Not all soccer moms want that big of a vehicle, my retired soccer wife did not. Surprisingly, there's not a big difference in price between a Tahoe and Traverse. A loaded Traverse is about $42K sticker.
Having said that, we have the Tundra for towing and the Traverse to serve as people mover. It's a pretty good grocery getter too although my Tundra will hold more groceries and more cases of beer.
I would disagree on them being close. A loaded Traverse might be $42k (my reasonably optioned one was way less), but a base Tahoe starts there and a loaded Tahoe can top $70k. Even then it will only tow a couple thousand more pounds than the Traverse. It's certainly not a giant leap in towing capability for such a giant leap in price.
Hence, when my Traverse lease is up, I will be going back to a crew cab truck with a good tonneau cover.
I will have the seating I need, much more towing capacity, and a dry bed for storage. All for a little more than the Traverse, but less than a Tahoe.
