Used my wife's 2007 Outlook (Saturn's version of the Traverse) to tow trailer with band gear, some extras, and luggage and 6 adults in the car with luggage behind rear seat. Trailer wieghed in at 2700#. Back end car set perfectly level. Towed like a dream. My only caution is the transmission. Doubt it had anything to do with towing since we only did that once, tranny went out 6 months later, and had also been repaired before we towed with it. I bring up the tranny issue because that year model had transmission issues to begin with. I'd make sure that those issues were worked out in later models only because if there's already known issues, then towing could exacerbate them. If there's no known tranny issues, IMO, you shouldn't have a problem. Just keep up the maintenance.
P.S. Didn't even notice a difference in driving between just me and my wife, and a full car load with 2700# trailer on back.

We own an all-wheel drive Traverse and we like the car but we wouldn't tow a golf cart trailer with it.Get a Tahoe or Avalanche is my suggestion or like us,Duramax dually for the tow jobs and the Traverse to go out to eat.

i don't quite understand the attraction some have for the Traverse as a tow vehicle, especially compared to the Tahoe.
Traverse- mpg is 17/24
Tahoe- mpg is 15/21
Traverse tow capacity- 5200lbs. with a 150lb. driver
Tahoe tow capacity- up to 8500lbs. with a 150lb. driver
the Tahoe gives more room and much more towing capacity, for only 2-3 miles per gallon less. plus it's ladder frame construction vs. the unibody construction of the Traverse.
I know for me it was the $10,000 price difference.
I didnt have plans on pulling a huge TT at the time I leased the Traverse, but it does ok with what I now have. I will be going back to a truck once I'm done with rear facing car seats, although they aren't much under the $40,000 mark these days. ๐
