Is the 2020 Chevy Traverse High Country the ULTIMATE 3-row SUV?

[@richardsternard4030]

“Up front I’m 6 feet tall. I’m still 6 feet tall back here.” Great line for a car review!

[@danaberman6929]

We just purchased a 2021 Traverse RS. You definitely get a lot of bang for the buck. They ride nice, look good and have a ton of room inside. The only two zonks I would add is there is no way to disable the auto stop feature without manipulating the break pedal at a light, and they could add another 30-50 horses under the hood. Other than that, we really enjoy our new SUV. Keep the reviews and Twinkies rolling.

[@DavidGarate55]

There is an AutoStop disabler cable I am going to get from Amazon for about $12.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

I really love this used 2020 Chevy Traverse. Brilliant job with your videos as always Joe.

[@danielsnyder2288]

I drove Traverse, Enclave, Ascent, Highlander, Cx9, Telluride, Atlas and Palisade. Traverse and Ascent were the most comfortable but Traverse was very loud and $5,000 more for the same trim level. We love our Ascent

[@stephenzungi6140]

As someone with 3 kids and the captains chairs in their 2019 Traverse, it is absolutely essential to have the center row be as wide as possible to make sure they get their fat asses to the third row as quickly as possible while strapping in the baby... trust me.

[@raydf]

Joe: Excellent review, as usual -- thanks! The Traverse is one of the few SUVs that can carry an 8' x 4' plank flat. Although not everyone needs to carry such an item in their SUVs, I think that perhaps you may want to mention that in future tests of SUVs that have such a capability, since for some of your viewers it may be interesting.

So very true Oscar!

[@kawasakiwhiptwo5821]

I agree Oscar. I was thinking more like 45 K.

[@andybub45]

Not as big as either

[@matthewlocke9225]

Oscar Lopez the Explorer runs up to over 60K, the Highlander hits $54K, the pilot hits $55K, & the Durango hits over 60K (all fully loaded). The Palisade & Telluride fo not have near as many options as the ladder mentioned because they are budget brands. You can get a well equipped Traverse for less than 40K. My aunt got a 2018 Traverse LT for $37K and it’s super niceee, has tons of room and a lot of features, never once had to take it to the shop besides getting the oil changed

[@matthewlocke9225]

I like everything about this Traverse except the price, but then again I may be biased because I like chevy. I have been looking for something to replace my Envoy XL with a real usable 3rd row and this is the only thing in its class without going into a full-sized body on frame vehicle yes there are some things that should and could have been done better but you have to take some of the bad in order to get that adult-sized 3rd-row seat.

[@GlennboiPhotography]

this definitely can’t beat with some competitors outhere! the only thing good here is the space behind the 3rd row. You never mention of any safety features on this car like Blind Spot Monitoring, Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, 360 Camera, etc. etc. is there any on this car?

Traverse is the most roomy 3 row suv and its super quiet. If it wasn’t for the looks it would have been the best 3 row suv out there and finally GM is fixing the ugly for the 2021 and up model years.

However the price is really high but remember guys GM products can be bought way below MSRP, in fact this one can be bought for somewhere around 45 to 49 grand.

Great SUV to lease or buy them used due to very heavy depreciation. I bet you can buy a used one with warranties for 25%- 35% discount off regular price. I think most GM’s are overpriced.

[@james2042]

This is an 8 seater. You're comparing it to smaller 7 seaters. The Acadia, explorer ect are a different class of vehicle. They have smaller cargo areas and smaller third rows. The traverse is actually more comparable to minivans than anything. Also every trim above the lt leather is worthless imo because of the lack of a second row bench (or even console). What's the point in a vehicle this large to just have 7 seats, I'd get a much nicer durango or explorer if I was shooting for 7 seats. On the luxury end tho for captains chairs there should be a second row console like the Durango
