As someone with 3 kids and the captains chairs in their 2019 Traverse, it is absolutely essential to have the center row be as wide as possible to make sure they get their fat asses to the third row as quickly as possible while strapping in the baby... trust me.
Oscar Lopez the Explorer runs up to over 60K, the Highlander hits $54K, the pilot hits $55K, & the Durango hits over 60K (all fully loaded). The Palisade & Telluride fo not have near as many options as the ladder mentioned because they are budget brands. You can get a well equipped Traverse for less than 40K. My aunt got a 2018 Traverse LT for $37K and it’s super niceee, has tons of room and a lot of features, never once had to take it to the shop besides getting the oil changed
@@RaitisRides joe, can the chevy traverse high country and the premiere support a bench seat in the second row, and if not, can you explain to me why both models does not support a bench seat in the second row.
We just purchased a 2021 Traverse RS. You definitely get a lot of bang for the buck. They ride nice, look good and have a ton of room inside. The only two zonks I would add is there is no way to disable the auto stop feature without manipulating the break pedal at a light, and they could add another 30-50 horses under the hood. Other than that, we really enjoy our new SUV. Keep the reviews and Twinkies rolling.
Joe: Excellent review, as usual -- thanks! The Traverse is one of the few SUVs that can carry an 8' x 4' plank flat. Although not everyone needs to carry such an item in their SUVs, I think that perhaps you may want to mention that in future tests of SUVs that have such a capability, since for some of your viewers it may be interesting.
I drove Traverse, Enclave, Ascent, Highlander, Cx9, Telluride, Atlas and Palisade. Traverse and Ascent were the most comfortable but Traverse was very loud and $5,000 more for the same trim level. We love our Ascent
Drives the car for 10 miles and calls it a review? LOL....Doesn't mention the engine start/stop has no off switch, a deal killer. This is nothing but an advertisement for that Chevy dealer.
Joe, You said the display screen opens up James Bond style, but you sang the theme from Mission Impossible..now that’s a zonk!😂..love watching your videos here in Las Vegas!
The Traverse High Country is the only crossover I'd get, mostly because of it's bold design, but color, oh that beautiful red. Or it could be that I'm biased towards GM.
Great Review! However, I'd use the Engine Cover, as a serving tray for snacks, for people in the third row! 😂 Much more appealing, than the GMC Acadia!
@@RaitisRides Grasshopper, listens and learns, from Sensei! I do like this vehicle, as a poor man's version of GM's, full size offerings! The Premier edition. Is just as nice, and save $6,000.00, over the H/C!
Sexy and sporty....absolutely love this new bodystyle. I called this the fully matured midsize suv of its class. Minus that funky runing board. The 2018 model is much better looking. Get rid of the moonroof, panaramic crap and that cheap tail pipe. Those are just cosmetic feature that i can live without. Why is that high country not have 360 camera view? No buenos. I wrap the gloss trim with custom 3D carbon vinyl to give it that pop.
i just have the 2020 Ls base model….for $30k i add $5k for accessories interior/exterior with 2” lift and all weather tire…man this high county trim is nothing compared to aftermarket upgradesd i did and my neighbor who want to buy it for $40k😅
Its nice but not 56 K nice no way I’d rather have a XT6 at that price point yea thats why Kia Hyundai Genesis are winnin... love ur reviews too name sake lol
It's a nice vehicle, I'd remove the traverse badge on the doors. I think at that price though, I'd lean more towards the Durango. I know it's not exactly the same class, but it's close enough.
Man I was literally laughing the entire length of this review!!! The engine cover bit took me out and then the interior section took me out all over again and then the drive section laid me all the way out bruh!!!! Hey I hope you do stand up comedy on the side cuz this is great content!!!! Please considering doing a video of your ten best/worst cars/SUV's/ Trucks etc and then a collection video with the worst zonks etc... Man you're the best!!!! Keep this great content coming man!!!
This interior looks old and trashy, thumbs down. I think this and the Telluride are the nicest looking 3-row "mainstream" crossovers you can buy though, I actually like the exterior style alot. Everything is blah.
@@FXIIBeaver I was talking about the interior design, not the hard plastic. It just looks dated and trashy compared to almost everything else it competes with. Looks great on the outside. Just time for an interior refresh.
Great reveiw this engine as u said is very noisy where the competion managed to control the noise much better plus the residual value of this chevy is very poor
Wow 56 grand for Chevy suv and that's based price and after taxes and fees over 60 grand il get the Kia telluride top trim a luxury suv with more options and features than this traverse and plow 50 grand after taxes and fees.
Great one as always Joe, the kid hauler ship pretty well sailed for me, they have they're own rides now...lol, but still great info. My wife's a UA-camr so I know what the watch time means. Keep up the great work.
You bet pal, wife's channel is age is just a number by Barbara Jean. It's women's fashion, she just launched 8 weeks ago and 129 subs and and vids are getting lots of views.
You've tried hard hands down for you..but man this SUV...tell the truth this video looks like a comedy..I was expecting you start laughing at any moment...but as always you did a great review..almost make me believe that Chevrolet has a good quality...
Traverse is the most roomy 3 row suv and its super quiet. If it wasn’t for the looks it would have been the best 3 row suv out there and finally GM is fixing the ugly for the 2021 and up model years. The upcoming one looks so much better. However the price is really high but remember guys GM products can be bought way below MSRP, in fact this one can be bought for somewhere around 45 to 49 grand.

Hi Raiti's. I find the front of this car too down and very close to the soil. Its possible to have a model where the front of this model is little bit high? I hope you will understand my question. I am a french speaker. Thank you
I like everything about this Traverse except the price, but then again I may be biased because I like chevy. I have been looking for something to replace my Envoy XL with a real usable 3rd row and this is the only thing in its class without going into a full-sized body on frame vehicle yes there are some things that should and could have been done better but you have to take some of the bad in order to get that adult-sized 3rd-row seat.
I’m looking for a vehicle that is reliable and also that I can be confident in. My goal is to put a LOT of miles in it traveling across the country. What would you recommend?
can you get a traverse without the 3rd row? I want the cargo room. If you want a 3rd row get a minivan. I can't stand how crossovers have adopted the 3rd row.
I would rather buy the Enclave. It has better interiors with the same features, and Buick's are more reliable than Chevy. The highlander is nice too, but the engine feels weaker and it's hard to find good leases in the midwest. GM gives much better lease deals here.
People forget this option on this Traverse. It is a Dual clutch awd system. All the others supposedly better than this vehicle does not offer that. Only system that is better than the dual clutch is suburu awd system. Also, it all depends on use of these vehicles.
hey joe..i live up in central or...we are gettin a ton of snow..get stuc in this...yep ..pop the hood n use the engine cover as a sled 2 go down the mountain 4 help/u know...should seriously think about a comedy run on t-v!!
Chevrolet smokin on some good crack with 56k! Of course Chevy marketing strategy is msrp at high price and then do a $11,000 rebate at the end of the year, Memorial Day, 4th of July etc all while you’re still over paying even with that rebate. 🙄
this definitely can’t beat with some competitors outhere! the only thing good here is the space behind the 3rd row. You never mention of any safety features on this car like Blind Spot Monitoring, Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, 360 Camera, etc. etc. is there any on this car?
OMG Joe the most Jokes in this review I've ever seen & heard before. I don't even think this is a review at this point LOL 🤣.
Thanks my man!
@@RaitisRides No problem Joe. LOL hours later.
its not a review, its an advertising ad.
I don't know what it is, but everytime I watch Joe Raiti's car reviews I get hungry all of a sudden, just can't figure out why?!🤣🤣🤣👏🏾🍿
Bennie Mangle Jr. lol I wonder why?!! I’m hungry too!! I’m craving chocolate!! But I only have twinkies! 👍🏾😩

Palisade and Telluride join the chat:
Edit: 56K? Are they crazy?
So very true Oscar!
I agree Oscar. I was thinking more like 45 K.
Not as big as either
Oscar Lopez the Explorer runs up to over 60K, the Highlander hits $54K, the pilot hits $55K, & the Durango hits over 60K (all fully loaded).

cockyhemi LOL 30K barely gets you into a base trim of a vehicle those size. Nice try
joe, i swear you have me rolling on the floor laughing sometimes!!

Good eyes!
@@RaitisRides Damm it hasn't sold yet 🤣LOL
Yes because it’s not really a Toyota if it was that thing would have sold fast.
@@OTEcarrentals True that
Anthony Garcia Toyota isn’t what it used to be
Maybe I sneezed Joe, maybe I sneezed while I was driving. My eyes been closed many a times behind the wheel lol
9:01 copyright strike incoming, for singing 2 secs M:I theme, because UA-cam.
You freaking crack me up!
Dang, this starts at 29k, 12 trim levels later you get to the high country at 53k
Smallest running board? Nah. Perfect for us Asian folks...

Great line for a car review!
Joe, you kill me. Circus peanuts! LOL!
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
I really love this used 2020 Chevy Traverse.
Brilliant job with your videos as always Joe.
Joe , Which one would you recommend between Durango vs Traverse ? I’m so confused 🤷♂️ before I practically see them in front .
I drove Traverse, Enclave, Ascent, Highlander, Cx9, Telluride, Atlas and Palisade. Traverse and Ascent were the most comfortable but Traverse was very loud and $5,000 more for the same trim level. We love our Ascent

This is my future SUV, love Chevy line...and it has everything I want in it
Same man same
I agree. The *only* crossover I'd get would be a Traverse High Country, in this color.
How does this compare to Explorer in your opinion?
that will gonna last until 100k miles.... That's a peace of sh**.... sorry, I'm telling you the truth
What does the high country have that the Premiere doesn’t?
Walking in the mid of second row is for those who sit on 3rd row if you have both chair occupied with carseats.
Thanks for that info Alexander!

Nice vehicle. Great review!!!
Thanks Louis!
You always do amazing reviews! even the cars I am not interested I review along with you :) thank you
Just get a Telluride lol
That's what I'm saying. Save your $10k and you still get all the same features and a better warranty
I totally agree with you Miguel/
AGREED!
It's a KIA though. Those replacement costs and insurance. No thanks
yes Ho Ho's and Twinkies and Jolly Ranchers nice vehicle
Thanks for letting me share it all with you Samuel.
@@RaitisRides how much is this vehicle?
Joe great review. i love your jokes about the skate board engine cover
Thanks Rich for letting me share all the laughs with you!
i just have the 2020 Ls base model….for $30k i add $5k for accessories interior/exterior with 2” lift and all weather tire…man this high county trim is nothing compared to aftermarket upgradesd i did and my neighbor who want to buy it for $40k😅
Bro you are too funny for a auto reviewer . I know Hollywood will be calling you . Keep up the excellence reviews . Peace ✌
Thanks John for saying that! It really means a lot!
Nice. I like how you explain everything and I like the humor as well. Thank you for this great video.
Do the middle 2 seats fold up behind front seats to give more room or removable?
The XMAX 300 looks sleek and practical for city commuting. Thanks for the review!
I really don’t like the traverse. It reminds me of a minivan...
AGREED!
I thought the same thing about the engine cover, that would make a nice sled! 😄
Thanks Clint for letting me share some laughs with you!
Its nice but not 56 K nice no way I’d rather have a XT6 at that price point yea thats why Kia Hyundai Genesis are winnin... love ur reviews too name sake lol

Great review, thanks! I'm sold on the Traverse HC over the Acadia Denali!
The moment you said 56k makes me go back and re-watch full tour on 2020 Acadia Denali.
Traverse HC is a better value!
This interior looks old and trashy, thumbs down. I think this and the Telluride are the nicest looking 3-row "mainstream" crossovers you can buy though, I actually like the exterior style alot. Everything is blah.
It is a family car. Who cares what the interior looks like? Hard plastic with kids and animals is better than leather.
@@FXIIBeaver I was talking about the interior design, not the hard plastic. It just looks dated and trashy compared to almost everything else it competes with. Looks great on the outside. Just time for an interior refresh.
Here's one confusion... Chevy Tahoe's 3rd row... squeezed. Chevy Traverse's 3rd row... plenty of room. A Full Size SUV vs a Mid-Size SUV. *Triggered*
Tom Tran independent suspension vs solid axle. Major difference in towing
AGREED!
So very true!
Big difference in packaging
You forgot to mention the almost same-sized Buick Enclave.
This is so true Norm! Thanks for the assist!
That price is steep compared to the competitors. $10k less and most of the same features
This is true Brian!
Hey Joe, the 2nd row armrests aren't the problem. Try doing a few less dumbbell and preacher curl reps. 💪💪
Check water pump repair. Could cost you. $1200.00 for a $100 part.
My biggest pet peeve while driving with my eyes closed is when i accidentally get fingerprints on my gloss black infotainment trim >.< !
Yuuki Joe is definitely OCD, I’ve been noticing that more and more for quite awhile
Randy Carlisle he was joking.. lmao
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
A little ;-)
LOL
The gmc acadia is from gm to, their not competitors they are really the same vehicle in the inside
These are garbage and good luck getting Chevy to warranty the piece of crap engine
I love our reviews but am very glad you don't live near me. And I LOVE this SUV!!
Great reveiw this engine as u said is very noisy where the competion managed to control the noise much better plus the residual value of this chevy is very poor
I stay with the explorer my brother. Great review Joe, don’t forget the new X5 man
Good call! Thanks man! I will be at BMW in a couple weeks.
Almost 60k for a Traverse 🤯🤯🤯
@CoaCHSNiPeR This will have almost $10k in rebates guaranteed... $48-50k with tax/plates/fees for this decked out one.
It huts!
That is a great point!
Yep
Raiti's Rides I’ll stick with the Explorer! Lol 😂
I love your reviews! They’re very informative and descriptive!
Thanks Lucas! That really means a lot!
How is driving a car for 10 minutes a review? These are nothing but shill ads for the dealer
Seems like a tall Malibu
I know right!
I was actually watching his lips and waiting for him to say MSRP $70,000.
Wow 56 grand for Chevy suv and that's based price and after taxes and fees over 60 grand il get the Kia telluride top trim a luxury suv with more options and features than this traverse and plow 50 grand after taxes and fees.

SUVs that can carry an 8' x 4' plank flat. Although not everyone the sales is relative stable
very good point!
I think it's time for a junk food intervention.
Possibly! LOL
56K for fake wood. But of course 1/2 of the year they will take 12k off.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
U can get a Black Appearance Package on this SUV
It won't help it.
@@RaitisRides True. This is a Mom Car .
Test drove one of these. The third row is tiny an inconvenient.
Nice car for Boston... cool
I totally agree with you!
I almost had a heart attack when I heard the price 56K. GM must be joking....
I feel your pain Steven!
Great ReView s...! Keep Up the good work...
Thank you for saying that Von!
Also, great review because my wife and I are in the market for a new SUV next year and this was a really good review.
it was a bullshit review----he only drove it for 10 minutes.
Ballerina tip toe haha Joe you are funny, very useful & practical review, that is why subscribers number keeps going up! thanks for the review!
I appreciate you letting me share some laughs with you Denny! Thanks for the support!
56k for this ? Nope not worth it
I totally agree with you!
Should be 46000 dollars not 56000
You've tried hard hands down for you..but man this SUV...tell the truth this video looks like a comedy..I was expecting you start laughing at any moment...but as always you did a great review..almost make me believe that Chevrolet has a good quality...
Fuck 56k ,, I rather buy a tesla
Largest crossover in the segment!

Looks like a minivan. Yuck.
I like everything about this Traverse except the price, but then again I may be biased because I like chevy. I have been looking for something to replace my Envoy XL with a real usable 3rd row and this is the only thing in its class without going into a full-sized body on frame vehicle yes there are some things that should and could have been done better but you have to take some of the bad in order to get that adult-sized 3rd-row seat.
I’m looking for a vehicle that is reliable and also that I can be confident in. My goal is to put a LOT of miles in it traveling across the country. What would you recommend?
Who would buy a Chevy or GM product honestly. Unless you have awful credit and have to shop at fast eddy's used car lot wtf are you doing
can you get a traverse without the 3rd row? I want the cargo room. If you want a 3rd row get a minivan. I can't stand how crossovers have adopted the 3rd row.
I would rather buy the Enclave. It has better interiors with the same features, and Buick's are more reliable than Chevy. The highlander is nice too, but the engine feels weaker and it's hard to find good leases in the midwest. GM gives much better lease deals here.
That is one thing is the color red on the GMC and the Chevy looks so pretty even with the black interior is amazing love this one
People forget this option on this Traverse. It is a Dual clutch awd system. All the others supposedly better than this vehicle does not offer that. Only system that is better than the dual clutch is suburu awd system. Also, it all depends on use of these vehicles.
Add stow and go
Yes sir!
I owned the Honda Pilot and Hyundai Palisade but now want the Traverse High Country 😍😍😍
hey joe..i live up in central or...we are gettin a ton of snow..get stuc in this...yep ..pop the hood n use the engine cover as a sled 2 go down the mountain 4 help/u know...should seriously think about a comedy run on t-v!!
Does the 2020 still have the 2 tone tan and black leather package? That may break up that shiny gloss in the middle.
If we're talkin Chevrolet and High Country it's got to be a Silverado for me. Awesome review Raiti!!
Which 2020 3-row traverse do you think is good for family for city and your rides?
Once again nice work like always Joe. Can You do a Review of the 2020 Traverse Premire Redline Edition?
Chevrolet smokin on some good crack with 56k! Of course Chevy marketing strategy is msrp at high price and then do a $11,000 rebate at the end of the year, Memorial Day, 4th of July etc all while you’re still over paying even with that rebate. 🙄
This is so true Mauro.

Yes there is on this Traverse.
Like it a lot
SUV for Boston.... cool dude.
Thanks Fernando!
This or the Acadia Denali AWD w/ the ultimate package?
So...56k for AWD, two moonroofs, and 310 HP...?
