An attractive range of attributes keeps the Traverse selling strongly in the three-row utility category. It blends sought-after features with ample interior space, yet it’s not unwieldly like many large SUVs can be. With the standard pair of second-row captain’s-style seats, it’ll seat seven, but the base trim can be configured instead with a three-person bench to seat a total of eight. The Traverse slots between the Blazer and the Tahoe yet has more front- and second-row headroom than both. The model’s potential 98 cubic feet of cargo space (with the second and third rows folded down) leads the segment, and that space is easily accessed from both the tailgate and second-row doors. It’s quite capable as well, with a towing capacity that can reach 5,000 pounds thanks to the standard Trailering Package. Buyers have a choice of front- or all-wheel drive, except with the Z71, which gets standard all-wheel drive along with a trail-tuned suspension and additional ground clearance (7.76 inches vs. 6.77 inches in the other trims).
