<p>Chevrolet Traverse Engine Specs: The Traverse LTZ comes outfitted with a  3.6 liter, 6-cylinder motor that uses 24 valves. The  engine, manufactured by General Motors, is mated to a  six-speed transaxle by General Motors. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Chevrolet.</p>
<p><span id="more-636"></span></p>
<p>The Traverse uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.  Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration.  The truck uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.</p>
<h3>Vehicle Statistics</h3>
<p>The dimensions of the Traverse LTZ are  inches wide by  inches long.  It sits   inches off the ground.  It seats a standard several adults passengers, with 4 doors.  The wheelbase of  allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.</p>
<p>The standard warranty period for the Traverse is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first.  There is also a warranty on the powertrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively.  This is standard in the sport utility  market.</p>

<p>The Traverse LTZ received a miles-per-gallon rating of  seventeen  in-city driving and  twenty three when it came to highway driving.  Being a gas-powered non-hybrid truck, this was exceptional.</p>
<h3>What We Think of the Chevrolet Traverse</h3>
<p>The 2009 model year was telling year for the Chevrolet Traverse.  The introduction of several trim levels (along with the LTZ version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.</p>

<p>Frequently you will discover that purchasers of the Chevrolet Traverse are quite excited about their purchase. The Traverse has held a position among the top of the Traverse line of truck for a very long time. It is a significant truck, and the 2009 model is no different. The Chevrolet Traverse comes under the heading of sport utility models that are fun to drive.</p>
<p><span id="more-635"></span></p>
<h3>Under the Hood</h3>
<p>The restyled Traverse LT is equipped with a  3.6-liter  six-cylinder engine that utilizes  24 valves.  The  engine is mated to a General Motors  six-speed transaxle.  This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2008 version.</p>
<p>Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Traverse comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.   The truck uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.</p>
<h3>Vehicle Statistics</h3>
<p>The dimensions of the Traverse LT are  inches wide by  inches long.  It sits   inches off the ground.  It seats a standard several adults passengers, with 4 doors.  The wheelbase of  allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 2009 (MSRP) was an industry-low price, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-low price.  This price is on target the industry average price for a  four-door Sport Utility.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The fuel system for the 2009 Traverse is a SFI system, running on gasoline .  The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The 12-gallon tank provides the fuel storage for longer trips.</p>
<p>The Traverse LT received a miles-per-gallon rating of  seventeen  in-city driving and  twenty three when it came to highway driving.  Being a gas-powered non-hybrid truck, this was exceptional.</p>
<h3>We Think&#8230;</h3>
<p>There are several reasons why the Chevrolet Traverse LT sold well in 2009.  Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Chevrolet, specifically a Traverse.</p>

<p>A lot has been said about the Chevrolet Traverse for 2009.  As Chevrolet&#8217;s entry in the sport utility market the Traverse (and in this case specically the LS version) has maintained a good reputation.  The 4-door Traverse is especially appealing to wide market segment, making it a perfect truck to help Chevrolet as a brand in general.</p>
<p><span id="more-634"></span></p>
<h3>Chevrolet Traverse Engine Specs</h3>
<p>Chevrolet Traverse Engine Specs: The Traverse LS comes outfitted with a  3.6 liter, 6-cylinder motor that uses 24 valves. The  engine, manufactured by General Motors, is mated to a  six-speed transaxle by General Motors. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Chevrolet.</p>
<p>The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.  Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Traverse uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and coil in the rear.</p>
<h3>Statistics</h3>
<p>The Traverse is  inches long,  inches wide, and  inches high.  It has a wheelbase of  inches.  It is able to seat several adults comfortably.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 2009 (MSRP) was an industry-average price, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-average price.  This price is on target the industry average price for a  four-door Sport Utility.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The fuel system for the 2009 Traverse is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel.  The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The capacity of the fuel tank is 12 gallons.</p>
<p>The 2009 Traverse gets 23 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 in the city.  This is subpar for a sport utility truck.</p>
<h3>What We Think of the Chevrolet Traverse</h3>
<p>The 2008 model began the promise of the Chevrolet Traverse.  The 2009 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets.  Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Chevrolet hopes that the Traverse LS will continue to be a profitable vehicle.</p>

<p>The Uplander LT is equipped with a General Motors 3.5 liter  six-cylinder engine that utilizes 12 valves.  The N/A engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transaxle.  This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.</p>
<p>Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Uplander has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.   The van uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_injected">fuel system</a> for the 2006 Uplander is a SFI design, running on gasoline fuel.  The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 25.00 gallons.</p>
<h3>Vehicle Statistics</h3>
<p>The Uplander is 204.30 inches long, 72.00 inches wide, and 72.00 inches high.  It has a wheelbase of 121.10 inches.  It is able to seat 3 comfortably.</p>
<p>The standard warranty period for the Uplander is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.  This is standard in the mini passenger van  market.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 2006 (MSRP) was $21,150, with an invoice cost of $19,775.  This price is above average of the industry average price for a  four-door Mini Passenger Van.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The Uplander LT received a miles-per-gallon rating of  eighteen  in-city driving and  twenty five when it came to long-distance.  Being a gas-powered non-green van, this was exceptional.</p>
<p>In 2005 and 2006 the Uplander LT was availble in the exterior colors of Amber Bronze Metallic, Blue Granite, Bordeaux Red Metallic, Dark Blue Metallic, Emerald Jewel Metallic, Sandstone Metallic, Silverstone Metallic, and  Summit White.  Additional options were made available by the factory.</p>
<h3>We Think&#8230;</h3>
<p>There are several reasons why the Chevrolet Uplander LT sold well in 2006.  Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Chevrolet, specifically a Uplander.</p>
