop Ball Mount Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 6 inch Lift
  • For as much of a lift as you have and the height of your truck tires considered I would recommend going with the 10 inch drop Weigh Safe ball mount # WS10-2. That being said it really depends on the height of your trailer hitch tube from the ground to the top of it compared to the height of the coupler lip on the trailer you plan to tow. The difference between those two numbers is the amount of drop you'd need.

  • Recommended Wiring to Add a 7-Way Connector to a 2010 Chevy Traverse
  • If you already have a 4-Way Flat, like the Tekonsha T-One # 118450, installed on your 2010 Chevrolet Traverse then you will simply need to install the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 to add a fully functioning 7-Way to your Traverse. I have attached a video of this kit being installed on a 2011 Traverse that you can use as a reference. The brake controller I recommend for you to use is the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 as it has an easy-to-use LCD screen that eliminates the use of codes for...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2020 Chevy Traverse
  • For your 2020 Chevy Traverse I highly recommend the Curt Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # CU29FR because it allows for a really sleek OEM appearance after installation and provides great ground clearance. The Curt Hitch features a completely hidden crosstube design, and the 2" receiver will actually protrude through the rear bumper instead of sitting beneath it. This maintains a from-the-factory look on your brand new Traverse while also improving ground clearance so you don't have...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For a Four Winns Boat Trailer 4,600LBS
  • I do recommend using a weight distribution hitch with your 2014 Chevrolet Traverse while hauling your 245 Four Winns Sundowner boat trailer. This will help to ensure that your Traverse hauls flat so that you do not get any light steering or diminished braking due to the rear end sagging. It will also help to keep the trailer tracking straight on the highway in windy conditions or turbulence caused by large trucks. I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET and...
