i wouldn't suggest it. My wife owned both a traverse and a acadia the GMC version. Once don't remember the reason why but I towed my small 6X10 3000# end dump trailer with it. It did ok but braking wasn't great and with probably less then 10% tongue weight it squatted pretty good. I don't have a lot of faith in that engine either my wifes traverse got a short block due to a broken rod at 32000 miles, and my moms enclave the buick version got a short block at 37000 miles also a broken rod, so we traded the acadia off at 34000 before warranty ran out. She got a Expedition EL 4x4 5.4L funny thing is our mileage is the same. There are a lot of vehicles that will get the same mileage, cost the same or less, and do a lot better job of towing that trailer.
