Silverado is Chevrolet’s name for their legendary family of full-size and heavy-duty pickup trucks, produced since 1999.

It can haul up to 12,500 pounds, making it just as ideal for towing the boat to the lake on Saturday as hauling bricks to the construction site on Monday. It’s no wonder the Silverado 1500 is heralded by J.D Power as the “Highest Ranked Large Light Duty Pickup in Initial Quality” two years in a row.

With sturdy construction, reliable performance and plentiful cargo space, there is no wrong choice when it comes to Chevrolet’s lineup of SUVs. With excellent picks, like the spacious Traverse and the adaptable Equinox, it can be difficult choosing which Chevy SUV or crossover is right for you. Learn more about the Equinox and the Traverse at Martin Chevrolet in Crystal Lake, Illinois, to find out which vehicle better fits your lifestyle. The 2017 Chevrolet Equinox vs. the 2017 Chevrolet Traverse: Choosing Your Next Chevy SUV 2017 Chevrolet Equinox Although they both lie in the middle of the range of Chevy SUV sizes, the Equinox and the Traverse are very different vehicles. As a compact SUV, the Equinox is the smaller of the two models. However, a compact classification does not have to mean a cramped interior or a weak drive. The Equinox proves this with an available V6 engine that provides quick acceleration for an uncommonly fun crossover ride. The same V6 engine also gives it a best-in-class towing capacity of 3,600 lbs. Passengers can spread out in the rear row with 39.9” of legroom, in Multi-Flex® sliding seats. However, as the smaller option, the Equinox does not offer quite as much cargo space as the Traverse. It makes up for this with a lower starting MSRP of $23,100. The Equinox also lets you save on fuel with 31 highway MPG. These qualities contributed the 2016 Equinox being named J.D. Power’s top-ranked compact SUV in initial quality. 2017 Chevrolet Traverse The Traverse offers up third-row seats, and the kind of power needed to back up that size increase. Choose how you load up your car with versatile seating for up to eight that can convert to 116.3 cubic feet of cargo storage. Though its powerful V6 engine ups the tow capabilities to 5,200 lbs, it cannot achieve the compelling acceleration of the Equinox. Despite this, the drive is smooth, comfortable, and quiet over most terrains. The Traverse also comes with a 5-star NHTSA crash-test rating and safety features, like Forward Collision Alert and Rear Vision Camera, to give you and your passengers peace of mind. Which is Right For You? With two SUVs as excellent as the Traverse and the Equinox choosing one comes down to your needs and preferences. The Equinox is better positioned towards younger families. Its gas mileage also makes it a great commuter vehicle that can also handle your daily errands and chores. If you’re interested in speed, choosing the V6 is your best bet. The Traverse is ideal for larger families and anyone who regularly needs the wide open cargo space. If you are looking for a vehicle that can tow larger loads, you should probably go with the Traverse.
