There are lots of choices among the cheaper-to-buy-and-drive mid-size SUVs that, when properly configured, can safely tow at least 5,000 pounds.

The 2023 and 2024 list of three-row family haulers offering second-row captain’s chairs is shrinking, but it also sees a couple of new additions.

For 2024, the Traverse gets an all-new powertrain, more tech and family-friendly features, an off-road trim and a nicely updated design.

Besides styling updates, the 2024 Traverse also adds an on-trend off-road trim, the model’s first Z71 variant, and all variants get an all-new standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine.

The culprit for GM’s latest major recall involves a serious defect affecting nearly 995,000 SUVs: exploding airbags.

A new study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has revealed that most mid-size SUVs lack good protection for rear occupants in frontal crashes.

Chevrolet chose to take a subdued approach to the Traverse’s updates for the 2023 model year and focused on minor changes.
