2021 Chevrolet Traverse: Towing Features & Engine

There are also towing features on the Traverse that make towing safe and easy. They include: 

• Available Trailering Package: The towing package adds a hitch to the back of the Traverse, which makes it possible to hook up a trailer. The package also includes a heavy-duty cooling system. That way, your engine can work harder without overheating. 
• Tow/Haul Mode: Using the Driver Mode Control dial, you can put the Traverse into Tow/Haul mode. Tow/Haul mode automatically adjusts the transmission shift points so you can tow with ease. When you accelerate, the transmission stays in a lower gear for longer, delivering more torque. If you travel downhill, the transmission will downshift. This makes it easier to retain your speed without heavily applying the brakes. 
• Trailer Sway Control: The Stabilitrak® Electronic Stability Control System includes Trailer Sway Control. It senses when your trailer begins to sway and keeps you safe by applying the brakes to course-correct.

The 2021 Chevy Traverse comes in seven configurations: L, LS, LT Cloth, LT Leather, RS, Premier, and High Country. The source of their Chevrolet Traverse towing abilities is their 3.6L V6 engine that’s capable of 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. The engine also comes connected to a 9-speed automatic transmission that allows for smooth shifts on Keokuk roads.
