2011 Chevrolet Traverse LT2 Trim Overview

Positioned at the upper echelon of the Traverse spectrum, the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse LT2 sports a few extra goodies to justify the deuce. This front-wheel-drive, eight-passenger midsize crossover adds such standard cabin amenities as tri-zone climate control, 10 Bose premium speakers, a USB connection, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, additional noise insulation, and rear parking sensors to the list of creature comforts and safety equipment found in its lower-digit mate. It also offers, with the rear seats folded, the same 116 cubic feet of cargo space that’s common throughout the lineup. Added options include touch-screen DVD, rear USB port, and leather upholstery.

Again, a ubiquitous 3.6-liter V6 powers the 2011 Traverse LT2, with its standard six-speed auto-manual transmission ensuring 281 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. As is standard across the Traverse lineup, the variable-valve-timed (VVT) V6 will tow some 5,200 pounds of trailer, when properly equipped, and is estimated at 17/24 mpg.
