It is built into every trim model but in order to keep it activated you must pay the $25 a month to keep Google services active. This has taken place of true, built-in navigation. However, you can still use your Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to mirror your phone’s maps to the car radio like you have been able to do in past Acadias. I hope this helps, thank you for watching!

@@CEALLIFORNIA Got it. Thanks.

No problem at all, I’m happy I could help!

You do still have access to Apple CarPlay and Android auto like normal. The $25 google maps option has taken over built in navigation though, so for people who rely on built in, this is their only option as built in, “hardwired” navigation has been phased out. Thank you for watching!

@@CEALLIFORNIA So you *Can* use Android Auto/Apple Car Play on the Instrument panel display or only the big center console (where the temperature, headlight settings etc… are)?

@zackaryhaddon5445 I know you can use it on the center screen for sure and I did have a viewer say that it will pop up on the gauge display as well.

@@CEALLIFORNIA that’s awesome 💯🙏🏻 thank you!!

@zackaryhaddon5445 no problem at all brother glad I could help!

Yeah lately last few years, the trend has been that finding models that have no options added to their trim is very difficult. Even the work truck spec, Nissan Frontier S King Cab I review had about $3k in options. It’s either you order it with no options or you go on a national hunt to find one, that’s about the only way to find one without any options. Thank you for watching!

My apologies, running on a very tight schedule this day and was trying to make sure I got everything in before sundown. Some days I do have time and other days like this, it just wasn’t in the time budget, I apologize. Thank you for watching!

​@@CEALLIFORNIAplease do a night review and review the headlights super Cruise in the rain and in fog including nighttime driving I want to see the limits of the system

I still would like to get that review in at some point, but I can’t make any promises. The business of summer has begun 😂 but I am doing my best to keep the content coming for you! Thank you for tuning in again!

I’m happy you’re enjoying your new car man. I really liked the gravity grey on this, I would get this color myself! Thank you for watching!

I’m glad you agree! I think the Traverse RS is a sweet package, really sharp looking too. But for this money I’d like to see somewhat of a performance upgrade. Thank you for watching!

Yeah the long high idle is annoying and my mileage sucks too. Single digit pulling a trailer. 24 GMC Canyon AT4X

I was referring to the 2024 model’s MSRP, as the 2025 models haven’t quite hit the lot yet.

I think I’m the only weirdo who likes the orange accents in the interior 😂 Thank you for watching!

That’s actually a pretty good deal, thank god these are starting to come back down to MSRP/reasonable prices. Even recently I’ve heard of people still paying over MSRP for certain trims so I think you made out well. Enjoy your new ride and thank you for watching!

It’ll be interesting to see how this 2.5L turbo pans out over the next few years. I’m hoping it will do good for the people that buy it. Thank you for watching!

Thank you very much for the kind words! I really appreciate it and I’m happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!

The stuff on the outside and the inside is great, but for such a big price tag, I want something under the hood! And yeah I know, pretty much any vehicle you’re looking for nowadays, if you want to get a good deal going out of state is the best idea. Things are going good, it’s been very busy lately with summer starting so trying to balance everything! 😂 Just washed up the jetski and the camper to get them ready for the season! It was a lot of work but I always like to give them a bath before the season starts. Glad you’re staying cool and I hope you’re doing good brother. Have a productive and healthy week my man!! Appreciate you watching another review!

@@CEALLIFORNIA Yeah the market was and still is super tight here for most of the cars I was looking for. Unfortunately (for me) prices have dropped so I bought high but I still love my ride. Summer is here for sure and I hope that you have a ton of fun riding those jet skis brother and stay safe! \

@@jameswalsh6131 Yeah that happened to a lot of people over the last couple years, but prices seem to be leveling off which is good news! You know I will! Can’t wait to see how warm the lake is, it’s definitely been a minute since I’ve been out on it!

A throttle body controls the amount of air that enters the engine's combustion chamber, so with mine malfunctioning it would explain why the engine was not idling correctly. Thank you for watching!

@@CEALLIFORNIA 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨

Enjoy your new car! I think you’ll love it! I’m not even a big Toyota fan and I really enjoyed my time in this car, the limited trim gives the whole car such a great feel! I liked the metallic grey myself, I think that’s the color I’d order it in. Thank you for the info on the packages and thank you for watching, enjoy your new ride when it comes in!

Understood that the RS is the top trim, but for this money and it being a sporty-minded SUV, we should really see some performance upgrades under the hood. I don’t think there’s an excuse not to at this price point. The Traverse quality inside is good, better than the Explorer ST as I mentioned, but I wouldn’t say it warrants a $5,000 price gap. Also, I wouldn’t say nobody shopping in this segment cares about which SUV is the fastest, I think there do have to be some people out there shopping in this segment, that want a quick SUV. Lastly, I think most people will understand I am not directly comparing the 0-60 of a Lamborghini to SUV’s. That metric was merely brought up to illustrate how quick the Explorer ST is compared to the Traverse. As mentioned in the video, I am not calling the Traverse slow, but just trying to show viewers what they can expect as far as performance is concerned out of either SUV, and as CZcamsrs, sometimes the easiest metric to convey that to the viewer is 0-60 times. Thank you for watching!

@@CEALLIFORNIA The only reason to choose a RWD Ford Explorer ST or Dodge Durango over a Traverse is because they’re sportier. Chevy Traverse boasts superior build quality, more upscale design, and better executed technology making it the more premium offering hence the pricing. Perhaps you’re not familiar with the Chevrolet brand. “RS” doesn’t signify any performance upgrade it’s merely a *sport appearance package* no different from “S-line” at Audi. High performance Chevrolets are marked with the “SS” moniker. Chevy customers know “RS” doesn’t mean they’ve swapped the base engine out for a V8. Most buyers know the differences are mostly cosmetic and pertains to interior materials and amenities.

@@G-Rated will agree 100% that the build quality is better, as I said in the interior clip. The UX is right on par with Ford’s and the UX is miles better than what’s in the Durango. Lastly, I know not everyone knows quite as much as you or I about Chevy or the auto industry as a whole, so I try to make these reviews very digestible for someone who isn’t a car buff like you or I, I just wanted to let them know that they shouldn’t expect a leg up on performance just because they’re buying a sporty looking Traverse. I want to make sure they know what the vehicle is about before heading to the dealer.

@@CEALLIFORNIA fair enough, just wanted to make sure you understand what ‘RS’ is and the difference between it and an actual high performance Chevy. I think you’re doing a good job hitting the main points of these vehicles and the lengths of your videos. Keep going!

@@G-Rated Thank you very much man, I’m happy to have you as a subscriber! I would love to see a V6 in this Traverse but I know that’ll never happen. The RS Blazer with the 3.6L is a bundle of fun, I’d take the RS Blazer over the Ford Edge ST any day. Thanks again for watching brother!

Even if they charged me a few grand to have it, I would still love an option to at least get a V6. Thank you for watching and thank you for the info!

That’s the crazy part is this transmission/engine still doesn’t act right after being warmed up 😂 Thank you for watching!

I totally am on your side, I only mentioned that because the amount of people buying SUV’s that don’t have kids is crazy these days. 😂 Thank you for watching!

I agree! My two favorite mid-size trucks on the market right now are this and the GMC Canyon. Thank you for watching!

Very cool, I love it! Carrying on the legacy, bonus points if you can lock down the same license plate number they had on theirs. Good luck on the purchase and thank you for watching!

It’s a steep price for a luxury SUV with a 4-cylinder under the hood, I can’t say I don’t agree. Thank you for watching!

I’m glad someone agrees. The Explorer ST is just downright gnarly! Thanks for watching again Abell, good to see you on another review! 🤙🏻

It is 19.4 gallons for certain models of the Traverse, and the MPG rating is on the window sticker at the beginning in case you’re also curious about how the MPG is. Thank you for watching my review!

@@CEALLIFORNIA not true. The AWD models have a fuel tank 2 gallons larger.

@juliofeliz9663 This was info I got off of a dealer’s website, my apologies, I thought the info would’ve been correct. Thank you for the info and thank you for watching!

100%! This is one of my favorite SUV’s in this segment! Thank you for watching!

I mean I’m not saying it’s sports car levels of fun to drive, certainly not, but it is more fun to drive than some Toyotas/Hondas in the same class is more so what I was getting at. The 4-cylinder in the Corolla goes nowhere fast compared to this. I will say, it is surprisingly fun to drive for the “economy car” that it is. Thank you for watching!

It does move it pretty well, but I am on your side. I still want the V6 as at least an option. Even if I have to drop a few grand for it, please just make it an option! Thank you for watching!

I mean for me, I’m definitely more old school, so if I had it I probably wouldn’t use it. I just use my mirrors and then the backup camera to get edged up to the curb. I think if I stare at the cameras too long it might cause an accident 😂 So for me I wouldn’t get it, I would get it without the packages like you’re saying and save a little money. Thank you for watching!

Thank you for letting me know I’m not the only one with a little transmission kick! What did the truck start doing when that part went bad? I just want to know in case it happens to mine. I’m at 50k now. Thank you for watching!

Thank you very much for watching and I appreciate the kind words, thank you!

Thank you for the kind words, thank you for watching!

This new body style is gorgeous, I love it too! Thank you for watching!

I only refer to it as such because that’s what most people refer to trucks that look like this one as. I totally agree, this truck hits the nail on the head for what a truck should be. Thank you for watching!

I think you’re really going to love it, I really liked my time in the Forte. Let me know if you have any questions, thank you for watching!

This is what Ford calls that package. I’m not exactly sure why either. 😂 Thank you for watching!

Thank you for the kind words man! Thank you for watching!

Are they actually that cheap? Single cab, RWD? I haven’t looked at new F-150’s in a while. Thank you for watching!

Congratulations! I hope you’re enjoying your new truck. I loved my drive in it! I would take this over the new Tacoma any day, thank you for watching!

You’re right on! Someone mentioned it and it makes sense, the Chevy Blazer has this feature as well. Thank you for watching!

The transmission and engine still do the same thing even if you wait the 2 minutes/let the rpm’s settle. You’re going to have to drive a 2.7L to know what I’m talking about, as other owners have said they have also experienced it. Thank you for watching!

You can find them if you go on a national goose chase, or you happen to get lucky and your local dealer gets one in. Unfortunately, most are going to be found with packages like this one like you said. But the base-base ones can be found, with a lot work of course. Thank you for watching!
