We just bought a 2018 Traverse a little over a week ago. We had been trying to decide between a Traverse or another Tahoe. I had a 2012 with bench and 3rd row and honestly the 3rd row in the tahoe was way too small for any of my teens to sit back there(we are all 5'8"+. And putting my 3yr old back there was a pain. I knew from watching your videos that the Traverse was the biggest mid size and really wanted that better gas mileage if we could fit. I have 2 teens and a 3yr old at home but also need an extra seat if my adult daughter ever wants to go somewhere with us occasionally. Under $25k was my budget. I was shocked at the space our High Country Traverse with buckets has. You can truly fit 6 adults fairly comfortably. It's not a pain to put my toddler in that 3rd row. My teens love the buckets. It's also easier to bucket my toddler in a bucket vs bench. The interior of the High Country is what sold me. It's just beautiful. The trunk space with the 3rd row up is even bigger than what our 2012 Tahoe was. And I am getting almost 23mpg vs barely 18mpg at times I was getting with the Tahoe. And I am excited to see how I get when we do a long interstate drive!
Love the upgrades on the 2024 Traverse! And I think we all know you probably had a little influence on those middle headrests Kelly 😉 from watching all your videos I know you're thrilled. Maybe next they will add their window screens. I prefer tinting tho really. We even chose to tint the sun and moon roofs on our Traverse. Highly recommend that!
A little long but thought I'd share our recent experience for anyone trying to decide between a Tahoe and Traverse
Ive seen alot of videos of the 2024 traverse but this video is by far the only one who shows a/c vents for the rear the others dont touch on itat all great video👍👍👍
Us mommas wanna see if a wonderfold wagon fits!! I can imagine it standing upright in that trunk space
I love ❤️ this channel, a real mom who loves babies.
We need more moms like her in the world.
My wife popped 5 babies and is enjoying her 2nd Traverse.
First one is with teens now.
This had me at car seat tilt
Wonder why they designed that rear side window in that shape. Its different but not sure if I like it. Everything else looks great. I have an explorer now and think I want the grand highlander next.
I must really love cars to end up on a car mom channel.
exact reason why i had to go with the lower trim level with my 2024 traverse because i wanted the bench seat. I wish they had more options with it!!
Kelly, I read somewhere a while back that car seats in the middle row must be installed with the seats slid all the way back. Is that something you recommend?
As someone who’s family owned both generations of the traverse and going to get the 2024 traverse, this is a win.
What has your experience been with having to get traverses fixed in spending time in the shop ? I seen so many Traverse owners complaining it was always one problem after another so even though it has the space for for car seats which we need and the child-friendly tilt it's been off of my list what we may possibly buy in the coming months. Are they really terribly unreliable or is it hit and miss?
Yes, I echo the commenter above me. What’s your experience been with the travers?
Any problems in the last few generations
@@tovyaweissberg47 I never owned a 2nd gen but i still drive a 1st gen 2014 model. I've had no issues with the engine or transmission. I stay on top of my service and never skimp. Most of the owners I've spoken to who had a failed timing chain were doing extended oil change intervals. I do every 5k miles with full synthetic oil, no issues. Every owner I've spoken to who had transmission issues, same result, they listened to the dealer when they told them it was "lifetime fluid" and never changed it. I do a drain and fill every 25k miles. I'm at 171k miles and it shifts just fine. In 10 years these are the major repairs I've had outside of basic maintenance and small things like a bulb here or there. Water pump at 80k $750, a heater hose at around 100k $900 and an exhaust leak at around 125k $1100. $2750 isn't chump change but that's in 10 years on a daily driver.
@@tovyaweissberg47 I bought a 2012 Traverse brand new and I'm still driving it. Not once has it been to the shop. I'm a cheap guy except when it comes to maintaining my vehicles.
How is the interior spacing in 2nd, and 3rd row compared to the VW Atlas and Toyota Grand Highlander??
The color is really very beautiful, but I also like your reviews of the car in general, especially the interior of the cabin in front
That is my biggest complaint with any vehicle... why does meaning I want a higher trim mean that I have to lose the option to have an extra seat (bench seat vs captain). I want a bench seat but still the top trim.
I'm a wheelchair user and the Chevy Traverse is my only option for a modified vehicle that's not a minivan. I'm picking up my 2023 3LT tomorrow. I love everything about it, but I SO wish I had the newer infotainment screen!
Great review!
Love the color red and black looks ok
The CRAZY thing is I also have four kids with an Enclave and am an absolute master at installing car seats and know everything Kelly is/will go through. The addition of the 3rd row access to both Captain's chairs this year is huge for the platform (Traverse/Acadia/Enclave). Even crazier is Tahoe/Yukon doesn't have even one. Game changer and am excited to upgrade to the 2024/25 in about 7-9 months.
Do you think the middle seat in the third row could be used with two narrow high back boosters on either side?
Could you add how an adult fits in the back row? My four boys aren’t far away from being out of boosters and I’m starting to dream about life after a minivan.
Can we get a comparison of this and the grand highlander
I've done some research and the Traverse is bigger, but not by much. Traverse is wider but about the same length as the Grand Highlander. I've taken both for a test drive and the Traverse handles and rides more smoothly. Although you still can't beat Toyota reliability.
My family had a 2011 traverse. We owned it up until nov.2023 until the timing chains went out at 244k miles
Is your lens dirty? There is a weird fog.
how is the cup holders in the 3rd row?
I LOVE my 2023 Redline Traverse, but I can't say I don't lust after that new infotainment screen! 😆
What sort of suitcases can you fit in the trunk? With third row up?
I own an older Traverse. We take a 10 day cruise every year with two other couples and always park at the airport. So with 6 adults and all of our luggage, it does work. For adults a short trip in the 3rd row is okay, but you wouldn't want to sit back there for too long. The new Traverse is even larger than my generation of Traverse so luggage won't be a problem.
Very nice. I'm not in the market for a new vehicle but I might buy this one if I were. Kelly you already have your hands full with 3 children but you really will with four. But I bet you juggle the chaos well tho.
Does it have a spare tire?
I hope the Arcadia Denali has rear window shades!
The blind spot on both sides looks crazy big now?
I bought a Traverse brand new back in 2012 and have been very happy with it. I'm considering buying the 2025 Z71 model. My reason for waiting is to see how well the all new 2.5 liter turbo engine holds up in 2024.
Already ordered one but would still Love to see a test drive etc.
Test drive? Why is that important? Its all about how it looks not how it drives. Didn't you see the display when she turned on the car? Felt like I was at the movie theater. So boujee! Or the 50 different ambient lighting colors to choose from. Sold on bells and whistles, meanwhile they took out the V6 and sold you a glamoured up 4 banger and increased the price.
Car Confections on CZcams recently uploaded a test drive video and they touch on a lot of important factors if you’d like to check that video out!
Wait at $55k, no sunshades?
Ouch, maybe at mid-cycle refresh
Plus that 3rd row window design is a rough one to swallow
Any thoughts on the reliability of this model? Looking for a mid size SUV that could last 6-8 years. First preference is High Lander or Palisade but this looks impressive.
We ordered a Highlander platinum last year with the option of cancelling anytime because delivery isn't until sometime in 2025. We did cancel and are now interested in the Z71 Traverse. I own an older Traverse and it's never given me any problems but we'll wait a year or two before buying the new model to see how well the 2.5 liter turbo engine and 8 speed transmission work out.
If you are concerned with reliability, don't buy a first year redesign
looks great, hopefully it comes to Mexico soon
This model looks tough finally!! Also I make car decisions off the latches at this season of life
You killed this Kelly! Hiding the Christmas presents 😂
Just booked RS model
Car mom!!!! Where is our 2024 GMC Acadia review?!
Do any trim levels of the new Traverse have a HUD?
Gmc acadia
Wow seriously no HUD in 2024? Won’t buy without a HUD. Unfortunately Acadia doesn’t look as good. Silly games with the trims and gmc vs Chevy
@@Daniel-co9ke Gotta give u reasons to "upgrade" to the GMC Acadia or Buick Enclave as the Chevy is the cheapest of the three
It’s nearly perfect but it’s a huge miss without the rear window shades. Probably a small cost savings they thought they could get away with. Still haven’t seen any driving reviews of the new powertrain though.
IMO go LT with AWD, blackout, moonroof and entertainment packages. All for $50ish K. Add imitation leather for another grand if you prefer. Similar to a RS but less expensive with cloth seating. It also has 20s instead of 22s. More cushion for comfort.
It replaces the red interior pieces with grey.
U need an Escalade now Kelly 😂😅🎉
my friend's daughter just turned 34 and she just had her 7th baby last month. they never go out with all of the kids in one car or SUV because none can seat more than 7 kids + 2 adults. :) They are actually looking into a 15-passenger van right now. :) (the kids range in age from 1-month-old to 12)
That's quite a story
@@NWI_Steel oh.. not even close. she plans to have more babies.(possibly 10) :( Then again, who am I to judge if she can afford to have 10 kids, right? :)
I'm so upset that the Traverse has such a bad reputation when it comes to reliability because we need something that fits 4 car seats and the child seat friendly tilt makes it more practical than the other mid-size SUVs... but why are there so many unhappy Traverse owners of the previous gens, are they really riddled with one problem after another ?
I LOVE our 2023 Traverse. Zero issues. It honestly drives better and smoother than our 2019 BMW X1. When looking at the midsize cars I was more concerned about the reliability of the Telluride.
Ive been hearing a sea of mixed reviews. I think it’s really hit or miss. Seems like there’s many lemons compared to their competitors. I wonder if it’s after a certain amount of miles/kms it starts to go. That’s my main concern as well. The 24 travers is on the top of my list but this issue worries me immensely given the price
I had a 2019 Chevy Traverse and had zero issues.
It’s mostly the first gen that’s really bad, the second gen is better but this has a new engine and transmission and platform so it’s all in the air
2018 Traverse owner, bought new, currently at 70k miles with multiple kiddos in car seats, no issues!
nice outfit kelly
I like Traverse 🙂👍
That blind spot on both corners looks mighty big no?
No bench seat in the higher trim levels immediately takes this car off my list of cars to buy. That's stupid 😐
The fact that you can't get 8 seats in any trim it's bad for same people like me with 6 kids. And i like top trims
So glad your kids have a nice view out of the window in the third row.. LMAO. No Apple CarPlay? No Hybrid? No Spare Tire? No sun shades? yikes
People need to review the LT. People rarely buy these high end models.
What would be best for a family of 7?
Chevrolet would hit out od the park if they made that Traverse a smaller Tahoe body on frame. They woukd definitely be the winners of the segment. They are taking care so much of the Tahoe market that they are missing the game.
What’s the best way to submit a question/situation to you??
Such a shame they've dropped the V6. Even though it had transmission issues, they've should've brought back the 3800. The 4 cylinder's fuel economy is no different from last gen.
Nothing beats a Sienna van for families. The sliding doors are a game changer.
Big miss on sunshades, blind spot mirrors, fog lights, heads up display!!!! Expect these features on the highest trim level for 55K. Huge MISS. Also the third window is awkward. Whoever sits there cannot see out.
Agreed big misses on no HUD and sunshades. These are basic features available in much cheaper vehicles for a decade now. would pay more for these features but to have no option is surprising. Was ready to buy it but now forced to consider uglier Acadia just for a HUD. Silly
you are gorgeous kelly
Seems like they took some cues from the pathfinder
I like your videos. But your mic is very bad. Its painful to listen to you in headphones. Pls consider wireless microphone like dji mic2 or rode wireless pro.
To me Z71 looks better.
That's the model I'm going for. The RS is going after the soccer mom while the Z71 is geared towards men. So far the only difference is the Z71 has no electric pushbutton fold down seats. I think the Z71 is missing vented seats and a heated steering wheel. Not an issue for me. The upside is the Z71 is $6-$8 grand cheaper and comes with skid plates.
That mom bod tho 🥵
4 kids n pregnant 🧐such a hot mama ❤
She has 3 kids and pregnant. She is doing the car seat set up for 4 cuz soon she will be driving with 4 kids.
If you can truly afford to have 4 kids ($237k per child to raise from birth-18 y.o.), you get a Suburban/Wagoneer L/Expedition Max etc. If you had a couple of whoopsies and are on the struggle-bus, you suck it up and get a minivan or most likely something used. For 4 carseats, there still isnt enough cargo room to travel anywhere with the Traverse, or even to do a family costco haul. 3 kids or less though you'd be fine...
Love the color red and black
7:19 oh my goodness that is not a lot of leg room in the 3rd row. Hard pass
So sad!!! While Honda, Kia, Hyundai and Nissan continue with the 3.8 and 3.5 V6 engines, we adopt the new socialist normal, destroying one of the best industries we had. Hooray!!!! bravo!!! Lennin and his Bolsheviks
SPEAK SLOWER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks great except for the stupid black wheels that look like they should be rusting on an old police cruiser.
Not a real car. Four banger with small brakes
Car will be trashed in a month.... 50k to drive a rolling trash can. Meanwhile suckered un because of the big display and graphics when you turn on the car. I bet she owns an Apple Pro Max and a 80 inch TV. Nothing says you made it in life than a 1200 phone and 1200 car payment.
Your belly is very big and the dress is tight
