2023 Chevy Traverse, Texas, Paying Cash + Trade-in

Priority features for us:

• 3rd row plus cargo space (already multiple kids, foster parents so family can grow at any moment)

• 2nd row captains seats (2 kids in car seats that need space and help getting in)

• AWD (not needed daily, but road trip into mountains to see family every winter break)

• A/C vents over each seat (southern summer)

• Price (can’t jump into the price range of large SUV)

We’ve researched in this mid-size class and struggle to find cargo space behind the third row that’s even close to the Traverse. I also find it hard to accept that some cars in this class are 4-cyl (I once drove a V8 Land Cruiser).

Is there a good option we’re just missing?
