Expert Answers about Chevrolet Traverse


  • Best Quality A-Frame Tool Box for Sure Trac Trailer
  • I am happy to help you find a trailer tongue tool box for your Sure Trac trailer Andy. When you say you have 44 inches from the widest point, I believe you are referring to 44 inches up from the widest point of the A-frame towards the tailgate. You would still want to make sure you have a long enough space on the a-frame for a longer tool box as well. If you measure from cross member to cross member horizontally across at the widest point, you will know how long of a tool box you can fit. The...

  • What Is the Normal Transmission Fluid Operating Temp While Towing With a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse
  • The normal operating temperature for the transmission fluid will vary by vehicle and ambient temperature. Therefore, I don't really have an exact figure for you to go by but the manufacturer may be able to give you more information on what the acceptable range is. That said, this temperature will be increased while towing due to the added strain the trailer has on the vehicle's transmission but a good rule of thumb is to be around 195 but no more than 230 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are...

  • Comparing Curt and etrailer Trailer Hitches for a 2022 Chevy Traverse
  • The difference is that the Curt Trailer Hitch # CU29FR has a glossy black finish while the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e56YR has a matte black finish. Aside from that these will be exactly the same for your 2022 Chevy Traverse. I recommend going with the etrailer hitch because the matte black coating will blend in better with the trim on your vehicle and do a better job at resisting damage from any road debris than the glossy finish will. If you were looking to use this trailer hitch for...

  • Recommended Replacement Tires for Snowmobile Trailer with 20.5 x 8 x 10 Tires
  • I'll start out by saying that you shouldn't need to replace your wheels if you switch from bias to radial tires, or vice versa; so that shouldn't dictate what you need to do. With that said, I may have a solution for you but we do not have a 20.5x8x10 tire available. However, the Loadstar # AM1HP56 are very close in size at 20.4 x 8.4 x 10 and will provide you with a durable bias ply tire. Bias ply tires are generally built for handling trailer loads a little bit better than radial tires;...

  • This fit will not give you any problems, it is confirmed to fit your vehicle. The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails, part # MPG217, clamps around your factory raised rails. 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.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2022 Chevrolet Traverse
  • Your 2022 Chevrolet Traverse will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # CU29FR. This is a custom fit receiver with a 2" receiver opening for ball mounts and hitch mounted accessories. I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118287 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 7-way which you can use with a Curt Echo # C51180 brake controller if you need to tow a trailer with electric brakes. Otherwise you can use an Adapter # PK12716 with smaller trailers requiring...

  • 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...

  • Parts Needed To Complete A Flat Towing System For A 2017 Chevrolet Traverse With A Blue Ox Tow Bar
  • The first part you will need is the baseplate. I prefer the direct mount option, so my recommendation is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, part # BX1706.This will connect directly to your 2017 Chevrolet Traverse. You mentioned you need trailer wiring. I recommend the RoadMaster Falcon 2 and Falcon All-Terrain Combo Towing Kit with Straight Wiring, part # RM-9243-1.

  • Troubleshooting Intermittently Working 7-Way Trailer Connector on 2011 Chevy Traverse
  • Due to the intermittent nature of your problem, what you have going on is likely being caused by corrosion in the trailer connector on the vehicle or in the connector on the trailer. First, check those blades on the vehicle's connector for green or white corrosion. If the corrosion is minor, you can take a piece of sandpaper and remove the corrosion, but if its severe it's likely that the corrosion has spread to the interior of the plug and is interfering with the voltage coming through...

  • Kayak Carrier and Roof Rack Solution for 2015 Chevy Traverse
  • 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.

  • Option to Make 7-Way Extension for Truck Installing Tommy Gate
  • Best option we have would be to use the part # PK11998 as a 4 foot extension like you need. You'll have to cut off the round connector you have now behind the 7-way socket and wire this in place of it as we don't have a solution that plugs right in.

  • Tire Chains for a 2016 Chevy Traverse with 245/75R17 Tires
  • 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...

  • Replacing 8-247 Hubs On A 1998 Coleman Pop Up Camper
  • We can definitely set you up with hubs for your 1998 Coleman Pop up. There are going to be several options for a hub since you are dealing with the standard sizing for a 3,500 lb axle. To replace your 8-247 hub I recommend the Dexter hub # 8-247-50UC3-EZ which is a galvanized hub and includes all of your bearings, seals, races and lug nuts. All you will need is some bearing grease. For that I recommend the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390.

  • Does Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System Draw Power When Breakaway Pin is Pulled
  • The breakaway system of the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking # DM26VR does not draw power to operate so it would not be affected if the vehicle battery was disconnected. This actually has an air tank it uses in the event the pin gets pulled.

  • Can the Atwood AC Unit part # AT15028-22 Operate Furnace as Well
  • I spoke with my contact at Atwood about your question on the Atwood AC Unit part # AT15028-22. She informed me that the # AT15028-22 can operate the furnace, but not with a remote control. A thermostat will have to be wired in for the A/C, and it will also control the furnace.

  • Aftermarket Tow Package Recommendation for 2020 Chevy Traverse Instead of OEM GM Package
  • We have an OEM style of hitch solution for your 2020 Chevy Traverse that is going to cost much less than a dealer option and will be just as strong with the Curt hitch part # CU29FR. This hitch hides behind the access panel of your rear fascia just like the OEM hitch does and has plenty of towing capacities. I attached an install video for you to check out too. For trailer wiring then you'd want the OEM style 7-way part # 118287 which easily installs by simply plugging into a port at...
