What is the Chevy Traverse’s towing capacity?
My friends got stuck while mudding and they called me to tow them out. I’d like to help, but I don’t know if my car is big enough! How high is the 2020 Chevy Traverse’s towing capacity?

Most 2020
Chevy Traverse
models can only tow up to 1,500 pounds. But the Chevy Traverse Premier
can tow up to 5,000 pounds.The feature that makes the 2020 Premier more effective for towing than other models of Chevy Traverse is that it has All-Wheel Drive (AWD). Every other model of Chevy Traverse has front-wheel drive, meaning they have less friction and power than the premier.
That said, 1,500 pounds is a decent towing power for most cars. While non-premier models won’t be effective for towing in extreme situations (like thick mud or snow), they’re great for leisure activities like family trips or camping.
Remember, the weight capacity isn’t a recommendation. Hitching something too heavy to your car could result in brake, suspension, or body problems for your car. Check your owner’s manual to make sure of your car’s towing capacity before you attach anything to the back of your car.
