The mirrors on the LTZ are now power folding, heated and have a driver's-side auto-dimming feature. The LT2 gets the same mirrors, only they must be folded manually.
Changes for 2011 are limited to some new paint colors, a relocated USB port and the availability of heated cloth seats on LT models.
Although the once-thriving SUV business is in a sales downturn, GM is keenly aware that many Americans still have a need for seven-passenger transportation. With this in mind, GM has created a new line of crossover SUVs offering maximum interior space, mid-level towing capability and fuel economy numbers that reach into the mid-twenties. The latest iteration of this well-conceived platform is the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse, a vehicle that combines contemporary styling, one of the best accident-avoidance systems in the business and an interior worthy of a high-end luxury car – all at a Chevrolet price.

"I love my 2011 Traverse! It's big and roomy inside but isn't too big to park and drive. I can see this vehicle meeting and exceeding all our family needs as we grow. The 3rd row seats are comfortable and allow plenty of room for an adult or children. AWD does wondefully in snow, slush, and ice! It's a GREAT vechile! I recommed it to everyone that is looking for a SUV/Van."

"I owned a GMC Yukon before this vehicle. Loved my Yukon, easier to get in and out of places in Traverse. Very comfortable to ride in. I have two complaints, horrible smell when window is down and power steering makes noise. Brought back to dealership and nothing they can do about either. Getting the run around. Feel very safe riding in this SUV. Gas mileage around 20 - 21 with husband driving. 22 - 23 with me driving."

"I bought the LTZ AWD fully loaded. It was a great upgrade from the Trailblazer. Two winters and the AWD was an adequate replacement for four wheel drive. No mechanical problems. Gas mileage was just below 20 mpg but I drove it hard. Live on a hill so the brakes were replaced once."
