Which Colorado 4WD You Actually Need in NWA

Quick answer: the 2026 Traverse as a tow vehicle The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse is rated at 5,000 pounds properly equipped, and the trailering equipment is standard on every trim rather than an option you hunt for. The 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder makes 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft on regular 87-octane unleaded, which is what makes that rating comfortable rather than theoretical. It still carries the family: seven seats standard, eight on the LT with the available second-row bench, and 22.9 cubic feet of cargo behind the third row. EPA estimates are 20 city / 26 highway / 22 combined in front-drive and 20 / 24 / 21 with all-wheel drive. The Traverse starts at $40,800 before a $1,995 destination charge.

A 5,000-pound rating puts a lot of NWA weekends in reach of a 2026 Chevrolet Traverse: a small travel trailer, a teardrop or hybrid camper, a pair of side-by-sides on a utility trailer, or a boat. What it does not do is answer the second question, which is whether the same vehicle still works as the family car on Monday. Here is what the rating actually covers here, and what to check before you hitch up. The Traverse research hub has the full set of pages. See Every 2026 Traverse in Stock How much can a Traverse actually pull? 5,000 pounds, properly equipped. That figure holds across the lineup because the trailering equipment is standard on every trim, so it is not a number that depends on which box you ticked at order time. The engine is what makes it usable. The 2.5L turbocharged four makes 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft, and torque is the part that matters on a hill with a trailer behind you. The specifications page has the full numbers, and the model overview is the plain-language version of the whole car. What a 5,000-pound rating covers in NWA More than most families need. A single-axle travel trailer, a teardrop or a hybrid pop-up sits well inside it, as does a ski boat on a single-axle trailer, and either one gets to Beaver Lake or a campsite at Hobbs State Park without drama. Devil's Den is the harder run, because the I-49 grades south of Fayetteville are the real test of any tow vehicle in this region. The honest planning number is not the trailer's dry weight, it is the loaded weight with water, gear and bikes on the back. Build in the margin and a Traverse handles a Northwest Arkansas camping season comfortably. If your trailer is a dual-axle bunkhouse and the loaded number is climbing past the rating, the Traverse versus Tahoe comparison is the right next read, because that is the step up this market usually makes. Do you need to option anything? For the tow rating itself, no. Trailering equipment is standard across the range, which is unusual in this class and worth knowing before you start pricing packages on a rival. What is worth optioning is what makes the miles easier. Super Cruise, the hands-free driver assistance system, is standard on the High Country and RS and available on the LT and Z71 through the Enhanced Driving Package, and a long haul down the interstate is exactly where you notice it. The trim levels page shows what each rung includes. What towing means for people and gear This is where a three-row earns its place over a truck. The Traverse seats seven as standard and eight on the LT with the available second-row bench, and it holds 22.9 cubic feet behind the third row, 56.6 behind the second and 98 cubic feet with both rows folded. That is a full family plus a week of camping kit, before the trailer is even attached. Weight still has to be watched: GVWR is 6,173 pounds and an LT front-drive weighs 4,504 pounds at the curb, which leaves roughly 1,669 pounds for people, cargo and trailer tongue weight combined. That is the number that quietly decides how much you can pack. The cargo and seating page breaks the space down row by row. Which Traverse suits a towing family in NWA? The LT is the volume answer and the only trim that seats eight, opening at $40,800 before the $1,995 destination charge. The Z71 adds all-wheel drive as standard, 18-inch all-terrain wheels and 7.8 inches of ground clearance against the standard 6.8, which is the trim for gravel campground approaches. The RS and High Country are the equipment-led rungs and bring Super Cruise as standard. Cross-shopping? The Traverse versus GMC Acadia comparison covers the closest relative, and the Traverse versus Equinox page is the one to read if you are still deciding whether you need a third row at all. Browse Traverse LT and Z71 Stock Schedule a Test Drive Hitching up in NWA Bring the trailer and we will weigh the real question with you. We are at 2700 SE Moberly Ln, a couple of minutes off I-49, and the run south from here is the same road your camper will see, so a test drive tells you more than a spec sheet does. The 39-foot turning circle is the other thing to try in our lot, because campground loops are tighter than interstates. Ownership questions are worth asking on the day: the maintenance schedule covers service intervals, and towing does change how often some of them come around. When you are ready, value your trade or get pre-approved. 2026 Traverse towing questions How much can a 2026 Chevrolet Traverse tow? 5,000 pounds, properly equipped, and the trailering equipment is standard on every trim. What engine does it use? A 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder rated 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft, running on regular 87-octane unleaded. Does towing change with all-wheel drive? The rating is 5,000 pounds properly equipped across the lineup. All-wheel drive is standard on the Z71 and available elsewhere, and it changes EPA estimates to 20 city / 24 highway / 21 combined against 20 / 26 / 22 in front-drive. How many people does it seat? Seven as standard, and eight on the LT with the available second-row bench. The Z71, RS and High Country seat seven. How much cargo is there with a full house? 22.9 cubic feet behind the third row, 56.6 behind the second, and 98 cubic feet with both rear rows folded. Which trim has the most ground clearance?

The RS is the trim most 2027 Equinox shoppers here are driving off in. The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox RS starts at $33,900 before destination, runs the 1.5L Turbo four with 175 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic, and returns an EPA-estimated 27 mpg combined with front-wheel drive. It is the blacked-out version of the Equinox, and it is the trim we stock deepest right now. If you are shopping in Rogers, Springdale or Fayetteville and you want an Equinox you can drive home this week rather than order and wait, the RS is the one to come and look at. Here is what is on the ground, what the trim actually gives you over the LT, and who it suits. If you want the whole model first, the 2027 Equinox overview covers both powertrains in one read. Quick Answer 2027 Equinox RS from $33,900 before a $1,995 destination charge 1.5L Turbo, 175 hp, eight-speed automatic 25 city / 29 highway / 27 combined mpg, front-wheel drive All-wheel drive adds $2,000 The RS is the deepest-stocked 2027 Equinox trim on our lot What is in stock Most of the 2027 Equinox inventory on our lot is RS, with LT alongside it. That matters if you are cross-shopping in Springdale or Fayetteville, because it means colour and equipment choice rather than a single car and a take-it-or-leave-it conversation. Every one runs the same 1.5L Turbo four at 175 horsepower with the eight-speed automatic, and that eight-speed is a 2027 change worth knowing: it is now standard on front-wheel drive as well as all-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is a $2,000 option, and the full specifications carry every figure with its source. Browse what is on the lot on the Equinox inventory page. What the RS does well It looks considerably more expensive than it is. Black mirrors, black moldings, black emblems and black badging, a flat-bottom steering wheel, standard 19-inch wheels with 20-inch machined wheels available, and an available two-tone black roof. Park one next to a base compact SUV and the difference reads from across the lot. Cargo is unchanged at 29.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 63.5 folded, which the cargo and interior guide turns into what actually fits. Underneath, it is the sensible Equinox everyone already knows. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard, as is the 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in. More than 15 standard driver assistance features come along, including the six-feature Chevy Safety Assist package, which is the set that does the work on the I-49 stop-and-go between Rogers and Fayetteville; the technology and safety guide goes through each one. 400 miles of range on a 14.8-gallon tank means the Springdale commute goes most of two weeks between fill-ups. Honest trade-offs The RS is a styling trim, not a capability trim. The engine, transmission and towing are identical to the LT, so if you want more than 175 horsepower, no Equinox trim gives it to you. Towing is 1,500 pounds properly equipped across the range, and running costs are the same too, which the maintenance schedule lays out. The ACTIV costs exactly the same $33,900 and spends the money differently, on all-terrain tires and a uniquely tuned suspension. If your weekends involve gravel county roads or a boat ramp rather than pavement, take a look at that one instead. And 19- or 20-inch wheels ride firmer than smaller ones do. If you are also weighing the electric one, gas vs EV settles that honestly. The full trim comparison puts all six 2027 configurations side by side. Who this configuration is for Buy the RS if you want the sharpest-looking Equinox on the school run in Rogers or Springdale, you are covering paved miles rather than gravel, and you want heated seats, a heated wheel and the big screen without stepping into a bigger, thirstier SUV. More questions are answered on the Equinox FAQ page. Look at the ACTIV instead if your driving includes unpaved surfaces, or the LT at $33,900 less the styling package if the look is not what you are paying for. Add the $2,000 all-wheel drive if the Ozark ice storms are a yearly worry; EPA combined moves from 27 to 26 mpg. See it, drive it We are at 2700 SE Moberly Ln in Bentonville, a short run up I-49 from Rogers, Springdale and Fayetteville, and an easy drive from Siloam Springs. Come and drive an RS back to back with an ACTIV; the two are the same price and settling that question takes about twenty minutes.

By the George Nunnally Chevrolet team Quick answer: the 2026 Trax trims that share a price The 1RS and the LT both start at $23,200 before a $1,795 destination charge. The 2RS and the ACTIV both start at $25,400. Five trims sit on three price points. At $23,200 the 1RS is the style pick: 18-inch alloy wheels and heated front seats as standard. The LT is the equipment pick: push-button start, remote start and available adaptive cruise control. Every 2026 Trax uses the same 1.2L turbo three-cylinder, 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft with a six-speed automatic, front-wheel drive, EPA-rated 28 city / 32 highway / 30 combined. Every trim seats five and holds 25.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats, 54.1 with them folded, on a 178.6-inch body. The lineup opens at $21,700. George Nunnally Chevrolet stocks the Trax in Bentonville. Call (479) 319-2494. Here is the thing about the 2026 Chevrolet Trax that catches NWA shoppers out at the lot: five trims, three prices. The 1RS and LT are both $23,200 to start, and the 2RS and ACTIV are both $25,400, so at two of the three rungs the question is not how much to spend but which version of the same money you want. We keep both pairs on the ground, so this is a decision you can settle standing between two cars. The Trax research hub has every page if you want the full picture. See Every 2026 Trax in Stock What you get for $23,200 either way The same car underneath. Both the 1RS and the LT run the 1.2L turbocharged three-cylinder at 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft through a six-speed automatic, front-wheel drive, EPA-rated at 28 city / 32 highway / 30 combined ( fueleconomy.gov). Both seat five on a 60/40 split-folding rear bench. What separates them is where the money went. The 1RS brings 18-inch alloy wheels and heated front seats as standard. The LT brings 17-inch alloys, push-button start, remote start and the option of adaptive cruise control. Style on one side, daily convenience on the other, at an identical starting price of $23,200 before the $1,795 destination charge. The all-trims comparison lays the whole ladder out. Which one suits an NWA week? Remote start decides it for a lot of people here. Ozark winters run to ice and freezing rain more than deep snow, and a car that is already defrosted when you reach the driveway is a real daily comfort from December through February. That is the LT. If your driving is mostly Bentonville Square, the Greenway trailheads and a short run to work, the heated seats and the 18-inch wheels on the 1RS are the ones you notice every day instead. Neither is the better car; they are two different answers to the same budget. The model overview is the plain-language starting point if you are new to the Trax. And at $25,400: 2RS or ACTIV? The same shape of decision one rung up. The 2RS wears 19-inch alloy wheels, the largest in the lineup, and the ACTIV wears 18-inch black alloys with a more rugged treatment. Both add push-button start and heated front seats as standard over the entry car, and both can be had with adaptive cruise control. The ACTIV is the one to look at if a power driver's seat matters, since a power-adjustable driver's seat is standard on that trim. Beyond that the pair is a styling choice, and the specs and dimensions page confirms that the mechanical package does not change across the range. What every Trax gives you in NWA More room than the price suggests. Cargo runs 25.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 54.1 cubic feet with them folded, and rear-seat passengers get 38.7 inches of legroom, which is what makes this a usable back seat rather than a token one. The body is 178.6 inches long on a 106-inch wheelbase and 71.8 inches wide without mirrors, so it parks easily downtown. The fuel tank is 13.2 gallons, which at 30 combined is a long way between stops for a commute. The cargo and interior page has the space broken down properly, and the Trax versus Buick Envista comparison covers the closest relative if you are cross-shopping inside the family.

We are at 2700 SE Moberly Ln in Bentonville, a couple of minutes off I-49, and because the 1RS and LT are the same money we tend to have both on the lot at once, which is the whole point of coming in rather than deciding from a configurator.

On ownership, the Trax carries a 3-year / 36,000-mile basic warranty, 5 years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain and one included maintenance visit in the first 12 months covering an oil and filter change, a multi-point inspection and a four-tire rotation; the maintenance schedule has the ongoing intervals.
