I have a 2008 Gulf Stream Vista Mini Cruiser 60-8-C-4231 on a 2007 Freightliner chassis with 5cyl Mercedes engine. I towed a Ford Explorer with automatic transmission for several years, close to 5000 pounds. I towed it on a long trip through Western Canada over the Siskiyous and Rockies without any issues at all, other than the expected slow going in the higher mountains. I also carried tools and bulkier items in the Explorer. I suspect you'll be fine towing the Traverse. We've now switched to towing a 2015 Fiat with standard transmission and can hardly tell it's back there! :-)
