I've had a Tahoe since 2005 and just now am starting to have problems. I love the Propel gas option and heated seats. But I'm much older now and having problems getting in with the step up. I'm now looking at the Traverse, and thanks to your review I may get one. Thankyou
We had ours for 3 years already and have 3 kids and a big dog, we all fit well and it rides super smooth. We beat it up a little and have taken it to Mexico on some pretty rough roads and it's held up great so far also only fwd
My wife and I just got one! Love your review she named the car BIG BERTA 😂
That 2nd traverse is sexy AF. The body and trim all just flow together very nicely. It just looks way much better than any SUV put together. I'd replace that halogen fog light with an LED light. I knew that bumper color matching was gonna be an issue later down the line hence why I just get the 3LT. And I replace all my interiors with carbon fiber trims. To make it look even more luxurious. This is the best-looking SUV on the market. Very roomy, but not overly bulky or compact. For a high country that should've come with a powerfolding side mirror and i dont like the color matching exterior trim matching, to me i just find them ugly. I prefer te black exterior trim which is great for off roading and if it gets scratch or muddy, i can just rinse it off without paint chip on the exterior trim.
I got my wife the 2018 chevy traverse, and I honestly enjoy the hell out it. Black rims with a metallic green paint, fits her needs, mine and our daughters
any issues with the transmission?
@@retromeatball4402 none at all
Can anyone tell me what is the biggest tire I can fit on the stock 18' rims , it came with 255 /65/18? Thank you guys
I didn't really care much for the sunroof, so I got the 2018 3lT AWD, which has all of the features i want under 30 grand after tax and fees. I've been really happy with my 2 gen traverse. It has plenty of space and storage for all of my needs and wants. The high country model just didn't seem like a great deal besides the added power 3rd row and 2nd row heated seat that i can do without. The 3LT looks way much better, very sporty overall with the black exterior trim.
How did you identify the transmission leak?
nice video - -but the light placement isn't a bother. its really only a night time option. you have sold me. I had a choice between a Hyundai Santa Fe or the Traverse.. The Traverse hands down. Thanks again
Has the automatic start and stop annoyed you at all? I know some like it others hate it. Any opinion? Also, did you notice compared to the Honda Pilot, is the ground clearance the same or less than the Pilot? Thanks for the thorough review (it's helpful for dads like us trying to plan for the next vehicle).
It doesn't bother me at all. If the engine is cold or under heavy load with A/C it won't kick in or if it stopped within like 2 minutes it won't stop again. You can also circumvent it by not depressing the brake pedal all the way or by having the vehicle in L for manual shifting. But for me it's responsive and I haven't had any issues or drawbacks from it. Then again in Switzerland, where I lived the past 10 years, it is normal to shut off the engine when at a redlight and such. Regarding the ground clearance I honestly can't say.
@@HubersRanch they have a disable button on the 2022 model i think. I am looking at it now.
Stop/start is a huge negative for me. It messes with your a/c, uses your battery to keep things running, and is just annoying IMO. And I don't care what they say, starters, engines, and other components don't benefit from hundreds of extra cycles. I simply disconnected the hood latch sensor to disable it, but there are modules you can install to disable it also. The 2022s have a disable button.
I like . No problem for me
I bought my wife the 2020 Traverse RS AWD (which is the upgraded LT version, but borrows some elements from the Premiere and High Country trim levels). We love our Traverse. Ours is a 2020 and we are already over 6,000 miles. How in the heck do you only have 6K on a 2019!? :-) Also - the tow package is nice -- we hauled a jet ski without issue and we also haul 4 bikes on our Thule bike transport. Digging your videos! Keep up the good work!
We live rural, in a small town. We don't leave the town too often because it takes 2 hours each way so you always have to spend the night if you do a shopping tour. And just around town driving to the grocery store is like a 4 mile round trip. That's how the miles are so low :D
want a updated video on the car now, thank you, god bless you
I love mind as well. Trying to understand the + & - on shifter
When you put the gear selector into "L" which then allows you to shift the car with the + & - on top of the shifter. This is useful when you are driving a lot of mountain passes so that the engine can do the slowing down of the car instead of the brakes.
Hi, may we know whats your milege when your transmission begin to leak? Thanks .
I have the 2018 model.
I have 5 kids ranging from 6 to 14, they arent tall. I'm 6'3 though. I was having a hard time choosing this vehicle over GMC Acadia. Haven't bought either one yet but just really like your video trying to make a decision on one of the two versus like the enclave. Great video thanks. Any tips would be helpful on making a decision. Thanks bud!
Well they are pretty much the same vehicle, the GMC Acadia might be a bit more premium, I think it has a heads up display, fold able side mirrors but other than that same power train. So it's more about do you like the push buttons to shift, do you need those features mentioned and which ones look do you like better.
Get the Enclave. We've had ours for over 2 years and it's been perfect, not a single problem. Much nicer than the Traverse IMO and apparently better paint that doesn't turn yellow.
Does it have regular Cruise control or the Adaptive Cruise Control?
Both
I have a 2013 and it's been nothing but problems.
With that said it sucks that there really isn't an alternative to the traverse. It's rivals are all smaller and more expensive.
Reading on the traverse forums I see lots of people having issues with this generation already. 😓 My faith in GM is at an all time low. Sucks this is the perfect vehicle for me too. 😒
I feel the same way
So much that I made a video about it. Lol
Good review. It would be even better if you could mention the millage on the clock at moment
As of 12/20/2023 we are at 20'130 miles.
@HubersRanch thank you. It is relatively new, i would say.. Is there any oil consumption already?
None at all.
How about a 2 year review? if you still have the vehicle. Still enjoying the traverse? any other problems?
Yeah I can certainly do that as we do still have the Traverse.
@@HubersRanch lets do years review
Hey I am planning to get me a 2021 Lt1 with the towing package. Any recommendations?
Don't tow heavy, the transmission will get hot. Even with the extra cooler when I pull a small trailer it will go over 200°F on steeper inclines. Then again I'm in Colorado.
my 2018 traverse just died down while driving, after auto shut off the engine does not auto started. had to call tow, they tried boosting battery, which i was suspecting, but battery is good and still not starting...probably the starter is gone! i think this auto on auto off technology takes toll on starter. we cannot even shut it off.
I have the same problem now..did you ever find out what the problem was
@@keshaa2078 yeah, its the faulty starter...this auto start-stop function took its toll on starter. i took to the dealer and had extended warranty so everything was covered. dealer said its too early that starter breaks down (mine was at 115000 KM), there are vehicles with near 200000KM and no fault but you know its electronics + electrical + mechanical so anything can break anytime. btw it was total about $3500 expense including everything. i m sure you can get it done for cheaper outside the dealerships. so you are now experiencing same issue, means it will now be a known cause for Traverse.
That’s why new cars come with a warranty. Because there is a human error element and sh!t happens. The transmission leak has nothing to do with how solid the Traverse is. There is no car manufacturer that does not offer a warranty.
You mention automatic pedestrian and cars stop. How does that work ? I own a 2020 traverse and can’t figure that safety feature 😆
Sensors is the simplest answer 🙂 Basically when the car detects either (Green car symbol or yellow human symbol on dash) and the distance between them and you gets too small and the car calculates you aren't slowing down it flashes a red light up by the windshield alongside audible beeping and then it will apply the breaks for you. This to either just slow down if it notices it can maintain a safe distance or to a complete stop. I haven't tried it yet lol but It's good to know it's there because even if you are actively breaking and you aren't doing it hard enough the car will add more for you if needed.
@@HubersRanch oh ok so that’s. I’ve seen and heard the beep and red lights on windshield and yellow little person. But it won’t brake or slow down 😆 I guess it will one day. Thanks. Also I wanted to ask about your splash guards and running boards did you ever got the fix and how do they look now?
I have one but for now it is only in high country and premier trim
other trims don't have automatic breaking
That might be the reason
I have the Redline edition. I believe same thing as premier. I think it just alerts you that’s it.
it looks stylish and nice from the outside but i highly doubt its solid made from the engine and transmission
All my Chevys/GMC’s are white all of them the painted plastic turned yellow, the black fades bad they just can’t seem to figure it out or don’t care too.
I’ve got a 2012 and it’s been a great car. Mechanics say they are junk as well as all GM cars. I can’t imagine WHY they’d make this car with 3 rows of seats as you won’t be able to fit normal people in the car so it’s only a 4 seat car as that 3rd row is worthless. Personally I’d rather see a bench seat in the second row which would add a person more comfortably
any issues with the transmission?
Rear main seal leak, and they had to replace the torque converter. All under warranty and under 15k miles.
@Huber's Ranch if you dont mind me asking what was the issue with the torque converter?
When you would accelared gently at low speeds the transmission and car would shudder. There is a TSB out for that issue. First step was to replace the transmission fluid because apparently some batch of fluid they used was to lubricious, lol if that's even a word. And when that didn't work the next step was the torque converter.
I’m curious, why did you choose Chevy?
Well my previous SUV was a chevy and I had really good luck with it in the over 10 years I owned it. So I guess I'm the kind of person that sticks to a brand when he has had good experience with it in the past. Plus my wife really liked the look of it, so that pretty much settled it 😂
Huber's Ranch Haha, if the wife said so, no more questions asked
Very well said our Traverse as well when my wife saw it she just like it i mean not only like it but loved it so much..😍 that's why we got it. "Happy wife Happy Life". Were lived up North of Alberta Canada we drove 15hrs from our place going to BC and i do agree with you it rides smooth and seats are comfortable from my opinion.🙂 We just enjoy the road trip i have 2 kids and having Captain chairs configuration it was awesome.😁 plus plenty of room at the back seat just fold it.. I will start doing simple maintenance on mine too since i watch your video bro..👏🏻👍👍🙂 Godbless and keep safe.
I have a 2012 Traverse for 9years with 169k kilometres in it without issues, drove it to San francisco, CA thru Minneapolis and back to Saskatchewan, Canada without issues. I only change spark plugs and serpentine belt just for preventive maintenance. I love that Traverse traded to 2021 Buick enclave avenir because my wife told me to do so, happy wife happy life.
They don't make them like they used too.
Have you neither had this problem Shift to park on dashboard come up?
Never had that message pop up thus far.
I saw a TH-camr with that issue on a Silverado. In his case, it was a bad ground strap between the frame and body.
They tell Buick Enclave better then traverse
Have you had any problems since this review? My wife has a 2012 Acadia but the same engine and it has been nothing but problems. My sister has a 2013 Chevy equinox also nothing but. problems. And I could keep going with horror stories with Chevy and GMC
So far it's been a solid car for us. But it's still very low miles, we are under 11k miles now.
Pilot and Highlander are better choices.
Traverse is more spacious and with more cargo space behind 3rd row
They are smaller. If you can get by with a Highlander, you probably don't need a 3-row SUV at all.
Traverse is junk . We traded for toyota highlander
All Chevy dealerships are the same way…. Unreliable
Beautiful truck tho!
This guy is using Tom Tom,🤣 instead of built in Nav or android auto. This should be outlawed.
Don’t mess around! Buy a Toyota!
The third row on the Highlander is a joke.
That’s not bueno lol 😂
Chevy is just crap bro. i have a 2014 with 90 k and everything just started to fall apart. Ac shock radio TC acting up windows not working inside is falling a part is just craop. I have a NIssan Altima 2013 and a corola 09 never had a problem never bouth have more than 200k never again an american car never
