Good morning to the whole Raiti's Rides family! Thanks for checking out this first time ever Traverse Z71! Make sure to also get the full details on the 2024 Traverse RS! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hb1kpKWku7jTYH0.html

Way better than the outgoing model. Interior is much improved, love the screen and dash layout.

Chevy styling has been on point lately. Interior looks better than a Lexus

The Z71 trim on a Traverse is what everyone never knew they wanted!

I like the redesign. It looks very aggressive in this trim. Great review as always.

This redesign is much better and improved than the last. It no longer looks like a van. For years the interior was something of the past, never on par with the competition but this looks promising. Although I still see they still have the old locking system in the 2nd row and most likely the child lock in the door panel. Here they are still behind the times.

They knocked this exterior design out the ballpark! The interior is beautiful and laid out nicely! I'm glad to be excited for an offering from General Motors! Love this Z71 trim! The GMC Acadia sneak peek pics show another awesome looking SUV with a possible Z71 offering. Well done 👍🏼

Great review as always, but you lost me at all new turbo charged 4 cylinder. Everything else seems on point with this design on this trim level. I just can't get on board with the smaller turbo engines for long term ownership.

First, the Trax, now this?! This is a beast!! OMG! Everytime something new debuts, I get very excited.

Definitely like the column shifter over the push button or rotary dial. I've seen it on the spec videos of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe as well. It will be interesting to see what rolls out for 2024/25 with all of GM's sister brands.

Still don't know why GM doesn't revive the 3800 and do whatever is necessary to get the emissions right. It was a solid, naturally aspirated NOT direct injected reliable, smooth, and torquey V6. I feel like these manufacturers are asking too much of tiny 4-cylinders to propel 5000lb behemoths down the road. Say it with me, these large (and they are large) SUVs that are being powered by smaller displacement 4-cylinder engines are not going to have the lifespan that we are seeing out of naturally aspirated engines. The interior is extremely nice though and hats off to GM for it. It's gorgeous.

They will only have CLOTH Seats! I've spoken to my dealer and seen the order spec sheet (Z71) will NOT have leather even as an option. It will NOT have memory seats! It will not have power passenger seats either! I'm a disabled veteran and this is a family car that my wife and I will share...huge letdown!

Shout out to Lori Raiti. Your videography is superb! You get all the right angles, full view and close-ups perfectly! I follow a lot of car review channels but your video work is hands down the best!!

My wife really wants a traverse but wanted to wait for next gen and damn!

The most amazing thing about Raiti is that I don’t think he knows what his next sentence will be until he’s there. Bro is the freestyle rapper of car reviews.

Bought a 23 Premier Redline Edition to replace our POS 2013 Honda Odyssey. Knew there was a redesign coming, but wanted to get the NA 3.6 engine, knowing that the redesign was going to bring a small turbo with it. Plus the price was right in the mid 40s. Really love the aesthetics here- wish I could take this new Traverse and put the 3.6 V6 back in it.

Love it and I have never paid much attention the traverse, however this one will make you look for sure…. Great job Chevy! I am three time Tahoe owner I sure hope they give you first view of the 2024 Tahoe z71 and I hope the infotainment looks the same so much integrated in the dash.

Chevy is stepping up their styling game.

Chevrolet has knocked it out of the park with the new Traverse......USA !!! Thanks Joe and Lori.

I am absolutely loving that column shifter. This gives me so much hope.

I like this, it doesn't look cheap.

Definitely what I have been hoping Chevy would do with the Traverse! The only feature I hope Chevy will add in the future is a 4x4 version of the Traverse Z71 in the future. If or when Chevy does that, that would make it the "perfect sauce" "off-roady" mid-size SUV. Thanks Joe for knocking it out of the park with this video! Keep your excellent review videos coming!

my favorite part of every show is . . . . "to the door panels !"

I guess I'm old school because this is what they should have done with the blazer, good review as always and it looks good but I'm feeling really indifferent about the Traverse 😂😂😂

This is the trim to get. It looks amazing, in and out.

Hey Jor! Great job 👏 thanks. One question. Do other usual Traverses coming up with this restyled body and interior in 2024 ?

Right off the bat Joe’s the best

Love the redesign. Some say the lack of a naturally aspirated V6 is the reason they wouldn’t buy it. I say it couldn’t be any worse than what they are replacing it with. The 3.6 liter V6 engine. They are notorious for having timing chain problems & timing guide problems.

Joe- a quality and professional review. Well done ! Love the interior and exterior. Fresh updates. The turbo 4 is a potential head scratcher. Looking forward to seeing/hearing when you go On Throttle. Maybe you do an On Throttle with a trailer hooked up the this new Traverse.

Redesign looks cool has sharper lines the silver pops on this vehicle and the interior is nice!

Dang…. I was thinking in 2024 that I was was set on only having to choose between a Pathfinder Elite or Pilot Elite…. …. And then this clip. 😂😂😂😂 #NowThereAreThreeToChoose Thanks Raiti for the great information!!

Im not gonna lie, they killed it with this one....

What the heck is going on here?! With this being 2024 im sure chevy wanted to suprise us! Im sure it'll be hitting dealerships soon Joe! This makes me curious whay the refreshed Tahoe and Suburban are goin to be.

Massively improved over its predecessor. And yes, I like it a lot more than the Pilot. Touchscreen, switchgear, ergonomics and exterior design are all super nice, and of course class-leading spaciousness. Can't wait to see how the other trims look.

15:03 this secret location must be on the surface of the sun if it’s that hot in there🤣

Only thing I can suggest on the Traverses is...they need to make the rear hatch window open independently of the full open. Sometimes you just want to put something small inside instead of having to open the full hatch,

I can't wait to see the cost. I was sold on the Grand Highlander, but my only complaint is that Toyota could have done a little more for 60k. The interior of this Chevy is what I except to see on a vehicle in that price range IMo... If the price is right, I might be willing to gamble on the reliability.

Thanks for the excellent presentation. Lori excellent cam work ❤❤

THAT COLOR IS THE BEST ON THE Z71 TRIMS FOR EVERY MODEL!! I AM IN LOVE JOE

Manual control for the passenger is a zonk, rear wiper is a zonk also. I would definitely pick this over the Explorer. The style is nice and the interior also. Finally all LED head lights and tail lights. These will sale good over the competition.

Another great overview, looking forward to the first drive review! Love the tougher looking exterior and that the Z71 package actually adds some off-road capability! Interior looks very modern as well, but not a huge fan of the red accents. With the release of the new Traverse, I wonder if the new Acadia will be rolled out soon as well. Will be curious to compare the two.

Such a sexy vehicle. Chevy is killing it.

My wife hasn't wanted another suv since 2004 gmc envoy 4.2l. It's got bigger tires and a not a uni body with a leveling kit. But for the first time ever she's interested about this one. Finally a good looking suv that's got potential. She said maybe. That's a huge improvement.

It seems a lot of manufacturers are removing V6 engines and putting 4 cylinder turbo engines. I will wait to see how this new engine holds up.

As a current Traverse owner, I was looking forward to this. But I think the new Landcruiser is going to be my next purchase. If GM wanted an offroader they shouldn't have wasted the Blazer badge.

Where its the battery located ? I hate that my 2016 traverse had the battery under the 2nd row seat

I got a ZONK big time The fact that it has a column shifter and not a shifter between the seats. You can't consider a vehicle off-road if you don't have a shifter, come on Chevrolet

I've always like the Traverse except for the front end design. Love this one though. Will get serious consideration for our next vehicle!

I'm digging this. Not a fan on the tiny engines though.

That's what the Blazer should have at least been when they brought it back.

Man I am loving the new look with the Traverse! Looks way better than the 2023 model!

Looks good, way to go Chevrolet! PS and Joe!

I really like the styling but concerned about reliability.

I currently own a 2019 Traverse that I LOVE. This 2024 has definitely caught my attention. I am looking to purchase a new SUV soon. I want to see how the 2024 Traverse compares with the 2024 Palisades.

It already feels like the facelifted current-gen Traverse has just gone on sale and we're already talking about the fully redesigned Chevy Traverse. I'm not too sure about the design of the C-pillar where you see the body color cutting into the rear quarter window. That kind of design cue reminds me of the Kia Sorento but on a more noticeable scale, which isn't a bad thing per se. But I think the Sorento does a better job with this trim because, in all of Kia's models, there's some form of silver trim (black trim if you go for the blacked-out package), that's uniquely placed somewhere on the car. I'd have to see the new Traverse in person to get a better opinion of the design. But up front, I definitely get new Chevy Colorado vibes and that is really cool to see since the Traverse is basically the SUV version of the Colorado. This means, there could be a redesigned GMC Acadia in the works.

This truck is truly a game changer!!!!! Love the cargo space with the spare tire underneath..

Really nice! I do have concerns about that visibility in the rear quarters, not to mention a 4-cyl for a three row SUV, but I'm looking forward to the pricing to see if it remains competitive with its rivals.

Double upload for a Monday morning :) this one is beautiful as well.

I love traverses very roomy n stylish the 2024 out did the traverse line with the big infotainment screen i love how it looks inside the outside looks lovely on the rs with the glossy shined up paint all the way round the traverse i dont like the z71 lacking some of the great features like the control buttons to let the back seats up or down come on chevy and i love my v6 engine i think chevy traverses need a v8 engine who wit on on that lol n i think all chevys except ls trim should have all the specs including 22in rims overall good job chevy traverse im on my 3rd traverse n im getting tempted looking at this 2024 traverse

Joe, man I love it! I know the Z71 model in the Traverse is going to literally break the bank. It’s going to easily be beyond $60k. I hope I’m wrong but I’m a huge fan of its brother if I’m not mistaken being the GMC Acadia which I’ve been dead set on getting for a while now but this Z71 Traverse if priced within reason and reach has changed the game! Man I absolutely love it! In fact I’d prefer it over the Tahoe because it’s easier to drive and far more nimble! Do you have any idea roughly as to when you’ll have in hand to hit the throttle real time? One more quick question. The Acadia has the AT4 but from what I’ve researched is just appearance. This is the real entire deal. Will GMC end up offering the Acadia with the refreshed suspension and off-road tires or basically the equivalent? If they do or don’t what do you think? Traverse or Acadia? The Acadia appears to be a tad slimmer and in my mind I’m thinking a more nimble ride and handling. Do you mind letting me know your thoughts if you have the time? My best to you and Lori. Kashton

that 3rd row is something I wish my family had back in the day lol, great work as always Joe and Lori!

I'm SO GLAD they brought the TRAVERSE lettering down on the door. I hated that on the prior versions.

I own a 2012 Traverse. Bought it brand new for $46,000 and it's never been in the shop except for oil changes. I really like how far they've come with the 2024 Traverse and will be calling a dealer to see when they'll start taking orders. The big decision is I like the Z71 and the Mrs. prefers the RS. Who will win this battle?

I bought my wife a 2020 Traverse Premier Redline Edition with every option on it & I really dig all the styling changes & refinements! Not completely sold on a 4-cylinder Turbo motor but everything else is very impressive! Thanks for sharing the new Traverse Joe!

Apostle Joe, I love this Chevy Traverse I think for an early prototype I love the way It looks. While pricong has yet to be carbed in stone at this time this is a dandy.

“HERES THE NEW CHEVY TRAVERS Z71” Shows Mustang s650 in the thumbnail 😆😆

I love the new styling Chevy has been going with. I am unfortunately already feeling like my 2023 Blazer is dated after seeing this and the new Trax as well as the leaked Equinox. The only thing I don't like is the interior of the Z71 and RS look to be identical minus different embroidery on the headrest. Although it isn't a problem, that just takes away some of the uniqueness of each trim. Overall excellent looking vehicles. I would prefer a V6, but not the current one that has a ticking time bomb for a timing chain.

Beautiful truck. Great job 👏

Everything is better than a 2023 Pilot that have a interior which looks starlight from 2002. Now this is how you redesign a vehicle. This interior screams welcome compared to Pilot that says gtfo. Chevy did a good job here.

I have a 2015 Silverado HD, trading up to the 24 HD/LT package, LOVE the way Chevy does their new dashboard screens, not that Horrific square IPad looking velcro’d on screen, GM is starting to come alive with their styling, great review btw

The new Z71 Traverse looks awesome!! But........ I don't think any major car manufacturer has made a "comfortable" vehicle since the early 2000. Creature comforts. Yes. But truly comfortable??? Long gone history. Still...... The Traverse looks really good 👍😊

That's nice but it's a Chevy💩

This looks amazing! Chevy did well. This is what the Blazer should have been. But overall it will be very competitive

Thank you for being so detailed. Down to the key fob which I have been interested in seeing. Will you post an update with the prices and lower models?

I am a Tahoe owner but don’t need that big a vehicle anymore. This looks like a good possibility the next time I trade. Very nice exterior design.

What gets me is that all manufacturers are working on making vehicles bigger and more expensive never the opposite.

Love this new Traverse! Sad about no V6 though

They shouldn't even be calling this a Traverse, that's how much it's improved.

Beautiful! I’ve been debating upgrading my 2017 traverse with a Tahoe but maybe a 2024 Traverse is the way to go. This look amazing. The front is perfect. My 2017 looks like a minivan which I don’t like. The 2024 looks like a truck. The only disappointment is the lack of a v6.

Wow this is excellent! I really hope the new Traverse starts eating massively into the Telluride, GHighlander, Pilot craze. I had a long term loaner of the higher trim level in 2019 and thought is was pretty much perfect. But for some reason it doesn’t get brought up as a competitor to the others, why doesn’t it get any hype? Hopefully this gen get more love.

Joe, as a Chevy fan boy this puts a huge smile on my face. This has to be best in class and a homerun! My only gripe is no hybrid option. I bet the next ICE Equinox is a smaller version of this! As always you and Lori are the best!

More power more torque, more wear and tear on parts/engine having a little 2.5 haul that huge truck. Great looking car though

May have to think hard about that Z71 model. Styling is awesome let’s just hope Dealers don’t go crazy with pricing.

i like how theyre making it look more like a tahoe. i always found it to be odd that the tahoe and suburban were such solid hard hitting SUV's and then their midsize traverse just fell flat.

I will 100% trade my honda odyssey for this z71 truck. Looks amazing!!! Good job chevy!!!

That truck gave me a woody Joe. So GM is phasing out the 3.6 ,9 speed?

Chevy is really killin it In the car industry

This is so nice! It blows the Toyota Prius and civic out of the water!

To the door panel… ahhh. Every time .. like lightning in my soul. It just resonates … pumped up

Interior much better! was hoping for some bigger changes to exterior styling but good improvement

I've been digging the Traverse for awhile but man I wish they have Toyota's reliability.

Thanks for bringing this to us Joe. Bet this thing would look sharp in Black

Gloss back would probably work if it were made of diamond coated industrial ceramic, Hexalloy or something like that.

If the Traverse was hybridized, they would be king of the segment. Hands down.

In a v6 I’ll take it. I don’t like the 2.5.

big question is are they dependable after a certain mileage? .. if there’s one thing I learn bout American made vehicles is that they don’t typically do well after certain mileage

Nice redesign, I’m gonna guess mid 50’s MSRP on the Z71. Looks like more space then the Pilot , not sure about the grand highlander ??

I'll still go with Jeep Grand Cherokee L!!

couldnt help but notice that there wasnt a single "negative" comment on this vehicle in this review (i know you hate those thin 2nd row arm rests but you didnt say anything about them) which leads me to think you were not 100% free to say everything you wanted to say in this review. I hope i am wrong, because this looks like a solid and impressive vehicle to be honest!

This Redesign looks really Good. GM finally has some good styling but alot of people I know have issues. I had a 2019 Traverse with 23,000 miles which was a POS , always at the dealer ,electrical,trans,leaking fluid. Bought a 2020 little bigger Expedition, had a couple recalls but has been a Great Vehicle so far with No problems with 35,000 miles. This might be a keeper.
