Can the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse Go Off-Road?

The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse is designed for daily commuting and the occasional off-road adventure. Regarding the latter, what features, if any, make it suitable for traveling in rough and tumble terrain? See this model at Nereson Chevrolet and find out just how capable it is as a versatile SUV.

Chevrolet Traverse Z71 Off-Road

The Chevrolet Traverse has been traditionally available in LS, LT, and RS trims. For the 2024 model year, the brand introduces the Z71 off-road trim. This version comes with an assortment of upgrades optimizing it for off-road functions.

The most notable element is the upgraded engine. The standard V6 engine is swapped out with a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four engine that generates 315 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Handling is made more manageable with an all-wheel-drive drivetrain, Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires, and a modified front bumper.

Towing Capacity

Do you have a small RV, ATV, or pair of dirt bikes you plan to tow along? The towing capacity for the Chevrolet Traverse varies depending on the configuration but can be up to 5,000 lbs. To achieve this maximum limit, you need to opt for all-wheel-drive and upgrade to the V92 Trailer Towing Package. The latter comes with a wiring harness and hitch receiver.

Payload Capacity

Like the tow capacity, payload capacity also varies, but can max out at 1,850 lbs. The limit varies depending on engine type and drivetrain. Additional accessories may also add weight to the vehicle, therefore slightly reducing the payload limit.
