The 2022 Traverse has a strong 3.6L V6 base engine that can churn out up to 310 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. Not only will you enjoy a powerful drive to Virginia Beach, but you can also bring a trailer or camper along for the ride!

Chevrolet Traverse Towing Equipment

The Chevy Traverse towing capacity you have at your disposal on Chesapeake road trips will depend on the equipment you select. There is an available Trailering Package that is required to reach the 5,000-pound maximum towing limit. Without the Trailering Package, the Chevy Traverse towing capacity is limited to 1,500 pounds.

The LS, LT Cloth, LT Leather, RS, Premier, and High Country represent the 2022 Traverse trim levels. Across the lineup, a 3.6L V6 engine and 9-speed automatic transmission are standard, as is front-wheel drive. For greater traction when towing on the roads less traveled, an upgrade to all-wheel drive comes highly recommended. To round out your Chevrolet Traverse towing experience, there are also these standard and available features to consider:

• Available Trailering Package: Necessary to reach the maximum 5,000-pound Chevy Traverse towing capacity, the Trailering Package equips your SUV with a hitch and heavy-duty cooling system.
• Tow/Haul Mode: Every new Traverse has a Driver Mode Control dial that enables you to adjust performance levels based on current conditions. One of the included modes is Tow/Haul mode; when you switch into it, the transmission shift points will automatically adjust to make towing easier. When you accelerate, the transmission remains in a low gear to generate more torque. If you’re driving downhill, the transmission downshifts so you can continue at a slow speed without wearing out the brakes.
• Trailer Sway Control: Every new Traverse also has a standard Stabilitrak® Electronic Stability Control System, which includes Trailer Sway Control. As the name suggests, this feature monitors trailer movement and applies the brakes when course correcting is needed.
