Why the Chevy Traverse Made the List — and Might Just Be Your Family’s New MVP
Not all heroes wear capes. Some come with three rows of seating, AWD, and enough cargo space to swallow a Costco haul whole. That’s why the Chevy Traverse earned a well-deserved spotlight in Nielsen Editorial’s roundup of the most reliable used cars for NJ drivers.
Because when your kid's science project, the team snack cooler, and a random inflatable flamingo all need to fit, you need a vehicle that’s less “mid-size SUV” and more “mobile command center.”
In a state where the roads can throw you every curveball (from Garden State Parkway gridlock to snowy school runs in Randolph), reliability isn’t optional.
This is Jersey. If your car can’t handle a 7 a.m. coffee spill, a 2 p.m. carpool panic, and a 6 p.m. Wegmans run, it’s not cut out for the job.
The Traverse delivers with a strong track record for durability, a smooth, quiet ride, and a cabin roomy enough for weekend trips, weekday chaos, and the occasional meltdown over who gets to pick the playlist.
It’s like driving a living room — if your living room had cupholders, USB ports, and the ability to crush a snowbank.
Families love the Traverse not just because of the space, but because it brings confidence to every commute. Recent model years offer high safety ratings, user-friendly tech (read: fewer backseat arguments about Bluetooth), and available AWD to handle all four of New Jersey’s moods — you know, winter, roadwork, beach traffic, and “surprise detour because the GPS had a meltdown.”
So yes — the Traverse made the list. And it might just make your life 87% easier.
Find a used Traverse for sale at our Chevrolet dealership in NJ, and see how a reliable used SUV can turn your everyday driving into something that feels just a little more manageable — and a lot more fun.
