If you’re looking for a big family vehicle with excellent safety ratings, the ability to tow 5,200 pounds and reasonably good fuel economy for its size, the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse may be the best game in town.
Those who absolutely must have a V8 won’t find one offered on the Traverse. Styling is a bit more contemporary than its stablemates at Saturn and GMC, but resale values fall below those held by the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot.
