Title: flat towing chevy traverse
Post by: Bob Reeves on July 14, 2019, 07:03:27 PM

Although I posted this in general discussion, thought I would place this query here as well.
Anyone have experience with Chevy Traverse as a tow vehicle? Am considering one. They are cleared for flat towing, but the procedure looks kind of tedious.

Bob,
You only need to psot it on one board. I removed the post in General Discussion.

Been towing one for about 5 years, no issues. Need to pull three fuses and put vehicle in neutral then go. Two fuses are in the rear seat area. A bit of a pain but works for us. Takes only a few miniutes.

For any tow vehicle that needs fuses pulled to tow, it is fairly simple to get around the issue. All that you need to do is install spade connectors into the fuse receiver with wires attached that have inline fuse holders that run through a toggle switch mounted at the dash. So when you need to tow, just flip the switches off and go. Then, when you are finished towing cut the switches back on.

I bought a used 2016 because Traverse went keyless in 2017 and there is reported a 30 minute chime and an issue with steering lock. FMCA discusses this.
