Towing with a 2014 Traverse

My daughter and son in law are looking to get a TT they have 2014 Traverse 4wd with a 5200# tow rating and it has the tow package. Anybody towing with these? They are looking for something to sleep 5-6 and no soft sides.

    Yes, it can be done. The wife has the same vehicle, and personally, I would look for something 3500-4000 lbs FULLY loaded. The V6 and SUV type unibody construction will limit your choices.


    What Ron said.

    You say Traverse has 5200# tow rating, but the GVCW will also be a limiting factor on the size/weight that can be towed safely.
