From a Lincoln to a Chevy

If you have heard the rumor that Lincolns are a very smooth ride, with decent mileage and pretty good on service, you heard right. What you also need to know is that the Chevy Traverse is, in my opinion & experience, as comparable in the ride & the service, with one distinction, much affordable than the Lincoln!

After 6 months and 7,000 km, I am really happy with my 2020 RS. PRO's: Amazing amount of space - I keep the 3rd row of seats down most of the time, and the amount of trunk space this provides is incredible. More than any other vehicle I have owned. Decent economy - I've averaged 8.9 ltrs/100 km so far. That compares very favourably to the 11.7 I used to get with the 2014 Jeep Wrangler 4-door that the Chev replaced. Comfort ride - Actually, a very comfortable ride; better than my neighbour's Toyota Highlander and another's Ford Explorer. Really awesome on the highway. Also, good fit and finish. Plenty of helpful technology. Easy to get in and out of. CONS: The worst is Auto Stop. It's so frustrating in city traffic, but not a problem in the rural area I live in. The heated steering wheel gets too hot. (I'm going to get the dealership to check this at the next service.) That's it! So far, the Chev is a winner. Oh...and it handles the snowy conditions of a Canadian winter much better than expected. I have winter tires on, of course, but the roads in the area I live in are the last to get ploughed, but just switching the drive setting to 4x4 and even 6" of snow doesn't bother the Chev. I guess I'll update this in a few months. UPDATE: After 11 months and 13,500 km, I can still report that the Traverse both meets and exceeds my original expectations. Gas consumption has averaged 9.4 litres/100 km, including several long trips with a 2,000lb trailer in tow. I have become quite used to the Auto-Stop feature and it no longer bothers me at all. That said, I still don't like it! There really needs to be an override button. I bought a Curt Echo Bluetooth electric brake controller and despite my misgivings, it works perfectly. I borrowed a neighbour's 4,000 cargo trailer (equipped with electric brakes) and towed it for several hundred kms. The controller worked really well and using the cellphone app to adjust it is very easy. I would give the Traverse 5 stars if it wasn't for the high purchase price and the lack of an override for the Auto-Stop. It's comfortable, very spacious and - so far - very reliable. I totally recommend this vehicle. UPDATE December1, 2022: It's now 26 months since I purchased the Traverse, and with 38,700 kms on the clock, it continues to be an awesome vehicle. Average gas consumption has improved to 8.6 litres/100 kms. I did have to make one tiny warranty claim... The chrome strip on the trunk, between the tail lights, started to lose its coating and was replaced by the dealership. The all-wheel system works really well in the snowy Canadian winter, especially with decent snow tires fitted. Bottom line... I'm still happy and looking forward to several years of ownership. UPDATE June 5, 2023 2 1/2 years and 47,000 KMS and the Traverse is purring along nicely. Overall fuel economy has improved to 7.9 litres/100 km. Summer rims & tires are back on and tire noise is a distant hum again. Hopefully, I'll be back with another update later in the year. UPDATE December 6, 2023 After 3 yrs and 3 mos of ownership and 53,000+ kms, our Traverse is still running perfectly. Absolutely no complaints. The winter tires are back on, and while they're a little noisier than the summer tires, the ride is smoother with the smaller rims and higher-profile tires. Overall gas consumption is an amazing 7.6 lts/100 km (31 mpg), including a fair amount of towing a 3,500 lbs utility trailer. I'll be back with another update next summer.

I read some of the "negative" reviews, and feel some buyers did not do their research or a proper test drive. This is a comfortable large suv with good sightlines and great road holding. Steering weight and vehicle tracking is darn near perfect. Not too light, not too heavy. And the Traverse holds a straight line without constant little adjustments, something I found very annoying in a Hyundai Palisade I test drove. Cargo space behind the third row is good, with the third row folded, it's very large, and with a both rows folded, it's positively huge....almost 100 cubic feet. It has a real transmission, 9 speeds, and shifts effortlessly with no hesitation and no clunks. I have owned several brands of suvs including Subaru and Toyota Highlanders. Both were high quality vehicles. The Traverse is the best vehicle I have ever owned. After only two days, everything was intuitive. The infotainment/information system works very well. The Sirius/XM radio (Bose system with 10 speakers) is audio pleasure. One of the reviewers thought the Traverse was very difficult to see out of. She stated she was 5 ft 5. I'm six feet and actually believe the view out the front and all around the vehicle is excellent. I have no problem changing lanes left to right, and being able to confirm that there is nothing in the blind spot. The BSM is fine, but all of them only light up when a vehicle is very close. I can easily check visually with no problem whatsoever. Seats are very supportive and comfortable even on a long drive. Armrests are positioned properly. Remote start is a plus in our cold western NY winter, and the Traverse heats up fast and provides could climate control options. Cell phone paired effortlessly, and the garage door opener button was also easy to activate. If you are looking for an suv with a large cargo capacity, I don't think you can find better than the Traverse. You can seat 7 or 8. I have the second row captains seats. I also recommend the leather interior. Drive it and decide for yourself.

We bought our new Traverse at Stocker’s Chevrolet. We owned one since 2017. It gives us one heck of a ride! Love it!!
