I don't know about the newer models but my wife now has a 2013 Traverse. Unless she buys it with her Social Security money we will NEVER own another one. Hers is an LTZ. Lots of nice features but rides like a log wagon. My Silverado half ton rides better. You feel every little bump, concrete joint, and bridge abutment on the road. Neither am I impressed with the power (V6) or the gas mileage. Power is adequate until you have to climb a hill. On cruise it will downshift on almost any kind of hill. Gas mileage is about 18 mpg or less around town. Not a lot better on the highway.

The aforementioned opinion is mine and is worth exactly what you are paying for it. It reflects my experience "here" and may not at all reflect other's experience "there."
