2023 Chevrolet Traverse Towing Capacity

The Chevy Traverse is everyone’s favorite people-hauler, but interested shoppers might not know that the Traverse is a capable cargo hauler, too. In fact, the 2023 Chevy Traverse towing capacity can reach as high as 5,000 pounds! You’ll need to add the optional Trailering Equipment Package to access that upper limit, but if you plan on doing a lot of heavy lifting, then the upgrade is well worth the cost.

Should You Choose the Trailering Equipment Package?

It’s easy to get more done when you choose the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer. This family-friendly SUV can seat either seven or eight passengers, and you can fold the rear seats flat when you need more room for cargo. And, if you can’t fit something inside the cabin, you can always hook up a trailer before you head out of Los Banos or Modesto.

As we alluded to above, the Chevy Traverse towing capacity will vary depending on how you configure your vehicle:

• Traverse Towing Capacity (without Trailering Equipment Package): 1,500 pounds
• Traverse Towing Capacity (with Trailering Equipment Package): 5,000 pounds

So, yes—opting for the Trailering Equipment Package will improve the Chevy Traverse towing capacity. However, that’s not all you’ll get with this add-on. Here’s the full list of equipment that the package includes:

• 5,000-pound Trailer Hitch
• Heavy-Duty Cooling System
• Button-activated Tow/Haul Mode

If you’ve equipped the Trailering Equipment Package and you’re looking for other options, you might also want to consider features like Hitch View and Hitch Guidance.
