Expert Answers about Chevrolet Traverse

• Towing Capacity for 2016 Chevrolet Traverse without Factory Tow Package
• When looking at weight capacities of a towing setup, you will always be limited by a system's weakest component. I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2016 Chevrolet Traverse and saw that for a front-wheel drive model that does not have the factory trailer towing package, the maximum trailer weight is 2,000 pounds. As you mentioned in your question, the factory towing package would have bumped it up to 5,200 pounds. So with your Traverse that does not have the factory tow...

• Replacement Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Traverse OEM Trailer Hitch
• If you cannot find the specs for your OEM trailer hitch on your 2014 Chevrolet Traverse and you are wanting to replace it then I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75528 as it has a Tongue Weight (TW) rating of 750 lbs. Even though this trailer hitch has a TW of 750 lbs you will need to check with your copy of the owner's manual to make sure that you stay within the TW limits of your Traverse. Since your 2004 Vespa ET4 weighs over 200 lbs, a carrier...

• 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.

• 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...

• 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 Brake Controller and Installation Method on a 2018 Chevy Traverse
• Yes, you can install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller item # 90885 in your 2018 Chevy Traverse. The universal wiring harness needed for installation is included with the brake controller along with a mounting bracket. The 2018 Traverse's do not have a port to plug in adapter so you will need to hardware the P2 or any traditional brake controller you are wanting to install. The only other option if you are not wanting to hardware a controller is to use the Curt Echo Wireless...

• Roof Rack for 2014 Chevy Traverse that Has Capacity for Roof Top Tent
• This is a really good question. So the roof rack capacities we list like for the Rhino Rack that fits your 2014 Chevy Traverse # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK297 the number is a dynamic rating meaning when the vehicle is on the road hitting bumps which will exaggerate the weight carried. This is why roof rack tent manufacturers will say that the rack the tent is used on needs to have a dynamic rating of at least 165 lbs to be able to carry the fully weight of the tent plus people.

• Most Concealed Hitch for a 2023 Chevy Traverse
• The most concealed hitch for your 2023 Chevy Traverse is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch item # CU29FR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Chevy with included hardware.

It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have attached a couple of pictures below, along...

• 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...

• Can Dutton-Lainson Roller Bunks Accommodate 6,000 Pound 27 Foot Regal Ventura Boat
• The Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunks 5 Feet Long Sections # DL21741 have a weight capacity of 3,000 pounds per set. As long as there is no more than 3,000 pounds on a single set of roller bunks, you can use the # DL21741 bunks for your Regal Ventura. The number of roller bunks you need depends on the length of the existing bunks on your boat trailer. For example, if your existing bunks were 15 feet long, you would want 3 of the 5 foot sections of # DL21741 for each side....

• 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

• 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...

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...
