Common Questions

How much can I actually tow with my 2010 Chevrolet Traverse LS?
Your 2010 Chevrolet Traverse LS can tow up to 5,200 lbs according to the manufacturer. But here's our advice: stay around 80% of that (about 4,160 lbs) for a much better towing experience. You'll have room for hills, headwinds, and those unexpected moments on the road.
What about payload — how much stuff can I put in the truck?
You've got 1,689 lbs of payload capacity. That's everything that goes IN your truck: passengers, camping gear, coolers, and don't forget — the tongue weight from your trailer counts too. It adds up faster than you'd think!
What kind of hitch do I need?
For your 5,200 lbs towing capacity, you'll want a Class III hitch. Make sure whatever hitch you buy is rated for the weight you're actually planning to tow — not just the minimum. A little overkill on the hitch is always better than not enough.
What types of RVs will work with my truck?
With your 4,160 lbs safe towing capacity, you're looking at most travel trailers and slide-in campers. We've put together a list of compatible RVs above — take a look and see what catches your eye.
What does GVWR mean and why should I care?
GVWR stands for Gross Vehicle Weight Rating — yours is 6,411 lbs. Think of it as the maximum your truck can weigh when it's fully loaded with people, gear, fuel, everything. Exceed it and you're putting extra stress on your brakes, suspension, and tires. Not worth the risk.
