Love my Traverse

2023 Chevrolet Traverse LS 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

Vehicle drives smoothly. The lower tier LS has enough bella and whistles for this driver. Lacks power seats mainly. Some issues with speaker crackle, hoping that works out as it is brand new.

This car has been a complete maintenance nightmare! Some of the things we have had to get fixed: 1st oil leak, shifter replaced, wiring harness replaced, 2nd oil leak leading to oil pan replaced, misfiring pistons, stability control sensor, oil consumption issue, center seat belt, center console clip spring, center seatbelt recall.

Edmunds missed a few of the finer points

2023 Chevrolet Traverse LT Cloth 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

Edmunds dropped some balls, As if they just didn't care because it's not a Kia or Toyota review. For instance, fog lights are no longer available for 22+ Traverses because they've relocated the headlights just above the normal fog light location. I had my doubts about this change (as well as only having 2 headlamps).Update: The low mounted headlights turned out to be garbage collectors. I've had to replace one already (at 7000 miles)..$1300 from dealer, $365 from Amazon. Took about an hour. But wouldn't have even been necessary if headlight were mounted higher in the traditional location. Looking at Edmunds descriptions you would Not think that the LT Cloth is available with really nice features. But we have remote start, 8" radio, remote windows, heated seats and electric tailgate, available with the Convenience pkg. This makes for a very comfortable LT Cloth, at a comparatively reasonable price. Only additional options we needed were AWD and Tow pkg. Very pleased that remote start and remote windows down lives on the keyfob instead of requiring monthly fees and an app (Toyota requires a fee/app). As mentioned by others, the V6 engine provides an amazing amount of power. Looking at the 0-60 times still didn't prepare us for this kind of acceleration out of a full size SUV! It is EXTREMELY hard to find the Tow pkg with AWD for some reason. We wanted and eventually managed to also get the Dk Blue/cream interior. It is beautiful, but we're quickly having 2nd thoughts about how quickly cream color soils. (Black seat covers are on the way for front and back, as well as a Black arm rest cover for the console.) The LT version instrument cluster is easy to read with the analog gauges. (The oddly colored Premium instrument cluster was harder to read.) Love the storage, especially the extra deep cargo bin in back. The non-premium stereo turned out to be fortuitous, as I discovered the Bose system only adds a center channel speaker in the dash and a 4 1/2" subwoofer, whyyy? For much less money ($350), we added our own upgrade. The rear cargo bin turned out to be a perfect location for a 12" Rockford sub and amp with room to spare! Unfortunately, GM adds a high tech engine noise suppression system to hide low RPM engine rumble, which causes the sub to hum at low frequency at times. So we had to disable the suppressor. (We still don't hear any engine noise!😊) Looking forward to many happy years.

Have the Traverse for over a year now. What's not to like. Roomy, comfortable, quiet, plenty of power, selectable 2wd or AWD, a spare tire, which I already had to use. Thank goodness for the spare else I would have needed a tow. Surprisingly good gas mileage, have averaged 24.5 mpg. Easy in and out and plenty of storage.

Loving our new wheelchair accessible Traverse!

As a mom to a kiddo in a wheelchair, I have been limited to wheelchair accessible vans for the past 7 years. We have owned converted versions of a 2017 Pacifica, 2016 Odyssey, and 2021 Sienna. I recently found out about the Braunability converted Traverse and we made the purchase last week. This is the first time I have truly LOVED my vehicle since as long as I can remember! The ride is so smooth, the engine is quiet but powerful, and the kids love the dual sunroofs. The wireless carplay is so handy to have, and we are super excited to finally own a wheelchair accessible vehicle that can actually tow a small camper (without having to use a massive full sized wheelchair van). My only complaint so far is the gas mileage--I currently average below 17mpg, but I am hoping that gets better with time. Coming from the hybrid Sienna (30+ mpg), it will just take some time getting used to making a few more stops at the gas station. Its been such a wonderful upgrade for our family though, and I am so grateful to finally have an SUV option with plenty of space, power and comfort for our family of 5, including my son's powerchair. Thanks to Chevy and Braunability for this wonderful vehicle!
