All figures in pounds, from the Chevrolet 2026 Trailering Guide, page 41. Hitch: The 5,000 lb rating needs the available Trailering Package (V92), FWD or AWD; without it the Traverse is rated 1,500 lb. Chevrolet: maximum trailer weight rating requires factory-installed trailering equipment; with a weight-carrying hitch the maximum is 5,000 lb with a 500 lb tongue weight. The guide gives no payload or GVWR. Ratings assume a properly equipped vehicle and a trailer with brakes where required by the manufacturer.
