Best Chevrolet Traverse Accessories

If you drive your Chevrolet Traverse on mud or gravel roads, you have likely noticed the mess and damage caused by debris kicking up from the tire. The mud and other grime can be very hard to remove while stone chips can lead to early rust if the rocks dig far enough into the paint.

Fortunately, there are lots of aftermarket options for mud flaps for the Chevrolet Traverse, including the set shown here from WeatherTech. These flaps are laser-measured to fit perfectly every single time. In fact, it just takes minutes to mount them.

Available for Traverse models from 2018 through 2021, they mount using the same holes as the flaps that are offered by Chevrolet. That makes them ideal for anyone looking to replace the factory mud flaps due to damage or fading, but it also makes installation a breeze. You simply use the included fasteners in the pre-drilled holes to create a clean look that protects your paint from stones and other debris.

Most Chevrolet Traverse models come with aluminum wheels from the factory. These wheels look better than steel wheels with hubcaps and they weigh a bit less, effectively improving performance and efficiency, but there is a key issue. Aluminum wheels are easy to sell to a recycling center and aluminum prices are high, making them popular targets of thieves. Chevrolet offers wheel locks from the factory when you order a new Traverse, but if you have an older model or a new model without them, they are easy to acquire in the aftermarket world.

This set of wheel locks from Dorman will help protect the aluminum wheels of your Chevrolet Traverse from thieves. The outside of each of these lug nuts has a unique shape, so a traditional socket won’t grip to loosen them. The unique key socket has the pattern of the wheel locks on the inside, so when using the key and a socket, you can remove the wheels. When it comes to keep your vehicle safe, this is of the best Chevy Traverse accessories available.

The seat belts of the latest Chevrolet Traverse are positioned to comfortably accommodate most people, but if you are very tall or very short, you might find that the shoulder strap of the seat belt rests against the bare skin of your neck or upper chest. Especially in the case of a long drive, having the nylon seat belt rub against your skin can become quite bothersome. Fortunately, it is an easy fix.

There are many seat belt pad options, but this set from Weill shows off your Chevrolet pride. Finished in a carbon fiber pattern and sporting the Chevy bowtie logo, these attach to the belt by wrapping around and connecting to themselves with Velcro, so you can put them anywhere you want on the belt. Once in place, these pads will prevent the seat belt material from rubbing against your skin. If the carbon fiber material and Chevy branding is too much for your tastes, there are also many seat belt pads available in plain colors and without any logos.

The odds are good that your Chevrolet Traverse has air conditioning, but if you prefer fresh air, you may be the type of driver who usually has the windows open. That is a fine approach until you hit rain, at which point driving with the windows open can lead to quite a mess. In addition to getting water in places that you don’t want, any rear-riding passengers can get pretty wet if the folks up front have their windows open in the rain.

The fix for this problem is a set of in-channel vent visors from Auto Ventshade. These acrylic shades slide up into the door frame and they are held in place by a combination of tape and the pressure of the window glass. When in place, you can open the windows enough to get fresh air into the cabin, but rain water runs down over the vent visors, missing the window opening.

Most Chevrolet Traverse SUVs are family vehicles that are used all year long. Normal family activities such as football or softball practice can lead to lot of debris being tracked onto the carpet and on family trips, the carpeting can take a beating from meals on the go. Mud, ketchup and chocolate milkshakes can all quickly ruin your carpet while the excess of melted snow can lead to a soggy mess, but it is easy to prevent this headache with a good set of rubber floor mats.

These rubber floor mats from MAXLINER are one of the best option for keeping the carpeting in your Traverse safe from stains. These mats are designed for the specific vehicle, with a tight fit across each of areas protected. This includes mats with high sides for the driver and front passenger, a singular mat that spans the entire area in front of the rear seats, a small mat for the area in front of the third-row seats and a large mat for the cargo area. These mats will keep passengers from tracking mud onto the carpet while also preventing fluids from sloshing over sides while driving.

While they aren’t cheap a good set of floor mats is among the best Chevy Traverse accessories you can buy to protect the interior of your vehicle.

If you have been driving for a long time, you have experienced the sinking feel of turning the key of your vehicle and getting nothing but a quickly repeating click. With the Chevrolet Traverse often serving as a family vehicle, a dead battery can prove to be a huge headache, especially if you have a couple small kids with you. The fix is as simple as calling for an emergency roadside assistance vehicle, but that can often take a long time and if it is late at night, the last thing that you want to be doing is sitting with your family in a dark parking lot.

If you want to help protect yourself from the headache of a dead battery, this jump start box from NOCO is one of the smartest Chevy Traverse accessories you can buy. It is small enough to easily tuck away in the corner of your cargo area or under the rear load floor. Should your battery be too low to start the car, you simply hook it to the battery, turn on the device and it provides the power needed to start your car. With 2000 amps of power, it will jump start even large vehicles and the jump start box has integrated USB charging ports, so on long car trips, you can use the NOCO Boost HD GB70 to charge your phone or tablet.

OEM headlight technology has come a long way in the past few decades and the Chevrolet Traverse has lights which are similar in brightness to other vehicles in the SUV world. Unfortunately, the stock headlights are not as bright as some other vehicles’ stock lights, nor are they are bright as aftermarket headlights. Fortunately, the brightest headlight bulbs on the market are available for your Chevy SUV.

Sylvania has long been known for their brilliant bright white headlights, with the Silverstar line offering one of the highest levels of illumination in the industry. Not only are the Sylvania SilverStar Ultra brighter than most OEM bulbs, but the whiter light offers better visibility while driving at night. The bulbs plug directly into the standard sockets, so to achieve brighter, clearer light, the installation process is quick and easy.
