2019 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

If you're searching for a spacious, capable family SUV without the new-car price tag, this 2019 Chevrolet Traverse LT for sale at Champs Auto Sales in Detroit, Michigan deserves a serious look. Finished in a sharp black exterior, this three-row SUV brings genuine versatility, a proven powertrain, and room for the whole family — all at a price that makes practical sense for Wayne County buyers.

About This 2019 Chevrolet Traverse LT

This particular Traverse LT carries 139,090 miles, which for a well-maintained V6 SUV like this generation of Traverse is well within the range of continued reliable service. The 2019 model year sits in the second generation of Traverse production — a generation that addressed many of the complaints owners had about the first gen, bringing sharper handling, better fuel economy, and a much-improved interior. The black exterior gives this SUV a confident, road-ready look, and the LT trim puts it right in the sweet spot of the Traverse lineup — above the base LS but loaded with features that matter to real families.

At this mileage, a buyer who prioritizes a pre-purchase inspection and basic maintenance items like fresh spark plugs, transmission fluid, and coolant will be well positioned to enjoy many more miles of solid service. These trucks are genuinely built to go the distance.

2019 Chevrolet Traverse Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's 3.6-liter DOHC V6 — a 217 cubic inch engine that has earned a strong reputation across multiple GM platforms including the Camaro, Cadillac, and Buick lineups. In the Traverse, it produces 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth nine-speed automatic transmission that keeps the power delivery relaxed and confident whether you're merging onto I-75, navigating surface streets through Detroit's east or west side, or loading up for a weekend trip up north.

This engine is known for strong mid-range pull — exactly what you need when the truck is full of passengers and cargo. Towing capacity on the Traverse reaches up to 5,000 pounds in properly equipped configurations, making it genuinely capable for hauling a boat or trailer when the season calls for it.

Chevrolet Traverse LT Features and Interior

The Traverse LT trim is where Chevrolet starts adding the features families actually use every day. Expect a well-appointed cabin designed around three rows of seating with second-row captain's chairs in many configurations, providing access to the third row without the gymnastics. The LT typically includes:

An 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, keeping drivers connected without distraction. Chevrolet's MyLink system is intuitive and responsive — a meaningful upgrade over the previous generation.

Remote start is a feature Detroit winters make feel absolutely essential, and the Traverse LT delivers it. Tri-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, and available heated front seats round out a package that makes daily life genuinely more comfortable.

Chevrolet Traverse Reliability and Ownership

The second-generation Traverse has been well-received by long-term owners who praise its durability and family-friendly layout. The 3.6L V6 is a known quantity with a strong track record, and the nine-speed automatic — while it had some early growing pains — has proven solid with proper fluid maintenance.

Common ownership notes to be aware of at higher mileage include monitoring the water pump, valve cover gaskets, and transmission fluid condition. Timing chain tensioners on 3.6L engines should be inspected if service history is unknown. None of these are unusual for the mileage, and any competent Detroit-area mechanic is familiar with this platform. Owners consistently rate the Traverse highly for cargo capacity, ride comfort on Michigan roads, and overall versatility for families of four to seven.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse a good buy?

Yes — the 2019 Traverse is widely regarded as one of the better three-row family SUVs of its era. The second generation addressed reliability concerns from the first gen and introduced a much more competitive interior, stronger engine, and better fuel efficiency. It competes favorably with the Ford Explorer and Honda Pilot at similar price points.

How many miles is too many on a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse?

The 3.6L V6 in the Traverse is capable of reaching 200,000 miles or more with consistent maintenance. At 139,090 miles, this vehicle has plenty of life remaining for a buyer who stays current on fluid changes, belt and hose inspections, and routine service. A pre-purchase inspection is always a smart investment.

What does the Traverse LT trim include?

The LT trim adds significant comfort and tech features over the base LS, including an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, remote start, tri-zone climate control, a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, and upgraded interior materials. It's the trim level that makes the Traverse feel like a premium family hauler rather than a stripped-down work truck.

Is the 2019 Traverse good in Michigan winters?

The Traverse is available with all-wheel drive, and even FWD versions handle Michigan winters reasonably well thanks to their weight distribution and ground clearance. Remote start — standard on the LT — is particularly valuable during Detroit winters when warming the vehicle before you climb in makes a real difference.

What should I check when buying a used Traverse with high mileage?

Focus on timing chain tensioner condition, valve cover gasket integrity, transmission fluid color and smell, and water pump function on the 3.6L V6. Also check all three rows of seats and the infotainment system. A trusted Detroit-area mechanic familiar with GM products can complete a full inspection in under an hour.
