3 Chevy SUV Models For Outdoor Adventures

A red 2022 Chevy Trailblazer RS is shown driving on a city street after visiting a Pryor OK Chevy dealer.

There are just some things that an SUV or crossover model can do better than any other vehicle option. Space, practicality, and capability are three of those things. It’s safe to say that wander lusters and nature lovers everywhere need a reliable crossover model. When it’s time to get a vehicle that can carry you and your friends to and from music festivals or your family to nature parks and campgrounds, it’s time to purchase a Chevy. The great news is that Jay Hatfield Chevrolet of Vinita, your Pryor, OK, Chevy dealer, has several great adventure-ready models for you.

Whether you’re looking for a small model with high fuel-economy ratings, a large model with great towing capacity, or something in between, Chevy has you covered. We’re excited to tell you all about three of Chevy’s newer crossover models: the Trailblazer, the Traverse, and the Tahoe. Whether you’re hitting the golf course, hauling a boat, or camping out at a music festival, there’s a new Chevy crossover that can handle all your favorite outdoor activities.

Why the 2022 Trailblazer Is Great for Concerts and Camping

It’s small, it’s fuel-efficient, and it’s spacious despite its compact size. The 2022 Chevy Trailblazer can balance a bit of everything. It’s perfect for heading out into the woods or for setting up camp in the fields, thanks to its all-wheel drive technology and multiple drive modes. Those who really plan on hitting the backroads can rely on the ACTIV trim’s off-road suspension and additional skid plates to keep them safe and slip-free.

Thanks to its 54.4 cubic feet of cargo volume, the new Trailblazer can act as your own personal tent. Simply fold down the seats and fully take advantage of this model’s cabin space. Or, pack up your camping chairs, coolers, and even your guitar. There’s plenty of room for you, your friends, and your belongings.

Wherever you go, you’ll never have to worry about running low on fuel in the 2022 Trailblazer, either. One tank will last you the whole weekend, even if you’re setting up at a festival or stationed at a campsite. This model gets up to 29 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway, so you can easily run back and forth to town without going broke.

The best part of it all is that you get to stay safe on your adventures. Chevy Safety Assist is now standard on 2022 Trailblazer models. This means you’ll get six different driver-assist features at no additional cost. When you want the reliability of a new model while staying within budget, check out the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer.

The 2022 Chevy Traverse: A Family-Friendly Adventure Mobile

Ready to hit the golf course while the rest of the family hits the pool? The 2022 Chevy Traverse is your model. It’s packed with space, seating up to eight people and offering 98.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity. You can easily haul your kids, your clubs, and a cooler or two without feeling smothered.

It’s easy for the kids to get in and out as well, thanks to Chevy’s Smart Sliding seats. Like the Trailblazer, this model is capable of tackling multiple terrains, but it’s even more powerful than its younger sibling. The Traverse comes with an “Off-Road Mode,” which adds some torque to make those bumpy, muddy roads passable. In addition to this, it includes a Tow/Haul mode as well, with up to a 5,000-pound towing capacity. Thanks to this, you can haul your own golf cart or take the pontoon boat to the lake with ease.

This model comes in seven different trims, so you can make it as luxurious as you want. However, lower trims such as the LT trim include everything you need for the adventure ahead. So, if you’re on a budget, check out the LT Cloth trim to get roof rails and fog lamps, among other fun perks. The main benefits of higher Traverse trims lie in additional convenience features such as heated seating and a sky roof. While not necessary, these trims are fun for safely star-watching out in the country. When you want the real nighttime experience without the risk of bears and mosquitoes, the High Country’s SkyScape sunroof and skylight combo are great for the whole family.

When it’s time for a local adventure, and there are more passengers than just you, your partner, and the dog, we highly recommend the 2022 Chevy Traverse.

The Master Tow Machine: The 2021 Chevy Tahoe

Tow + haul = Tahoe. So far, we’ve touched on tent camping in the Trailblazer, but when it’s time to break out the camper, you need something stronger. This is where the 2021 Chevy Tahoe comes in. This model can seat as many as nine people, and its cargo space bumps up to 122.9 cubic feet. There’s more than enough space for kids, their friends, pets, and cargo.

In addition to its large interior, this full-size SUV can tow as much as 8,300 pounds. Since campers weigh an average of 5,200 pounds, with many even lighter options, we suggest the 2021 Chevy Tahoe to families who like modern-day camping trips. And with up to nine different camera views, hooking up the trailer and towing safely has never been easier.

When you’re heading out of Pryor, and you need something to keep the kids entertained on the ride, the 10.2-inch infotainment system is there to save the day. It includes a Wi-Fi hotspot connection, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto audio streaming, and much more. The kids can stream their favorite podcasts and songs with ease. However, when you need a bit of a break, the rear-seat media systems will keep everyone entertained with games and movies. When your kids are curious about “how much longer” it’s going to take, simply share your navigation screen with them and let them follow along with the trip.

This model is a great option for those who need more space and tons of power. You can choose from six different trims and add on any safety feature you want.

Which One’s for Me?

Each of these models brings something unique to the table. The Trailblazer is incredibly fuel-efficient and lightweight, the Tahoe is a large tow-beast, and the Traverse is a nice balance between the two. When you’re single or living a minimalist lifestyle, your best bet is the Trailblazer. It’s easy to zip around in, and it’s great for both commutes and adventurous weekends.

The Traverse is your average-sized model that most small to medium-sized families like. It has enough towing capacity to pull a boat or a trailer of ATVs, but it’s not “too large” or “too powerful.” Conversely, the Tahoe is the most powerful option of all. It’s designed for those who have large families and who like “glamping.” The choice here is yours. Do you and your partner love to head out to music festivals and camp under the stars? Or do you have kids who complain about the heat and bugs but love roading hotdogs and s’mores over the campfire? No matter what adventure awaits you, any of these three Chevy models can take you there.
