GM-Trucks.com Review: We Tested the Traverse Z71 in Peak Mud Season

[Zane]

 

Hey everyone, we just wrapped up a week testing the new Traverse Z71 out here in the New Hampshire slop. I really wanted to see if Chevy actually built a legit, winter-capable SUV this time around, or if they just slapped some all-terrain tires on a minivan.

 

We put the new twin-clutch AWD through its paces on deeply rutted dirt roads, tested out the cabin tech on 10-degree mornings, and got some hard, real-world MPG numbers on the new 2.5L turbo to compare against the old 3.6L V6.

For those of you who already have a new Traverse in the driveway—are you seeing the same fuel economy numbers I did? Let's discuss it below!
