Expert Answers about Chevrolet Traverse


  • Comparing Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receivers for 2017 Chevrolet Traverse
  • The only significant difference between the Draw-Tite # 75528 and the Curt # 13424 is the capacity. Since both of these far exceed the towing capacity of your vehicle that really doesn't make a difference. If I were to recommend a hitch for your 2017 Chevy Traverse it actually wouldn't be either of these. Instead, I would choose the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98863. This hitch has the same design and capacity as the Curt. What sets it apart from the other two is the matte black...

  • What Is The Difference Between The Malone Pilot Trailer Bike Rack MPG2100 & MPG2103
  • The Malone Pilot Roof Mounted Bike Rack # MPG2103 is a roof mounted bike rack that mounts to your roof's crossbars. However, since you're planning on using it with a MicroSport trailer then you'll want to use the Malone Pilot Trailer Bike Rack # MPG2100 which will work with a MicroSport trailer and will allow you to carry a bike up to 33lbs. # MPG2100 is also longer at 65" long compared to # MPG2103 which measures 51" long, additionally, # MPG2100 will fit wider crossbars when compared...

  • 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...

  • Comparing Yakima HoldUp EVO and the Thule T2 Pro XTR + 2-Bike Add-On
  • Out of the Yakima HoldUp EVO # Y02479-2 and the Thule T2 Pro XTR with 2-bike add on, parts # TH69TX I recommend the T2 Pro XTR # TH69TX hands-down. Both racks are great options and feature really useful things, but the T2 Pro XTR has the most weight capacity, weighs 20 lbs less than the HoldUp EVO, and is has that handle release at the rearmost part of the carrier is quite nice. The handle feature alone is going to save your back and make it so that you can use that tilting feature much...

  • EZ4 or Ez5 Roadmaster Base Plate Kit for 2015 Chevy Traverse
  • The primary difference between the two designs is the way they attach to the tow bar. The EZ5 does not use the quick-connect crossbar which provides a cleaner look, but prevents you from using some accessories that mount to the crossbar such as a Rock Guard like the Roadmaster # RM-4000. If you are at all interested in using a rock guard or protective screening, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 # 523175-4 on your Chevy Traverse. Otherwise the EZ5 part # RM-523175-5 would be a great choice. In...

  • Comparing Thule Gateway and Thule Passage Trunk Mount Bike Racks for 2012 Chevrolet Traverse
  • Both the Thule Gateway # TH88VR and the Thule Passage # TH910XT are high quality bike racks that will fit your 2012 Chevy Traverse. The main difference between these racks is that the arms on the Gateway rack are able to be adjusted independently. Both racks have arms that fold down for storage, but the Gateway's arms adjust to allow you to carry some alternative frame bikes without an adapter bar. However, some alternative, children's, and women's style frames may still require an adapter...

  • What Is The Difference Between The Roadmaster And Blue Ox Base Plates For A 2020 Chevy Traverse.
  • For your 2020 Chevy Traverse we have the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-523200-5 that is designed to work with or without Adaptive Cruise control. I suggest the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1734 if you do not have ACC and the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1738 if you do have ACC. The arms remove with a twist of your hands when not in use. The base plate has a simple hidden design. It has a straight forward installation, no welding,...

  • Product Comparison of Roadmaster Base Plates for 2020 Chevy Traverse
  • You are correct that the Roadmaster Base Plate # RM-523200-5 fits both models, it just happens to be how our site fitguides the different items; Blue Ox offers base plates that are dependent on this feature, but the Roadmaster base plates will not effect the Adaptive Cruise Control feature on your 2020 Chevy Traverse. These base plates are compatible with a number of different Roadmaster brand tow bars like the Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676. If you've got a tow bar from a different manufacturer,...

  • Comparing etrailer, Draw-Tite, and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2023 Chevy Traverse
  • The etrailer # e56YR and Curt # CU29FR, are very similar. The capacity and installation process is the same. However, one of these stands apart from the others. If I had to recommend one for your 2023 Traverse it would be the etrailer # e56YR. The reason this I would choose this hitch is the matte black powder coat finish. This gives it that OEM look and allows it to blend in nicely with the bumper when the hitch panel is removed. It also does a better job hiding dirt and scratches when...

  • Is Factory or Aftermarket Tow Package Better for 2020 Chevy Traverse
  • I highly recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch # CU29FR and either the 4-Way T-One # 118761 with mounting bracket # 18144 or the 7-Way T-One # 118287 with mounting bracket # PK12711U over the GM tow package for your 2020 Chevy Traverse. Sometimes the factory tow package will include specific things like an additional transmission cooler but from what I could find GM doesn't say that the towing weight ratings for your Traverse are dependent upon their tow package or not. With this being...
