You can drive confidently around town and say hello to adventure after reviewing our Chevy Traverse towing capacity guide. The evolutionary technology in the cabin pairs with a hitch guidance system to make the trailer-pulling journey enjoyable from start to finish. How much can you load while keeping the quality durability of your Chevrolet Traverse tow hitch intact? This Volume Chevrolet guide covers all the highlights.
The Chevy Traverse towing capacity with tow package is 5,000 pounds whether you have FWD or AWD, letting you pull nearly any lightweight trailer behind you. For example, hitch two Jet Skis to the back of a new Chevy Traverse for sale and watch how readily it hauls your summertime fun right to the shore.
Or, you can load a utility trailer with farm equipment and bring it to your next job – while you and your crew sit comfortably in an interior with over 40 inches of front- and second-row legroom.
Depending on the weight, 5,000 pounds is the perfect amount of capability to pull small fishing boats or A-frame campers. Alongside a spacious interior with impressive cargo space, the Chevy Traverse makes every vacation memorable.

Any Chevy Traverse can tow up to 5,000 pounds1 with the standard Trailering Package equipped. This towing package, which is standard across the Traverse lineup, maximizes your trailering capacity and adds a hitch guidance system to your SUV. Without this package, the Traverse is only recommended to tow 1,500 pounds,1 which is still enough for some light trailers.
The Chevy Traverse can pull some specific RV models with a maximum weight capacity of under 5,000 pounds.1 With the Trailering Package, the Traverse can pull an RV alongside the hitch guidance system and a heavy-duty cooling system. Be sure to properly weigh your RV after you fill it with fuel and before attaching to prevent damage to your Traverse.
All four Chevy Traverse trim levels – the LT, High Country, Z71, and RS – come with the Trailering Package as standard. That means, no matter your preferred model, your 2025 Chevy Traverse will have a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds1 by default. You can see if you have the Chevy Traverse Trailering Package by reversing and checking for the Hitch Guidance button on your Infotainment screen.
1Before you buy a vehicle or use it for trailering, carefully review the Trailering section of the Owner’s Manual. The weight of passengers, cargo and options or accessories may reduce the amount you can tow.
