The V-6 provides up to 288 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, though it has to motivate a lot of weight, and fuel mileage dips as you dip into the power band. The recall for the 2009-2010 model years began on July 11, 2014. There is plenty of storage for small items throughout the cabin. He took it upon himself to test out all seats in the Traverse, and found that there was plenty of legroom when seated in the second row chairs. Dash board where they dried up the wires from windshield started going out.
Gauges are easy to see, and controls are easy to use. I actually enjoy driving again! Still, the Traverse sits fairly high and weighs a lot, so occupants notice some head toss in turns and the highway ride is less stable than in a family sedan or a smaller, sportier crossover. Plus, the Traverse offers more cargo space than most of its competitors. Despite its two-and-a-half ton curb weight, the Traverse is surprisingly nimble. The Traverse easily outsells the , and gives competition from Toyota and Honda a run for their money, as well.
Maybe due to the long wheel base and all independent suspension. The Chevrolet Traverse can comfortably seat up to eight adults, while leaving good cargo space behind the third row. It's built using unit-body construction similar to that of a car rather than bolting the body to a heavy truck frame. A peak at the center of the hood continues down through the grille and fascia, adding a touch of character. A second notice will be mailed to owners once parts become available. Even behind the third-row seat, there's 24.
The Traverse's front seats are plush yet supportive, and the adult-sized second row slides forward to provide access to the surprisingly comfortable for kids third-row seats. Peak output is rated at 288 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque for models equipped with a dual exhaust, or 281 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque for models with a single exhaust. The savings are worth the things I gave up on luxury in interior details. Up top, the Traverse has optional black roof rails and an available two-panel sunroof with a fixed rear panel and an opening front panel. Second-row captain's chairs are also available, but they're really not any more comfortable than the bench perches and carrying capacity is then reduced to seven.
The recall began on June 16, 2014. Dealership diagnostics said dirty fluid, but Traverse forums and technical service bulletins said signs of failing power steering pump. On the plus side, interior and exterior styling, as well as capacious passenger space and ride comfort, snags the praise of owners, as does, of course, that humongous cargo area. Traverse has more cargo space behind the third-row seat 24. Traverse rides on a 119-inch wheelbase and measures about 205 inches in overall length. Even behind the third-row seat, there's 24.
Then my freeon was low at 70k. Build quality and switchgear in the 2011 Traverse is superb and equal to or better than most rival imports. Up front, the Traverse features an attractive version of Chevrolet's split grille. Tons of space without feeling like you're driving a tank. A black air dam below the grille gives the front end a dark lower face. The front center console has a deep bin on the bottom and another shallow bin on top. Lots of space and storage compartments.
It rides pleasantly and handles surprisingly well, especially for its size. Towing capacity is 5,200 pounds, which means light boats, personal watercraft. Really easy to manoeuvre in parking stalls, and in parkades. Wouldn't recommend the dealer Five Star Chev. Little of substance has changed with this year's model. As with the exterior, the cabin of the Traverse is functional but by no means exciting.
Three children can ride comfortably in the third row, and there is also enough head and leg room for two adults to fit back there. With 90 percent of peak torque available from approximately 2,500 rpm to more than 6,000 rpm, there's enough punch to adequately move the Chevy's not inconsequential weight of nearly 5,000 pounds. The floor is flat, which makes it especially useful; though it is a bit surprising how high the floor is, making loading a bit harder than for minivans. There's one issue, though: It's heavy. Plus, it gets better mileage and is more space efficient. Though large, the Traverse has a soft, sleek, modern appearance.
There are cup and bottle holders galore, including two on the center console, one in each front door, and two in each rear door. Although the Traverse Ooms drove was equipped with a trailer tow package he felt the vehicle would be underpowered to pull its rated maximum capacity of 2,539 kilograms. In a word, the styling of the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse is mainstream. Husband drove 216 miles round trip, my 14 yr old could have done better. Mechanic said the drive shaft was never properly attached during production. An optional rearview camera makes backing this big vehicle up easier and safer.
Our Take on the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse Editor's note: This review was written in February 2010 about the 2010 Chevrolet Traverse. The high clearance is good for exiting the driveway over the city supplied snow banks. Comfort and interior space are strengths of the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse design, and you could almost think of it as a minivan interior without the sliding doors. And Steering problems by 12000 miles. Everything about the Traverse has far exceeded my expectations. The recall began on November 15, 2016.
