His points are purely opinion. When he talks about the interior; the hard plastic works when you have kids. Easy to clean. I love my Traverse.
If you ever been blinded by an SUV WITH LED lights you’ll appreciate this very much
Low-mounted headlights are much better than conventional ones for two reasons. They:
(1) Allow you to read the texture of the road at night much better, see potholes, etc. High-mounted headlights create flat image.
(2) Do not blind the driver ahead of you.
I consider low-mounted headlights to be an advantage. Something I would like to see is cornering headlights. It's a safety feature and should be available on every vehicle, at least as an option.
I have to disagree. It is the worst idea and a safety issues. When driving on FSR you can undoubtedly feel how wrong this design is. Shadows casted by these headlights are disturbing and the fact that every dip looks like a crater and you can't see how deep these holes are creating a feeling that you are driving on the moon. Even IIHS scored them as poor so your opinion is just that.
@@HG-Pilot "every dip looks like a crater" - Talk about hyperbolic exaggeration. Do you realize that those lower lights are barely lower than regular headlights on Toyota Corolla? Get a grip. And I have nothing against standardizing the height of headlights like those of passenger cars, or would that also frighten you?
@@mountainhobo I would never take Corolla to the cabin and why are you bringing a corolla into an SUV conversation? Because you don't have a better point to make or because derailing the dialog you somehow considering a good argument? But hey, I am sure that your subjective opinion overweights collective engineering consensus of IIHS.
@@HG-Pilot WTH are you talking about? We are talking about the height of the headlights. No one is derailing you. Get a grip, enough hysterics. I will mute you now.
@@HG-Pilot Did you look at the actual IIHS data or just the rating? Because these lights objectively perform better than the previous higher mounted ones and worlds better than the ones on my F-150.
This 5 reason are horrible. It is a beautiful vehicle. None of those are bad things
Tell him again.
Ive had 2 chevy traverses, all struts went bad, list power steering, eltrical issues, miss fires, bad alternators, constant check engine lights, bad o2 sensors all the damn time, bad speakers
@@StaticM223none of these "issues" were because of your bad driving habits I'm sure.
@@heathjohnson2575what is the temperature in your area?
None of those are problems to me.
You want a higher performance engine in a family hauler? Get a Tahoe
These are minor problems, the car is nice and still good to use.
I love mines,it’s been reliable and if I want a V8 I would get a mustang or a truck.I love the mpg I get and it’s so roomy and comfortable.
The lights position on this is much better than my previous 2015 traverse. Road is easier to see in night time. The height is equal to any sedan’s headlights so they are not that low. The fog lights were much lower in previous traverse. My old Traverse was 6 speed and was fun to drive. For this vehicle even 8 speed was enough.
You know that guy who heckles the stand-up comic when everybody else likes him? Yeah....that guy. LOL
Wow… if that’s all you got for cons… then this is a pretty nice SUV for what it’s designed for.
You must remember that Chevrolet did not build the traverse to be a performance vehicle at all. They’re not like dodge. They don’t need to put a V-8 in everything to get people to want them. Putting a 10 speed transmission and a V-8 in the traverse would make it less affordable. People want an awesome looking vehicle that they can afford. And that’s what the RS does. I actually have that same trim in all-wheel-drive and color. And it’s a fantastic vehicle.
You are totally right
I agree in the fact that the interior materials are a bit cheap but I think that the motor and transmission are fine, most of the mid size competition are 8 speed and are below it's 310hp
You’re being real nit picky. We love our 2022
I have a 2020 Traverse. I love it. I cannot complain. I have a fully loaded one and it’s great. Gas mileage seems less efficient than my Ford Explorer… but love it still.
Our mileage around town leaves something to be desired for sure. On the highway it's great. Kind of the opposite of my experience with Ecoboosts.
Did you buy an 8 passenger vehicle for gas mileage??? Was it even a concern??? Really???
You could have gotten an Escape or rx30 if gas mileage is your priority .
I just find it hilarious when reviewers are saying "Well this huge vehicle has a 4-banger turbo so it gets 25MPG instead of the 22 you get with a V6."
They have got to be laughing their freaking heads off when they write that drivel!!😂😂😂
I don't think they really expect us to take them seriously.
And more often than not, your paying an extra 3500+ for the Turbo and all its attachments to be added to the vehicle.
With that 3 MPG difference and $3500 in your pocket, you could buy 875 gallons of fuel good for 19,000+ miles. You'll probably never make up that $3500 in fuel savings.
His just used to the old school lights, I personally love it, this are pretty dumb things not to like, I have a 2022 & I love everything about it, very unique, roomy, Fast, smooth.
I have this model 2022 in white and the only thing I would’ve liked is a type c port. Everything else is great !! If that’s what you’re complaining about get a Tahoe 😅
Get a Tahoe...if you can afford it.
I don't complain about gas mileage in an 8 passenger vehicle but that extra Tahoe $12,000. That hurts. 😳
This kind of people thinks that hey can get away with all of them whims. Appreciate what you have there's people still riding the bus
First world problems.👍
OMG you’re a nutty picker! I’ve had a 2018 Traverse HC and 2023 Traverse HC
Some of the things are useless or costly!
I can’t agree with most of these issues.
The one I do is it would be nice to have a sportier engine option, perhaps a small block 8, making the RS more than an appearance package.
Also no option for a built in electronic brake control for towing.
One other small thing… no rear retractable window screens like many of the competition in this class.
Even so, I take delivery on my Mosaic Black Metalic on Jet Black w spice red interior next week. 😊
Totally agree with the whole headlight split. It looks weird and same can't wait for the trend to be over!
As a former telluride owner I’ll tell you right now IT IS a polished turd. It’s made so cheap the three years I owned it I’ll say it was in the shop very often. Crap just breaking left and right
So the five things you hate about this Traverse RS in particular are all just your opinion on how it looks. I guess I feel much better about mine
so have you had any issues with the transmission yet?
Why do you at least show us a clean one
I love my Traverse! Smooth ride coming from a Silverado trail boss former owner.
Traverse is a FWD based vehicle, the 10 speed is a RWD transmission
I agree with the low headlights. That’s the only thing I don’t like about these redesigned traverses. Even though the front end looks cool, I’m not used to having headlights that low on an SUV. Having the DRLs and the headlights separated just doesn’t look right.
Otherwise, these are awesome looking SUVs.
It doesn't really look any different than anything else using fog lights, and the low position allows them to be brighter without blinding oncoming drivers.
The only thing I Definitely agree is the headlight problem. Everything else is trifling. The only reason you might need a V8 is for towing, so that's a maybe.
The trans is fine, the chrome is a personal thing, irrelevant to me. The hard plastics are functional. Very nit picky.
Anyway, the headlights CAN'T double as fog lights because headlight focus the beam forward.
If you notice most foglights are just a bulb and a clear lense, this throws light in all directions low to the ground. I also find it helpful when pulling into my driveway at night because the fog lights throw some light out to the sides. I'd actually prefer cornering lights...maybe one day.
In the meantime, I'll be installing fogs in that black plastic just below the silver accent .
I kind of prefer adding my own fogs because I can set the relay up so they're active with the parking lights and/or active with the high beams which you can't get OEM. So maybe they did me a favor...time will tell.
As far as complaints, I would say it's strange to have a "lights OFF" button that you turn Off to turn the interior lights ON.
Cup holders in back are wholly inadequate without the optional 2nd row center console.
The headlight switch is crazy . Left for OFF , right for Parking Lights, and then Left for Auto. A 4 detente switch like everyone else uses would have been simpler and preferable .
Another peeve is that I can't run the ventilation when motor is off!! That's probably the most stupid decision of all.
Agree with the transmission. That has been the number #1 issue with the Chevrolet Traverse for years. I do like my 2023 Chevrolet Traverse, but it’s not the greatest feeling praying for your transmission. It’s in the back of your mind.
You forgot no digital cluster everyone is doing it for that price point plus the technology on the traverse is so behind everyone else’s
Big disagreement here...at least kn 2023. It supports Apple and Android , some other highly rated competitors DON'T .
Some of their imementations could use some fine tuning,but the tech is there.
We just bought 2023 Traverse and the only thing I hate about it is there's no cd player. Yes, I'm old
@musoui fingers crossed we don't have a bad one then.
Another issue is on my Chevy 2023 when I stopped on lights and start moving again have a bit vibration. Anyone else have same problem?
Mine is smooth as glass at 200 miles.
I'm giving the Stop/start another chance since it is now much LESS aggressive than it used to be.
It doesn't even seem to work when AC is on.
I just don't see how starting an engine 200+ times per day can be good for it.
So I'll probably disable it like I did on my last car (2018 escape)
My feeling is your comments are pretty lame. Non of your dislikes are a big deal to me.
Does this model only come in red?
😂😂 They call it "pull-me-over Red"
Come on Ben. Your just not picking now bc your a dodge fan. It’s more about performance than your weird nit picking.
This is an OCD rant and the chrome can be wrapped
I think the point about the engine is good. The 3.6 is dated for sure. I would never buy a vehicle that size with any 4cyl ever. Maybe the 4.3?
GM just went to complete 360 backward on these newer models. To me, it just looks weird and very awkward. The bodystyle looks great period. Just not digging the headlight down where the foglight is at and then LED daytime running light up where the headlight is, just made absolutely no sense in terms of logic.
I agree with headlights and dash could be more digital
The Premiere has a more digital dash and I didn't like it.
Grey needle on white numbers?? When you set cruise, then it adds another Grey needle to the mix just to add to the confusion.
I love my good old red needle on white numbers. And I like the needle touching the numbers...not pointing in the general vicinity like on the Premiere .
Premiere is a pretty poor implementation of digital.
What I find amazing is that people mention these petty things but nobody mentions that Chevy does not give middle seat passengers in the 2nd (on the bench) or 3rd row head restraints like EVERY other competitor. Are you going to put your kids in a seat that doesn't have a head restraint? That is inexcusable in a family vehicle IMO.
It's nice car. Your 5 things is HORRIBLE !!
What do we need with bigger engines and more power? What are we going to do with it? The biggest concerns about these SUVs is poor fuel economy, so doesn't it make sense to put a smaller block with the turbo in it for the power instead of a larger block that is going to be worse for fuel economy?
Add a $3500 turbo.
Get 3 more mpg.
Or buy an extra 875 gallons of gas with the $3500 .
That's not even including taking the $3500 you saved on the V6 investing it at 8% and getting $280/yr in income to buy even MORE gas!😂😂😂
Do the numbers people!! It's only math!☺️
They have other RS that don't have the chrome on it. Saw it on silver metallic
I do like all that you don't, I have that exact Rigg, color, etc... It has blown off a few V8s pretty easily, it has plenty of power... Faster, faster, faster is not better anyways, driver safety, obeying road rules is what driving is supposed to be about... I think it looks great and feels great and, if I had one thing I would like to see improved, it would be put cross overs in each speaker and move the sub to the back Bose...that would improve the surround sound quality ... Otherwise, I love my Traverse and, I got my wife a Black 2022 Blazer RS and it literally flys... 0-60 in a self timed 5.4 seconds flat( and BTW, my Traverse just did 0-60 in 5.9 sec, with 4 people in it...just how fast do you need to go ... Maybe drink a few less Monsters and chill man...
In a vehicle like this,I can only see V8 for towing strength.
Similar to your experience,I'm still getting used to having 310 ponies on call in the 2023 and often find that I'm spinning all 4 wheels on a tight turn or U-turn. I'm still driving it like my CX-9 . 😂
A V8 engine would give it even better than the already efficient 5000 lb towing capacity ... I felt if they just added a tuned header exhaust system and, a Turbo on the V6 for an even sportier model and changed the trainy to the 8 speed truck trainy and rear end to increase the torque and towing capacity, plus optimize the Bose stereo even more(me being a major electronics/sound guy, the Bose is good but, they set it up wrong) then to me, this would be the ultimate slightly over midsize SUV... They are close... But no Cigar and, I still very much like my 2022 Traverse RS... I am thinking of trying the new 2024 RS soon as I lease new every 3 years but, why did Chevy not put a Turbo V6 availability in the RS vs just a Four Turbo... Either way, not bad, we'll see if I like the 2024 RS when it gets to my dealer... And BTW, my wife's 2022 Blazer RS really is quite fast...
I wish they put a digital dash and a bigger infotainment. Chevy makes good products but the interiors look cheap.
If you don't mind a 4 banger, Traverse is going to a 17.7" screen in 2024.
Personally, I'm holding out for the 4K 65" like I have at the house.😂😂😂
What exactly are you trying to do on this screen??
i have to disagree with the lights. I LOVE the new lights like this. and i hope it NEVER goes away. less blinding people on the road. I have the 2023 RS, and i love the lights. and even using the high beams on back roads, they are super bright. I am not sure why you hate it, but that was one of the best features to me. the only points i kind of agree with is the hard plastic instead of more soft touch surfaces, and the 10 speed would give this better gas millage. but i disagree with the rest.
People need to figure out the lights in their vehicles, too many people driving at night with rear running lights off, figure it out folks!
I’m considering this, the Honda pilot and the Toyota Highlander.
I just purchased the Toyota Highlander xle. It Definitely looks better than the traverse I think, but the traverse seems to be maybe a little bit bigger? Don't know. Have you bought one though?
@@thetruthyes I wound up buying a 2022 highlander-l. Got it for under msrp and am really enjoying it. We traded in a Hyundai accent so the highlander is waaay bigger than what we are use to. I do think it’s a tad smaller than the traverse. But traverses from 2022 or 2023 already have a recall for transmission issues….so I sleep good at night with my decision
Traverse is significantly larger in cargo capacity with 3 rows down.
I have to wonder how the stop/start is affecting all aspects of these vehicles.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's the cause of transmission failures.
I blew a front seal at 2000 miles on a for escape.
Had to get out of the way of a bug truck, but the motor was OFF. Stood on the gas and when it finally fired up, laid 4 20ft skid marks and blew the seal...but we survived.
If engine had already been running, components would have been stressed much less.
Why do people think SUVs need to have "high performance" engine options? Is it the cool thing to go drag race your 3 row family car on the weekend? If you want performance get a performance car not a 3 row family SUV.
What is wrong with people???
The low headlights don't bother me at all. It's a cool look.
Agree with the chrome comment, though. Chrome sucks! Especially on the interior.
1) Chevy is not going to drop the 5.3 into it. One, it probably won't fit. Two, the 2.7 T is GM's hope to phase it out.
2) If you are talking about the 10 speed GM & Ford co-developed, then look at all the lawsuits being filed with Ford. I'm good with the 9 speed and it's for a FWD application.
3) The 3.6 is a strong engine. I drove our friend's Acadia AWD and it moved. It took a second to find the passing gear, but I was in regular driving/eco mode.
4) The 2024 is going to address the cheap interior pieces. They are losing ground to the competition.
5) I hope the 2.7T is not the only engine option. Some folks are not too crazy about the advanced cylinder/cam setup. It may say you can run regular, but I'm sure it's happier on 93.
6) I'm on the fence about the headlights. I get it to be able to see the road better and you add in the DRL's, you got plenty of light.
7) Keep the actual gear selector handle. In the Acadia, I had to ask how to operate it, and it's on the center of the dash.
Don't forget that those turbos also require $109 synthetic oil change.
Someone does not know how engine and transmission are mounted. It’s not so easy to shove a longitudinal engine and transmission in a vehicle designed for a transverse configuration. There’s is a reason that is the engine and transmission available…
Too much “Personal Preference” interjection but hey, it’s his video. The Traverse is a large mid-size reliable suv with models and price ranges to accommodate most buyer’s needs. GM has convenient dealerships spread far and wide and will add the more current options (window shades, ventilated rear seats, hybrid options, etc.) in short order if they want to compete to a greater degree.
I tested a premier first.
It was 85° outside and I was freezing! I turned off the AC.
I'm still shivering !
I asked the salesman WTF is going on with this car?
He said, "Oh, the ventilated seat is on HI".
Turn it off.
Heat is all I need. 😂😂
I agree with the 5 things 110%.
How about excessive wind noise coming from the driver n passenger side, had a 2020 traverse lt, was getting wind noise, traded it in for a 2023 traverse premier, and still getting the wind noise, took it to the dealership, they couldn't figure it out, said something about aerodynamic, that's how they were built blaming gmc
Don't know if it will?work,but a friend had a CX-9 or Tribute..can't remember, but she said adding window shades made it go away. 🤯
That engine has plenty of power, 310 hp is a lot for a V6. If you want ridiculous power, then why not just get a hellcat or a dodge durango. This is a family vehicle, not a race car. GM could've up the torque power to 465 ft. Lb of torque to give it that quicker acceleration with the V6. The peppy little 4 banger just doesn't feel right for a midsize suv. V6 should've been standard on all Traverse as the proper engine.
Have same model RS in Red. DON'T Like Review Wiper in view, and Black side molding looks unfinished.
10 speed tranny is for Rwd based vehicle, not fwd based vehicle!
I think I would prefer a Highlander, Pathfinder, or Explorer to a Traverse
I wouldn't do a turbo gas for towing.
For so many years the experts were telling us multi valve engines and turbos are not good for towing. And then suddenly, they're just fine. Not buying it.
Just like masks work until they don't.
And check out the low-mileage failure rates on upper control arms in the Pathfinder before buying one of those...and a 6 month backorder on the replacement part.
Chrome is trational for muscle/sport before blacked out. but they should do them all one way or the other. I'll take chrome.
They could do chrome and add an optional blackout package like the Durango.
Everyone wins.
I'll take the less luxurious, blacked out RS over the grandma-ish High Country with all the chrome
Head lights is in perfect spot so it doesn't blind people eyes. I don't think you smart enough to figure out. Chevy doing a great job.
Your onto to something there , imagine a Traverse SS that would be sick 😁,considering GM doesn't have any recent SS 's in any of their later new vehicles, considering technology also im sure they could tinker with the idea 💡and give it like 505 hp hp for example
That would be cool...or maybe they'll go the other direction and plug in a 4-banger (again) in 2024. 😣
Agree with the head lights. NOT A FAN
I don't mind the headlights but they are not a substitute for fog lights.
I’m Not a Fan of Blackout Trims..
So here’s a question, if you don’t like what they’re doing with the Chevy traverse, then why did you buy one? All five of those reasons are absolutely ridiculous! Why would you spend the money on a vehicle that you don’t like? Instead, get a vehicle that you do like, and select all of the options that you want so it fits you. Stop complaining! If you don’t like it, get rid of it and get something that you do like L O L.
Chevrolet you need to put bigger head lights and daylight together what wrong with you Chevrolet it's a beautiful SUV
Lol super weird. I thought you were going to talk about the space or things that make sense. It should be called 5 things that I wanted that doesn’t make any sense . 😂 look man I prefer traverse. A lot of things I love #1 big huge space inside. #2 much horse power. #3. Six cylinders!! 👌#4 offers more space in 3rd row seat than any Kia telluride and Honda Pilot, I’ve seen it. Chevy traverse is way better than any of those cars period. You’re just asking nonsense. Don’t you think I didn’t want the traverse to have 1,000 horse power? Jajaja but nuh it’ll be nonsense.
4 Cylinder engines are one of the worse decisions you can buy for any SUV size cars. The weight of the car and the small 4 cylinder turbo engines cause a huge amount of wear and tear on those small engines that tend to have more problems in the long run. This is why Chevy decides to pull them off the Traverse in 2021 on forward. I agree they should have from V6 to V8 on these classes of SUV's. The only reason the 4 cylinder options exist around other cards its due to the Obama Car Pollution regulations that happened when he was in office, he wanted less pollution emitted by cars. Thus manufactures made cars with smaller engines and turbos to make up the difference. The grounded issue is still the weight to power for the cars. This is why you wont ever see a V6 Twin turbo on a F-350, even if it made the same amount of torque and power it would destroy that engine in the long run. Naturally inspired engines are simple and solid and outlast anything else, however they aren't fuel efficient. I had a traverse RS 2021 for 1 year 4 months an ended up trading it because i started to hear the engine a little louder and new i was on bored time. This is regardless of me always maitance it a head of time and taking care of it and never hauling anything and had 90% hwy miles.
It's a mass produced 3 row suv. You're kind of ticky tack, dude. These are all your opinions and frankly worthless. GM sells the hell out of this vehicle.
It's now outselling Yukon..er, Tahoe..whatever.
The GM 3.6 V6 is absolute trash. Timing chain issues galore. And their transmissions are garbage. Same with the Acadia and Enclave. Please people, buy a Lexus or Toyota.
You should special order your Traverse to your demanding taste or put your money where you’re mouth is and buy more expensive!
The palisade and telluride are stupidly overpriced and overrated.
you don’t know anything about transmissions and traverses
Agree on everything you say
None sense
Head lights are in same position as earlier versions driving lights. Same look.
3.6 v6 good enough
You want to race. Buy a race car.
The rest of your presentation reflects your lack of automotive manufacturing and technical knowledge.
Dear followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep your money safe.!!!👎👎👎👎👎😬👎😬👎👎Share so more people don't get screwed.GM is a big bluf
Smoke another one chacon
I have seen this exact comment on other reviews. Does someone pay you for this?
@@csweet4810 I do not have to smoke it because of the shit I ate from GM in reality and it is not tasty at all. CHACON
@@marlentamayo8912 No one pays me, unfortunately this is reality examples can be seen on Instagram
I worked 30+ years to be able to buy wtf I want. If you don't like GM's then don't. Just don't tell us what not to buy. Kma amigo.
I agree they are great looking SUVs but you never mentioned that they are the worst pieces of shit ever made. This is the most problematic vehicles ever made... Don't trust me, just do your own research.
