I never understood why car makers don’t give bench/ captain chair option on all trims??!! What if I want RS with bench!!?? Do it like Honda Pilot did, removable 2nd row middle seat to make captain chairs or leave it as bench! 😵‍💫

[@rockerdriver]

The removable middle seat is actually what sold me on the new Pilot. This is tempting but I’d be a fool to trade my Pilot in for this. GM vehicles are like beautiful high maintenance women.

[@sheikh711]

@@rockerdriver How do you like your new pilot? Does it have a quiet cabin? And how’s the power and mpg in real life? I actually sold my 2013 Pilot but didn’t get into another pilot, wanted to see my options first.

[@rockerdriver]

So far it’s awesome. The only issue really is the small nine inch screen on the top end versions.It appears that hasn’t changed. The power is plentiful. It’s quiet and rides very smooth. I bought it in June 23 and I’ve already put 25K on it! That included two cross country trips. It has averaged 25 mpg so far in pretty mixed driving and I stay around the speed limit.

[@justinsalazar9070]

I bought a Silverado with the new engine, been across Texas and Colorado so far just hit 14k miles and through hills and all it’s been a joy to drive. I use supreme at pump and keep her maintenance on point. Pretty simple honestly. Time will tell. I really don’t want to put down other companies to each their own, every brand has a few lemons

I have a 2019 Chevy Spark. I love her so much. She's so reliable. I don't put the love & money into her like I should & she's still in great shape! The only car I will ever purchase brand new is a Chevy... They're made very well & the only make that I trust!

[@JBanks-sm2mh]

Had a 2011 Traverse, perfect size for the family I’m told but hard to say for sure since it spent more time at the service center than in my possession. As tempting as this new model is I won’t get burned again, avoiding the Traverse at all costs.

[@rockerdriver]

That’s my primary concern also. It sure is tempting but it’s from GM. The first four vehicles I owned were from GM. Let’s just say I’ve learned my lesson.

[@bas4903]

​@@rockerdriverfinally!😂

[@PatrickJTezak]

Those early version Traverses were known for issues but the last few years have been better. There are people that love one manufacturer and hate others so if you like something, do your own research and forget others opinions. I just hit 150,000 miles in my 2015 Equinox and of course I have put some money into it but most cars will cost you something extra after 100,000 miles. Even my 2 Toyotas gave me issues and I got rid of them at 180,000 miles.

I'm sooooo disappointed in the sante fe, I was hours away from purchasing. Great job guys🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mark8684]

The Santa Fe is MUCH smaller than this Traverse. There in different classes altogether.

[@dougclendening5896]

As this segment's third row seating competition starts to heat up, you shouldn't be measuring the third row seats legroom with the second row all the way back. That's unfair because it looks like this car's second row go back farther than most. You should put the second row seats back a set length from the first row every single review and then measure the third row seats leg room to the second.

[@plmn93]

And also seat height. When I sat in the new Pilot I couldn't believe how low the seats were to the floor. At 6'3" in the front passenger seat my thighs didn't touch the seats because my knees were in the air. Instant dealbreaker that no reviewers ever mentioned.

[@gk9417]

Scared about the 4cyl in a big vehicle 🤷✌️🇨🇦

[@kennyeubanks6089]

Yea, it’s less than the I-Force Max that the Highlander has. That one is 362 hp and 400 lb.-ft torque.

[@rockerdriver]

As long as you know how to properly care for a turbo engine and don’t do anything heavy duty like towing at its maximum weight the engine should do all right. Personally though I prefer a good old fashioned naturally aspirated V6 or V8.

[@hellkitty1014]

Long the comfortable, big jelly-bean of the class, Chevy obviously was tired of this being the "ok" option of the class. They really did a phenomenal job on the design, which is tricky because Chevy had to bridge a very thin thread on injecting sporty design but also not offend the core audience of who would by this vehicle. I LOVE the quasi-shrunken Tahoe/Silverado styling overall. The interior no longer feels like a penalty box(although aside from the larger screens, I wish Chevy would've gone even further. This is why Ford gave the Explorer and Aviator completely different themes, something GM should've done with the Traverse while also protecting the upper-crust Acadia)especially considering the environment of the other big CUVs of the class like JGC Summit, Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, and Mazda CX-90, but it is super spacious with all of the required technology. While the reliability is still up in the air on a new platform, I think Chevy has a hit, especially considering the markups I'm seeing on Toyota Grand Highlanders. Just a couple of concerns for me: While I do appreciate more power, a 19/24 MPG is about what the new Ram Hurricane I-6 offers...on a full size pickup. Downsizing doesn't appear to have done the Traverse any favors. I also believe that is behind the more powerful and equally big Toyota GH HybridMax. I also believe Chevy should've at least considered bringing back the Premier variant, as many buyers would prefer the luxury without the RS's blacked-out theme(and red accented interior, mandatory)....and w/o the GMCs price tag.

[@G-Rated]

-Why would Chevy need a Premier trim when they have the upscale RS? These manufacturers are doing sporty blacked out trims because that’s what people want. Why “go further” with a Traverse RS from Chevrolet that’s not even a Premier or HC, when there are a total of 3 other models whom ALL of which sit above this Traverse within the parent company’s portfolio? (GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, Cadillac VISTIQ). -The Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, and the Cadillac VISTIQ all _do_ have their own separate themes and design philosophies. I’m not sure where you’ve been, but they look nothing alike. I think *gm* has done a very good job differentiating them from each other this time around. There’s nothing *gm* needs to learn from Ford nor Stellantis, especially not in this segment. Anybody that can afford an RS can afford an Acadia if it has the interior that they prefer. That’s the entire point of offering them all with small price overlaps.

[@hellkitty1014]

@@G-Rated they need to go further/add a Premier trim because not everyone wants their interior to look like its a Pep Boys special as can appear with this RS trim. That's it. That's the story. **And yes, aside from screen orientation and slight trim differences, there isnt that large of a design difference between this and the Acadia. The Explorer and Aviator are completely different.

[@G-Rated]

@@hellkitty1014 Again as most people would agree this RS trim is beautiful. There’s no need for a more expensive Premium trim, that’s what the Acadia and Enclave are for. This blows the Ford Explorer and Durango with V6 out of the water in nearly every regard except high performance, which very few in this segment are shopping for. The GMC Acadia looks completely different inside and out except for switchgear, and the Buick Enclave is another step above that putting the Grand Cherokee and Lincoln Aviator’s interiors to shame. I think that’s why you’re really trying to pick at *gm.* There’s absolutely nothing *gm* needs to look back and “learn” from Ford or Stellantis, not in the luxury space nor the performance space. You can just hang that up.

[@alonzalbrown1883]

This is such a great and bold redesign! It just sucks that they won't be offering this in a High Country trim. I just know it this truck would shine so greatly with that trim.

[@bruce88wayne]

Dang. They really have me thinking about that thing. I swore I would never not own a V8 SUV, but it’s sharp.

[@Jose_cab]

This thing is really nice and the size is great. Trunk space is even better then my 2023 palisade calligraphy but it’s just not enough for me to like it more and I was really excited for this but don’t like the interior materials. Don’t like that it has no ventilation on rear seats and 3rd row doesn’t have heated either and my kids love that don’t think these seats will be as comfy and my palisade has nothing that I don’t like. Maybe the Acadia will be a better fit for me.

I wish they still offered a more luxury focused trim above the RS. The RS has all the features I want but I find all the fake red carbon to look a bit tacky; like aftermarket add ons bought off amazon.

[@hellkitty1014]

My exact thought! I commented the same as well. If this is the top trim, then it could offend some buyers because not everyone wants the blacked-out look and those red accents in the interior could become tiresome.

[@jakes5530]

I think that’s what the Acadia and Enclave are going for. Traverse is the “sporty” looking workhorse, the other two are more luxury focused.

What does the ambient lighting do? Is there different color lighting options? I cannot find this answer anywhere!

[@josephpayton9151]

This new traverse is nice. Especially on the outside, its bold and sporty. The tech is impressive. However the interior imo besides the tech is… dull. Its to dark for my taste even though the red accents add some flare, the competition offer brighter color options. I honestly think getting rid of the premier and high country trim levels was a missed opportunity because this already being 58 grand is already expensive so that means the new Acadia Denali is gonna be well into the $60k range especially with the interior and all its materials and features that will be throwing in.

[@TwoPair72]

Can you guys answer this question. Are the radio volume/station selector controls on the front of the steering wheel? I saw all the cruise setup buttons on the left side. The right is the phone, heated wheel and a screen switch. I can't figure out the right side silver toggle icon. The left is answer/hang-up. The two buttons above it are voice command. Some GM"s have it on the back of the wheel. With the gear selector and paddle shifters, getting tight on space.

​@@davewilson7602 Hopefully with the 2.5t being based on the 2.7t. Which is having less problems than the v8 counterparts in the Silverado. Do note that I'm talking about the DFM v8 gas counterparts. The non-DFM/AFM v8s are still proving to be more reliable than the 2.7t. But despite that, the 2.7t comes with AFM. Which out of all the DFM/AFM engines that GM offers it's their smallest more complicated truck engine having less problems than the v8 counterparts and even proving to be more reliable than their 3.0 diesel I6 engine. Which is saying something.

[@G-Rated]

There are no definite concerns, people are just brand snobs and base everything else gf of brand perception. This is no reason why this motor built specifically to improve upon the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 won’t be reliable. This 4 cylinder should be fine, apparently they know how to build them strong enough to qualify for a half-ton WT and be reliable. That should tell you something.

@@99-Zulu I agree they’re capable of making good motors, the 2.7s you are right in so far so good, what I worry though is GM behind the scenes cost cutting these because these motors don’t go in half ton trucks, so I worry these are based off that engine but aren’t built to the same standards.

Cool design until you come upon the c-pillar and back to being amazed through the rear.

Not crazy about the shark fin side design and I'd never buy a 3 row family hauler (or full sized pickup, for that matter) with a 4 banger. Too much vehicle for too small and engine long term, IMO.
