3rd row is fine for regular size people. 5’10” and below are able to fit fine. I’ve had plenty of people in and out and everyone says how much room it has
@@ezrapardede1921 When you say mid size SUV this would be the vehicle that would come to mind. The others look like mini vans aside from the Explorer. And the Traverse looks more like an Explorer than the actual Explorer.
Nice review Mike! Finally the Traverse getting some attention! We've had our LT for about 2.5 years now and love it. Gets nearly 30 mpg on the highway, can tow a small trailer, fit our 3 kids and their stuff for a road trip, and we got it for 30k... Good value vehicle.
To those who are considering this vehicle, I brought a rental with AWD to CA’s Lake Tahoe area this past snow season. City’s snow removal didn’t cover the private road to our airbnb cabin and that winding steep road was bad enough that day. Traverse handled that without problems which really astounded me because I thought AWD on this big guy mainly lives in the city is merely a tiny shiny badge on the back end. This is a wonderful car. I’m very sure after that several-hundred-mile family trip, snowy, rainy, local and highway.
But Hella dated interior with cheap hollow plastic everywhere. I really tried to love it. But it felt so cheap I passed this traverse. Maybe next model
I agree. I put in a lot of due diligence on this car and its competitors. I eventually got one in 2019 Premier and I have been very happy with it. 3 full size car seats and still plenty of space left for strollers and bags. Highly recommended!
Great review Mike Danger 😎. In my opinion, the Traverse is a bus...tons of room, and well worth it. I was going to get one a couple of years ago if Chevrolet didn't come out with the Blazer.
@@yesmikedanger I absolutely enjoy it 😁. It's roomy, and quite comfortable to this 6'4" (6'3½") guy 😎. My mother and step-dad enjoys it more than I do 🤣.
Excellent review Mike! Not a Traverse fan, more likely to go Palisade. The reliability of the GM 3.6 V6 has a lot to be desired, especially with cylinder deactivation. Ugh.
nice look size SUV ..the only questionable matter here is reliability !! in the long run they tend to have engine failure and electronics issues. and they rust really fast specially if you live in snowy area you have to either undercoat the Vehicle correctly or just keep washing it. I hope they address these issues. in real life not only in advertising !! Thanks man for the review
There's no other midsize suv that can come close to what this 2nd gen traverse has to offer, period. I have the 2018 LT awd traverse, and everything is just perfect. This 2nd gen traverse just have the best of both world in terms of features and cargo space.
Oh, I was waiting for a better digital color dashboard. Well probably for the people that still loving analog dashboard. Chevrolet always is a good brand so in reliable a think that is good. Thanks for share 🙏🏼
I rented a Traverse back in 2019. My family loved the room and the engine had a surprising amount of power. I remember it having lots of road/wind noise at highway speeds. Also the speakers were awful. We could never get the radio to sound good. Ours didn’t have the Bose system so hopefully that option has better sound.
I have a 2021 Chevrolet Traverse RS and I love it so far. It's my first SUV and it's made a good first impression so much so I don't plan on buying anymore cars.
MIKE DANGER!!! Glad to keep seeing you on here buddy! Great job as always and really great job to make a guy like me even feel like considering a vehicle like the Traverse...keep 'em coming brother. And did you really just start as the videographer post COTU era?
Yo yo! Thanks bro! And yeah… started out behind the camera 🎥 My first video in front of the cam was the KBB review of the Corvette C8 and kinda made small cameos since then 🙌🏾. …and I’m still shootin’!
I don’t know what to do! 😢 I’ve got a 13, 18, and 21 year old and wonder how this will hold up hauling them, me, hubby and our Frenchie. I currently own a 2014 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite but the horsepower isn’t enough for us. Maybe I should look into a Tahoe?
This is a vehicle for people who make bad decisions. Choosing this over a competing Honda or Toyota it's only for people who enjoy rapid depreciation and massive unreliability
Seems like this is the largest in the segment. If space and usability is a priority it might fit the bill even if it depreciates a bit more than others.
@@yesmikedanger Exactly, not to mention, a lack of digital gauge cluster in higher trims in 2022 is just not good. Almost every automaker has started to offer them, I mean, a midterm Sonata has one 🤦♂️🤦♂️. Chevy needs to up their interior game.
On paper we liked the new Pilot. But after driving both it was the Traverse by a mile. It's more comfortable and drives nicer on real world roads. So, I'd suggest you go out and drive them instead of relying on the opinion of others.
We were close to getting this car but unfortunately Chevy dealers have terrible service (shout out to Team Chevrolet in Las Vegas). It’s not even worth buying a car at Chevy because their always changing warranty policies/agreement are a pain in the butt. Just about to dump our current Colorado because we can’t deal with their customer service anymore
I agree, not a bad looking SUV but gas millage is average. I still like the look of the Telluride the best. For efficiency I would go with the Highlander hybrid.
Great Review Mike!! However if you cross shop the Traverse with any other 3row, you'll quickly realize how awful and dated it actually is. It's big for sure but it's a generation behind.
GM makes cheap interiors ... just to differentiate from Buick/GMC/Cardillac brothers .... the reason for it to stay as a rental !!!! GM - official rental car company .
I cant believe they are still making this pile of garbage. Had an ‘08 and after only owning it for a year I traded it for a ‘11 Honda Pilot. I had so many issues with the traverse; a coil went bad, water pump had to be replaced , Interior buttons started to fade, battery died and all with less than 20k miles. Honda Pilot has 143k and going strong.
Looks like a 2010’s Audi from the exterior, in a good way. Dislike the interior, really dated, rental car quality. Overall it’s better looking than it’s bigger Tahoe stablemate.
Had an enclave poorly made especially the interior with cheap plastic any own be prepared for all the lights to come on wouldn’t be able to no than 50 per hr ends with a trip to the dealer
Probably the least interesting SUV in the already not interesting class, As good as this car is, there's always a better version of this looking at other brand, you want something practical, and spacious like this? You could get a better looking Telluride and Palisade,or Pathfinder, you want a better interior? Again Telluride, Palisade, and CX-9, you want something that kinda good to drive? ford explorer and CX-9, its just okay at everything, and every single competitor is better at something than this if not all
@@tactical_mortician not really, and if it is, it's only a bit better to ride, but you have to live with that lifeless look, boring to drive , bad interior being
@@ezrapardede1921 I can agree that the interior is not the best, but like he said it's good where it needs to be. The biggest thing is they do the best at blending the dash with the screen. This trend of having a tablet sticking out of the middle of your dash has got to stop now, it looks terrible. Exterior, like all things comes down to preference. I think the Traverse looks better than both the Telluride and Palisade. Maybe not quite as sporty as the Explorer or CX-9. The Traverse also has the better powertrain. It's also faster than all the other cars mentioned. Unless you're getting the ST Explorer.
@@tactical_mortician i get your point, although when it comes to look, you're a minority in that part lol, why i seems like putting hate so much on this car is, it seems like Chevy played way to safe with this car, when the competitor have something more interesting, to the point of this is just not appealing enough for me atleast, Ford also seems to play way to safe to the point of being boring and not interesting (except Mustang, Bronco and few other) but atleast the explorer have better more sophisticated RWD chassis that's translate to a better overall ride, i don't know, i just fail to look one small things that this have, but no other have beside the rearmost space
@@tactical_mortician gotta say the tack on tablet screen trend is bad, but when it executed perfectly it can be better than the integrated screen one, take example the Ford, they just basically make a screen and not even a dash at your view
Mike is getting so much better with these reviews! I look forward to seeing some more videos he hosts!
Thanks Kev! Much appreciated 🙏🏾

Besides it's relatively big 3rd row, this car have nothing more interesting than any of its competitors

I got the same exact one last month, same color and leather interior, I absolutely love it, it’s a really smooth ride

WE LOVE A MIKE DANGER REVIEW!!!
So do I, Trey! Thanks!
Mike is the review daddy we need.
Ayyyyy i likes that
I rented a Traverse back in 2019. My family loved the room and the engine had a surprising amount of power. I remember it having lots of road/wind noise at highway speeds. Also the speakers were awful. We could never get the radio to sound good. Ours didn’t have the Bose system so hopefully that option has better sound.
I gave it a second look…. Until my local Chevy dealer tried to add a 5k up charge and was adding insurance that we didn’t want. Ended up with a Pilot
Our guy Mike is dressed similar to the Traverse, Silver and black!
NIce review Mike - doing great work out front of the camera- KBB always has great content!
THIS NEEDS TO Be a PHEV, Plug In Hybrid Electric!
I have a 2021 Chevrolet Traverse RS and I love it so far. It's my first SUV and it's made a good first impression so much so I don't plan on buying anymore cars.
Why do automakers love to put piano black plastic in high touch areas.
Because there was a time in where reviewers loved it and called it fancy and better than the “sea of gray plastic” that others had
Maybe easier to clean, o ya no one does that anymore.
Did they ever fix the timing chain issues when you get more than 100k miles
who is styling GM interiors gosh they look so cheap and 1990 , no style the bean counters at work again..lol
Can't imagine going out and paying for something that gets
If you can't afford gas, you shouldn't even by driving right now at all, take the bus or metro.
well. not everyone wants to drive a Prius.
Any of those GM transmission issues in the 2021-2022?
Mike you missed 3rd row HVAC over head. That’s important to many.

Again , great job mike. no faults here. Super prada you ‼️‼️
I own a Traverse 3lt I love everything about it.
They fixed The Traverse. Looks good all around, it wasn’t as atrocious as the equinox but was close. The steering wheel just looks like out of the 90s
I don’t know what to do! 😢 I’ve got a 13, 18, and 21 year old and wonder how this will hold up hauling them, me, hubby and our Frenchie. I currently own a 2014 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite but the horsepower isn’t enough for us. Maybe I should look into a Tahoe?
Way to go mr danger ! Nice review
Thanks Rick!!!
This is a vehicle for people who make bad decisions. Choosing this over a competing Honda or Toyota it's only for people who enjoy rapid depreciation and massive unreliability
Or they could just like the vehicle
@@dtay8913 we all like to date the bad boy and girls too but that doesn't make it a good decision down the road
Seems like this is the largest in the segment. If space and usability is a priority it might fit the bill even if it depreciates a bit more than others.
Will Honda and Toyota dealers negotiate a deal for the Pilot or the Highlander? Chevy dealers will almost never sell this at MSRP.
@@tanayvasavada for people who do not understand the difference between price and value
Love your presentation
Man, Chevy can't design an attractive looking interior even if their life depended on it imo.
I honestly think if they had a different steering wheel & shifter, it would make a WORLD of difference. Somethin THAT small. 🤷🏾♂️
@@yesmikedanger Exactly, not to mention, a lack of digital gauge cluster in higher trims in 2022 is just not good. Almost every automaker has started to offer them, I mean, a midterm Sonata has one 🤦♂️🤦♂️. Chevy needs to up their interior game.
I hate digital gauges...
If you would keep your eyes on the road, it wouldn't bother you so much.
@@williepelzer384 Why though?
The traverse has one of the biggest 3rd rows in its class. I’m sorry you’re tall.
These damn genetics 🤦🏾♂️
Yeah, but, it just goes to show that it still is no minivan.
3:13 Nice gun box for all the future carjackings you might have driving this shiny new vehicle.
This suv was once labeled the single mom with kids suv. But now looks pretty cool. Would be nice if it had a V-8 😎
Love your reviews. However, Blind Zone assist is not available in LS models.
Thanks JK. And 😢
How many seats?
Best car I’ve ever had
Is the color of this Traverse silver?
Good review!
My wife is having a hard time trying to figure out which is better chevy traverse or the honda pilot?? I personally like this one the traverse
On paper we liked the new Pilot. But after driving both it was the Traverse by a mile. It's more comfortable and drives nicer on real world roads. So, I'd suggest you go out and drive them instead of relying on the opinion of others.
I love this ❤️❤️❤️❤️✌🏻
i feel likes the traverse was the trailblazer ext replacement
I love Chevy. So sad he leaves Indonesia.
Nice job Mike very good
mike good job!!
Appreciate that Joshua!
How did you get the sunroofs on the RS model?
You can get it as an option
Yay Mike Danger! More Mike danger!!
Yayyyyy thanks Cam!
"Good luck everyone else!" 🤣 good review
Family Guy reference 👌🏾
I'm 6'1" and I can sit behind me and fit in 3rd row
thats a good looking fascia
Brother does a great review.
This was good! I already wanted a newer Traverse... I have a 2015 I really like, but yeah... I'd love one of the second-gen ones...
2:30 Jack is gonna climb up the beanstalk to sit in third row ONLY. I said, specifically in the "THIRD...ROW..." Because you said the "T" word!!! 😂😂😂
We have a 2020 Premier It's awesome!!!
3rd row has more room than explorer and others for normal size people under 6 feet
Tasteful redesign.
Still too much chrome on the interior... but not bad.
Cup holders, awesome car so far. I can easily pack 18-20 bottles of water all over the doors
Chevy really needs to do something more with their interior dash area. Looks like 1996
Agreed.
What would you like shag carpet on the dash?
And what was so bad about 1996 ? More reliable cars than today.
It looks better than all the other interiors that have a tablet sticking out of the dash. Blends much nicer.
We were close to getting this car but unfortunately Chevy dealers have terrible service (shout out to Team Chevrolet in Las Vegas). It’s not even worth buying a car at Chevy because their always changing warranty policies/agreement are a pain in the butt. Just about to dump our current Colorado because we can’t deal with their customer service anymore
Nice, filming at MT Baldy.
No adaptive cruise control in lower trims? No go for me.
MORE MIKE DANGER!!
It needs a strong diesel engine option.
This is a car for people who do not like to drive a minivan .
Would definitely buy a Telluride or Palliisade over this, especially for the price.
What would you change?
I agree, not a bad looking SUV but gas millage is average. I still like the look of the Telluride the best. For efficiency I would go with the Highlander hybrid.
I think this looks better than the Palisade on the outside at least, but not better than the Telluride. Both have a nicer interior than this though.
@@yesmikedanger Interior design and materials/build quality. Not a fan of the exterior design either but it's whatever.
Good luck getting a Telluride or Palisade at sticker price.
lol i love this guy
That's cool it has its own secret weed compartment. LMAO
Great Review Mike!! However if you cross shop the Traverse with any other 3row, you'll quickly realize how awful and dated it actually is. It's big for sure but it's a generation behind.
We didn't find that. It was easily the best driving of any of them on real world roads, had great power, and an intuitive and comfortable interior.
Dude.. that SUV looks like an hatchback when you stand next to it.
I'd take it over the competition just for the space, except maybe the Hyundai/Kia twins
Until it arrives at the dealership I keep watch YT videos about it and sometimes several times
Really excited
is that his real name?

Go watch the car wizards videos on the chevy traverse before buying one...

Them pants are too loose my man.
