I bought a 2025 LS model and it was very easy to figure it all out. A little over a month in and still learning about all of the features. So far so good. Nice little SUV.
I've never had a sales rep go over this stuff when I bought my cars. I wish they did. It's good info to know even if a lot of it seem self explanatory.
Because most sales people are just plain TRASH they just want the sale and that’s it no explanations or nothing it’s really disgusting how the world is today
Very Informative Video, Thank You Dave, Me and my Fiancée bought 2 new 2025 2RS Trax 2 weeks ago, we both could not be Happier with these cars, they are truly Awesome...
This was a very comprehensive and thorough review of the features inside the Chevy Trax. Thank you very much for this video as it was greatly appreciated!
Excellent video! 👍👍 Lots of great information, thanks for taking the time. There's a good chance I'll have one of these cars in the yard soon, upgrading from my '16 trax. 😁
Thank you so much for this video. This is very informative and helpful. My new vehicle is about 3 weeks old. My salesman told me nothing about any of this, he just showed me how to set up the radio stations. And I had no clue what questions to ask.
Thank you very much! I'm doing research on Chevrolet Trax, and I've learned soo much within 5 minutes. I've never used most of these features before because I was too lazy to read the manual or did not remember what the salesman said. I'm a Chevy Girl!! Hopefully, this will be my 4th one.
I just purchased my 2025 Trax on 11/29/24. I’m excited to learn all about my vehicle and this is why I am please to happened upon your video. It is very detailed and you pointed out so many hidden features. My question is, how do I determine what kind of Trax I have? I know about the Active(I do not have), but how do I determine the others, LT, LS, RS?
I wasn’t told anything about my activ when I got it. Unfortunately the salesman didn’t really know anything about. So I wasn’t shown how to change my speed odometer screen. Plus I had to setup the app, link my phone, and setup my onstar my self. I’m honestly learning things I didn’t know about my car from this. Thank you so much for doing this one! It was helpful.
Which is what a sales representative is paid to do. The hidden secret is that is how you generate repeat business. Sadly, for everyone, the car buying process is not a pleasant experience which is what it should be.
In Florida and especially in Miami car insurance is very expensive. Insurance for the Chevy Trax cost half as much as same 25k KIA, Hyundai, Toyota or Honda. This is part of the reason we are getting daughter in college one for Christmas. Take into account insurance cost when deciding which car to buy.
Thank you very much for all the things i didn't know about my Trax. I was told this is Chevrolet top seller. I am very happy with my purchase of my 2025 Trax Activ!!! 😊
I can see why the new Trax is selling well. It's a great looking vehicle...MUCH better looking than the previous generation (Chevy was smart to make it longer, lower, and wider), with a lot of great features for the money.. Nice detailed walk through.
Agree. I leased one for my daughter in college..great value, run, comfortable and reliable..why buy a use car with the unknown when you can get a new a car with these features at a very affordable price point
@@s99614 Well that is true if you drive a Hyundai/Kia. New recall because the power seat switch can catch on fire. Ever considerate Hyundai/Kia recommends parking the car outside.
@@s99614do I need a power driver seat? No! I do love my driver side power seat on my 2024 activ. On Long rides I like being able to make small adjustments with the power seat!
Thank you for the great video. I am a Salesperson like yourself and this video would save me a lot of time explaining the features during presentation and delivery. I will start sending this to everyone who is interested on the particular trim. Not only me, so many chevy sales dudes who follow you, would do the same. I recommend you doing a series with each available model. cheers to the Great content
Leased a '25 in July. Painted in the gorgeous Marina Blue metallic. I had seen this feature in TH-cam reviews previously, but my salesman did mention and instruct me on how to adjust the screen settings. As I often have researched a vehicle quite a bit, I often now about a lot of these things, but it's great when a salesman/woman does their job thoroughly showing you the features before you drive away. And as many have done, clearly stated that if there are any questions, call or stop by and ask, that's what they're there for. I traded a '23 Ford for my Trax and haven't been disappointed either. The fit and finish are better, interior materials also are better. On top of that, it was thousands less with more features.
This was fantastic, I have a 2024 trax 2 RS and the dealer didn’t tell me anything. One thing I would like to mention to your viewers is if you have a push button start and you want to listen to the the radio with engine off, press and hold the start button, foot off the brake, hold button 5 seconds till dash lights come on and a green indicator on stop/start switch lights green, push to turn off. This was irritating for me to constantly turning radio on and off. I love my trax
Love the video Dave. Nice review of the trax. I've been enjoying your content since your first upload. Really enjoy the content. Nice job. Continued success to you.
Great video, and I've watched a lot of videos and learned some things from this one after buying my 2025 Activ. One important thing, and I noticed it in this video, is the tire pressures at 48. The car is shipped that way, but it's wrong. Check the driver's door, but I think the pressure is 35 in the front and 32 in the rear. Drives so much better. Dealers just missed it, and I've seen it on other reviews as well. Really affects the drive quality.
Yes, the tires have to be dropped by service dept before delivery. They are overfilled to avoid flat spots while sitting at factory, on ship, etc. Congrats on your new Activ!!
@DaveBsellsChevy Thanks. It's an awesome little vehicle. And a lot of dealers miss that for some reason. Your vehicle wasn't delivered to a customer, but I've seen a few TH-cam videos where they missed it. I traded my high mileage 1SS Camaro I bought new in 2016 for it. Other than missing my LT1's 455hp and 6 speed, I love it. Plus, the gas savings and no more Mustangs, ricers, etc, trying to get me to race, which I sometimes couldn't resist. Great little daily, and looks good as well.
Would it make sense for GM to make a video regarding the features you just described? Not all Chevy sales people will take the time to do what you just did.
Same here I just got my 2025 Chevy Trax last week and I was trying to figure out how to turn the volume to the radio up and down without using the knob until I accidently touch the back of the steering wheel and found them. I love this car it actually sit up higher than I expected and the gas mileage is great.
Excellent video… A maintenance concern I have is the timing belts instead of a chain on the 1.2 liter…I like this model a lot..Lots of great features. My son and his wife just took delivery off 2024 ICE Equinox..Great car too…Peace…
Yea I think that is all new cars these days they truly only engineer them to last through the powertrain warranty after that it’s all a wing and a prayer
Probably better off leasing, its a 3 cylinder turbo made in S Kore and China. But it looks nice and Chevy priced it competitively. In China its sold as the Chevrolet Seeker.
No I didn't know about the button that lets you change the gauges thank you so much for sharing that! I just got my silver gray metallic 2025 Trax today and I love it already! It's a lot of car for the price!
My niece bought a 2024 Activ in Cayenne back in Jan and my nephew just got the 2025 2RS in Crimson. They are both in love with their Trax. Awesome cars. The only real update for the 2025 is it is FlexFuel - you can use E85. The 2024 is *not* E85 compatible.
@@charkswitlazers You mean the E85 capability? It's in the owners manual and I caught it in the Printbook sent to dealers and available online. The E85 is a poor value because mpg usually drops enough to make the fuel cost per mile higher. Sadly, 2025 ended many of the cool colors - the Orange, Bronze, Fountain Blue and the darker Blue Glow. For 2025, there is a dark gray with a greenish tint and Marina Blue - a reboot of the 1967 Chevrolet color of the same name, and it's a bright sky blue with a slight lean toward teal. It's an awesome color in bright sunlight as long as you like blue.

Very informative, I have a 1997 nissen quest, the chevy trax looks good, but I would really have to learn all this new stuff, that's why at 73, I'm hanging on to my 1997, a lot of stuff u don't need I like back up mirror, but that's about all, omg!! It would take me a while to learn
I'm 73 also. But I have a 2012 Jeep Liberty that needs replacing and I cannot believe you still have a 27 year old car that's running? Anyway, you don't know what you're missing and you're feeling sorry for yourself. You think it's been easy for me to keep up with never-ending changing technology over the years? There's been times when I just wanted too stand still. But somehow someway I always managed to gather up some unknown mental energy and too plow forward into the scary unknown. Therefore, I would recommend watching this video several more times and similar videos like it before entering a dealership. Then maybe You can tell them a thing or two because you'll be the one who knows more! Best wishes
Wow. Great job. I picked up my 2025 Equinox LT with two option packages a few weeks ago. Many of the features on the Trax are different from those on the Equinox and some are similar. From your video I have a much better understanding of my Equinox. I still do not understand how the "cabin humidity" feature works or how to turn it on and off. Or even what it does. Thanks again for the great explanation of features. : )
I read in other threads that this really isn’t a car you can or should road trip with because of the engine, can anyone speak to that? I’m very interested and thinking of leasing because I’m concerned about its longevity.
I did have a client purchase one and drive from NJ the Florida for a vacation the day after they bought it. Other than getting a flat tire everything went great!
the capless gas tank is such a pita when it fails though like it did in my ford fiesta. it would take 7-8 mins to fill the tank, had to go super slow. drove me nutz
Not quite halfway thru video and I’ve leaned about the bumper jack and where it attaches under an over. Where they also a tow hook and where it’s found. Also, never knew of the key hidden in FOB. And the corresponding cover in door handle. Thanks for info. Hope video 2nd half is as good We got our LT 2nd week of January 24.
If you are considering a Trax or Envision or Fiesta TH-cam search Wet Belt timing belts. You will probably change your mind. If you have one I suggest oil changes every 2500 miles (3000 max) with the proper oil. I have no idea what the proper oil is. Check with your dealer. This might keep that belt happy so it doesn't ruin the engine. And the turbo will appreciate the clean oil also. Otherwise looks like a nice car. Real automatic transmission. Spare tire. Good stuff. Best wishes.
Never ever ever purchase an extended warranty !!!! They are the biggest rip off a person can buy. My comeback is "What so this vehicle isn'y going to last more than 5 years !!!
Not necessarily true. Never use a bank extended warranty, they have a ton of loopholes. I work at a dealership, and I'm not saying all are the same, however ours covers everything but wearables.
You probably were aware already or this vehicle was not equipped with it, but the Ford collision button also plays as the adaptive cruise control distance from the vehicle in front of you. It is really cool. I had the Chevy but traded it for the Buick and found out the adaptive cruise control. Will literally come to a complete halt if traffic stops and then resume what you had cruise control sit on.
True, but it's not very good at recognizing stopped vehicles, so don't think it will keep you from running into the back of all vehicles. If you're coming up to a stop light, and you have adaptive cruise control engaged, there's a good chance it will not slow down automatically if a car is stopped in front of you.
Only thing I could add is show how to remove that little cover for the key access. Instruction manual tries to give a picture of it, but once you do it you'll understand (and don't lose that little metal clip!)
Excellent video! Just got my 2025 2RS yesterday. The salesman let me know about the top secret adjuster for the options for gauge faces and the other options. He also set up my phone to my dash to access my WAZE maps and other infotainment options. I live in the rust belt of Michigan. Do I need to have my 2025 2RS rust proofed? Inquiring minds want to know: Where do we get the cool shades you are wearing?
Great presentation, my dealer didn't tell me nearly anything what I have learned here. I love my Trax! When I remote start my Trax I can not get it into gear. Does anyone know why so I don't have to shut it off and restart it again.
Dave I have to disagree about the SOS button being faster for emergency help. You’re better off dialing 911 and getting the local PSAP directly vs hitting that button which connects you to an answering service who then transfers your call to the same PSAP you’d get if you had called 911 yourself in the first place. Just quicker to cut out the middle man. That being said, I will say there are some benefits to it. Their location data is often more accurate than the location data coming from cell phones and they also do have your name and vehicle information if needed for whatever the emergency might be.
So I just leased the Buick Envista. Sister car. Much of what is offered is in the Envista. I appreciate the review. But Envista only has two driver options for diver display. That's fine I didn't like the third anyway lol. However...there has been a few times where my selected driver display changed to option 1 without me selecting it. The other annoyance is sometimes. I'll leave the car with iheart radio playing and when I get in the next time Pandora just starts playing. The one thing I do like is the audio when I start the car is always low no matter how high it wad when I exited it. Two months into my lease.
Dave I really like how you slow everything down and explain the vehicle in detail. I do have a question and I did not see a video from you covering this unless I overlooked it. Why does leasing seem to be a lot of the sales at Schumacher instead of financing? I live in the eastern part of Tennessee and the majority of new vehicles here are purchase instead of a lease. Is there a benefit one over the other? My wife and I have always financed and have never done a lease on a vehicle. Is there a chance that one day you could do a walk through video on the benefits between a lease deal compared to a traditional finance from the view of a customer?
Leasing is a bit of a scam, you put several thousand dollars down, make monthly payments, and give the car back, and if you're lucky, you won't get dinged for going over the allotted miles and tire wear. The counter is you're getting rid of the car before bigger/more serious maintenance issue (might) arrive.
I bought a 2025 LS model and it was very easy to figure it all out. A little over a month in and still learning about all of the features. So far so good. Nice little SUV.

the capless gas tank is such a pita when it fails though like it did in my ford fiesta. it would take 7-8 mins to fill the tank, had to go super slow. drove me nutz
Not quite halfway thru video and I’ve leaned about the bumper jack and where it attaches under an over. Where they also a tow hook and where it’s found. Also, never knew of the key hidden in FOB. And the corresponding cover in door handle. Thanks for info. Hope video 2nd half is as good
We got our LT 2nd week of January 24.
You guys make delivery day long and drawn out. Its also nice you put this video together for your customer.
I’m thinking about a Trac for my next vehicle, and this was very helpful!
Great review Dave.
We need more reviews on the new Colorado Dave B!
If you are considering a Trax or Envision or Fiesta TH-cam search Wet Belt timing belts. You will probably change your mind.
If you have one I suggest oil changes every 2500 miles (3000 max) with the proper oil. I have no idea what the proper oil is. Check with your dealer.
This might keep that belt happy so it doesn't ruin the engine.
And the turbo will appreciate the clean oil also.
Otherwise looks like a nice car. Real automatic transmission. Spare tire. Good stuff.
Best wishes.
Never ever ever purchase an extended warranty !!!! They are the biggest rip off a person can buy. My comeback is "What so this vehicle isn'y going to last more than 5 years !!!
Probably not with that Briggs and Straton 3cyl sewing machine engine under the hood. I think it will pop a head gasket or turbo.
I have used my extended warranties a ton! Especially the windshield, key fob, and tire one
Not necessarily true. Never use a bank extended warranty, they have a ton of loopholes. I work at a dealership, and I'm not saying all are the same, however ours covers everything but wearables.
Right, I paid $800 for an 8 year warranty with $100 deductible for my 2016 Honda….never used it.
@@doggy911 That's like visiting a doctor and they find nothing wrong. Wasted money because you are healthy?
Ha! I Love my brand spanking new 2025 Fully Loaded sterling grey trax-activ
This is the best video I have seen, thanks for your help
@@tammyrand6327 awesome!
now that was info packed!
You probably were aware already or this vehicle was not equipped with it, but the Ford collision button also plays as the adaptive cruise control distance from the vehicle in front of you. It is really cool. I had the Chevy but traded it for the Buick and found out the adaptive cruise control. Will literally come to a complete halt if traffic stops and then resume what you had cruise control sit on.
True, but it's not very good at recognizing stopped vehicles, so don't think it will keep you from running into the back of all vehicles. If you're coming up to a stop light, and you have adaptive cruise control engaged, there's a good chance it will not slow down automatically if a car is stopped in front of you.
great video and explanation of everything
We have an LT. I believe I knew more about it than the salesman knew about it. There wasn’t much about it that I didn’t already know. lol Thanks Dave.
How do you open the trunk from inside the vehicle. Im not seeing a trunk release button
Good stuff. Awesome presentation of what the Trax has. 🎉
Great video and review i have a 2RS and i love it! 😎
Right on!
What color. Just got a cacti green
Only thing I could add is show how to remove that little cover for the key access. Instruction manual tries to give a picture of it, but once you do it you'll understand (and don't lose that little metal clip!)
So how do you remove it?
Yes, the host should have demonstrated the panel cover removal. Just pointing it out makes things worse...
Excellent video! Just got my 2025 2RS yesterday. The salesman let me know about the top secret adjuster for the options for gauge faces and the other options. He also set up my phone to my dash to access my WAZE maps and other infotainment options.
I live in the rust belt of Michigan. Do I need to have my 2025 2RS rust proofed?
Inquiring minds want to know: Where do we get the cool shades you are wearing?
Congrats on your nee Cruze!! Shades are Oakley Holbrooks
Learned so much thank you
So glad!
I have a 2024 activ cacti green and yes, I was told about the secret menu for the different gauge faces
are there any big differences between the 24 & 25 trax?
Great presentation, my dealer didn't tell me nearly anything what I have learned here. I love my Trax! When I remote start my Trax I can not get it into gear. Does anyone know why so I don't have to shut it off and restart it again.
Because it’s a Chevy! 😔
Its great that this has auto high beam but a bwm needs a subscription for this and other things like heated seat
Break away mirrors is amazing.
Have a Trax. Did not know about the secret button until this video. Thanks!
Sweet!!
Dave I have to disagree about the SOS button being faster for emergency help. You’re better off dialing 911 and getting the local PSAP directly vs hitting that button which connects you to an answering service who then transfers your call to the same PSAP you’d get if you had called 911 yourself in the first place. Just quicker to cut out the middle man. That being said, I will say there are some benefits to it. Their location data is often more accurate than the location data coming from cell phones and they also do have your name and vehicle information if needed for whatever the emergency might be.
Wow, the 2025's are already out. I thought the new car year would not be released until October or November.
Some models are introduced sooner than others
@@DaveBsellsChevy interesting i didn't know that. The color on that car looks really nice.
Same, I was a bit shocked my new LS Trax is a 2025!
Can't believe that the 2025's are out 😮😮.
So I just leased the Buick Envista. Sister car. Much of what is offered is in the Envista. I appreciate the review. But Envista only has two driver options for diver display. That's fine I didn't like the third anyway lol. However...there has been a few times where my selected driver display changed to option 1 without me selecting it. The other annoyance is sometimes. I'll leave the car with iheart radio playing and when I get in the next time Pandora just starts playing. The one thing I do like is the audio when I start the car is always low no matter how high it wad when I exited it. Two months into my lease.
You can adjust how loud you want to volume to be when you start!
How do you pre set the HVAC blower/fan to come on at any other speed than LOW when using “.Auto Start”? Mine is always on LOW.
Is there a way to open the trunk from inside the car? A trunk release handle or button?
Ggreat job explaining this. Thx.
Thanks! Very informative.
I almost walked out of my purchase in Chicago with all extended warranty talks.
Just buy one from the bank ..the dealership is over priced.
@@jakey20022 I've never heard of buying an extended warranty from the bank. Where do you live?
Man that color is gorgeous 😍 ✨️
Excellent demo. .
When you popped the gas tank and there's no gas cap do you see a problem with that
Been around for 15 years
Dave I really like how you slow everything down and explain the vehicle in detail. I do have a question and I did not see a video from you covering this unless I overlooked it. Why does leasing seem to be a lot of the sales at Schumacher instead of financing? I live in the eastern part of Tennessee and the majority of new vehicles here are purchase instead of a lease. Is there a benefit one over the other? My wife and I have always financed and have never done a lease on a vehicle. Is there a chance that one day you could do a walk through video on the benefits between a lease deal compared to a traditional finance from the view of a customer?
Leasing is a bit of a scam, you put several thousand dollars down, make monthly payments, and give the car back, and if you're lucky, you won't get dinged for going over the allotted miles and tire wear. The counter is you're getting rid of the car before bigger/more serious maintenance issue (might) arrive.
When can we see 2025 equinox.
Wouldn't the cruise control shut off once you hit the brake pedal
