Chevy Traverse Towing Capacity Specifications
| APPLICATION / ITEM | SPECIFICATION | NOTES |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum trailer weight | 5,000 lb | When properly equipped |
| Metric equivalent | 2,268 kg | Chevrolet factory figure |
| 2024 powertrain | 2.5L turbo | Redesigned generation |
| Z71 trailering equipment | Standard | Still verify the actual vehicle and load |
Chevrolet identifies standard trailering equipment on the 2024 Z71, but trim name alone does not replace the vehicle labels and manual. Confirm the installed hitch and wiring, trailer-brake needs, GCWR and available payload. Passengers, cargo, accessories and tongue weight reduce the capacity available at the vehicle.

2024 Chevy Traverse Towing Capacity: Factory 5,000-lb Maximum FAQs
How much can a 2024 Chevy Traverse tow?+
Up to 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) when properly equipped. That is the model's ceiling under Chevrolet's trailering conditions, not a rating every 2024 Traverse carries in every loading condition.
Does the 2024 Traverse tow more than the earlier V6 generation?+
They are rated under separate equipment tables and should not be compared from memory. The 2024 car was introduced with the 2.5L turbo engine; earlier V6 Traverse model years have their own trailering figures that must be read from their own owner information.
Does the Z71 automatically get the 5,000-lb rating?+
No. Chevrolet identifies trailering equipment as standard on the 2024 Z71, but the trim name does not replace the vehicle's labels and manual. Confirm the hitch and wiring actually installed, trailer-brake requirements, GCWR and the payload remaining on the door label.
Why does my usable towing capacity come out below 5,000 lb?+
Passengers, cargo, accessories and trailer tongue weight all consume the vehicle's payload before the trailer does. The figure available at your vehicle is what remains after those loads, which is why the door-jamb label and GCWR govern rather than the headline number.
