Larger-sized haulers have long been a crowd favorite here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis: the 3 following sought-after movers are riding on awesome and sturdy frames, while eager to conquer the demands of both rigorous work and play. The all-new 2024 Chevy Traverse has now been introduced into its third and pavement-hungry generation, seeing a variety of updates and changes. The Tahoe and Suburban are both itching to see how they measure up as well since drivers are wondering who ranks best for passenger room, exterior dimensions car, and cargo room.
The 2024 Chevy Traverse comes to the starting (or snow-shoveling!) gate primed and ready with a slightly larger wheelbase than that of the Chevy Tahoe, boasting a final measurement of 121 inches. The Traverse is the smallest in every other dimension in this trusty trio, while the Suburban measures in with an extra 21.2 inches when held up against the Traverse. Passenger room is a box that many eager drivers are looking to check in approval, and the Traverse offers the most second-row headroom during this involved comparison by GM Authority.
It may be an extended day at the golf course, nearest state park, or afterschool sports gathering: even in times that demand eco-efficiency and innovation, space still reigns as king for the busy family. The Suburban makes waves here with more than 47 additional cubic feet behind the first row when facing off against the 2024 Traverse. The Gear Patrol review team excitedly claimed that the Suburban is “enduring an iconic, and always for good reason."
The 2024 Suburban first slapped its iconic badge on a passenger vehicle back in 1934, even before the notion of the American suburb had come into existence. With nearly 9 decades and 12 generations of history under its belt, it is a big, heavy, and practical hauler that is excellent when a large variety of tasks are pressing on your to-do list. The Gear Patrol review team was thrilled with the Suburban’s steering and handling response, and how it can feel nimble while never unwieldy. We’d have to recommend the 6.2-liter V8 for optimal pull, and outright fantastic family-friendly bravado.
The 2024 Chevy Tahoe is now in its fifth generation and sports its truck roots unapologetically well. The Edmunds.com auto review team claimed that it will have all the needed potential to edge out competitors such as the Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia, and Jeep Wagoneer. The Tahoe is ready to steal any errand-heavy show with its impressive towing ability, strong engines, and plenty of available tech. It boasts an old-school SUV stance courtesy of its boxy lines, and the off-road-ready Z71 edition is perfect for a day trip at a challenging oasis away from pavement near you. It could easily stand in for a luxury car, and all the tech inside feels commanding and fresh.
The 2024 Traverse has always flaunted an adventurous spirit, and it has a large fan base as a solid 7 or 8-passenger crossover. For this third generation, the team excitedly injected the sweetest bits from the Tahoe, essentially creating a smaller yet still very capable sibling. The new Traverse has a taller front end, a grille with a more aggressive appearance, and all trims are equipped with a throaty quad exhaust. The Z71 package provides so much more than just beefed-up looks, as one of the extreme additives is dampers with hydraulic rebound control. The 2024 model now debuts a turbocharged 2.5-liter I-4 engine, which cranks out 315 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque.
