What fits
What fits in a Chevrolet Traverse?
Measure smart
What to measure.
Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.
- 01The opening width and height of the trunk or liftgate, not just the total volume, since the opening is what an item has to pass through.
- 02The load-floor length behind the rear seats, then again with the seats folded.
- 03The height available under the roofline or parcel shelf, measured at the lowest point.
- 04Your item at its widest point, including feet, handles, and packaging.
Don't make these
Common mistakes.
Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.
- ⚠Trusting the cubic-foot figure and assuming a wide item will fit, when the opening is narrower than the item.
- ⚠Measuring the cargo floor but forgetting the roofline tapers toward the opening.
- ⚠Ignoring that a full-size spare, subwoofer, or hybrid battery eats into the quoted volume.
- ⚠Folding only one seat when the long item needs the full flat load floor.
Frequently asked
Questions we keep getting.
How much cargo space does a Chevy Traverse have?
22.9 cu ft behind the 3rd row, 56.6 cu ft with 3rd row folded, and 97.6 cu ft max with all seats folded. One of the largest 3-row SUVs — cargo floor extends to about 82".
01Traverse vs. Atlas cargo?
Traverse wins: 97.6 vs. 96.6 cu ft max. Traverse also has more space behind the 3rd row (22.9 vs. 20.6 cu ft). For moves and road trips, Traverse is the more practical 3-row.
02Can I fit a full-size mattress in a Traverse?
A full mattress (54" × 75") exceeds the 48" cargo width but fits diagonally with seats folded. Rolled foam full mattresses fit flat. For spring mattresses, angle the load or tie it to a roof rack.
