What a Chevrolet Traverse build sheet shows
For a three-row crossover the build sheet confirms trim, drivetrain, second-row seating and the ordered packages — trailering, technology, sunroof and driver-assistance bundles. You get the RPO codes for the ordered options and packages, not every standard-equipment code on the SPID label.
- • The factory trim, exterior color, and interior trim recorded for that VIN.
- • Installed factory options and packages, when the underlying build data includes them — for GM vehicles, the RPO codes for the options and packages the vehicle was ordered with.
- • Original MSRP figures, when the underlying build data includes them — not every VIN or model year has this available.
- • A downloadable, printable PDF you can keep with the vehicle’s records or share with a seller or lender.
Data density varies by model year and specific VIN — some vehicles return a full option and MSRP breakdown, others return trim and color only. We tell you which one applies before you pay. Not included: accident history, title brands (salvage, flood, lemon), odometer history, prior-owner count, service records.
Chevrolet Traverse options that matter most
None of this model's key options are in the GM RPO code reference yet, so they are listed by name. Options marked “by name” appear on the build record under their option name — the RPO code varies by model year and is shown on the build sheet for that VIN when the build data includes it.
| Option | RPO code (applies to) | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Trailering package | By name | Shown by name. The factory trailering package is what makes a Traverse tow-ready; a hitch alone may be aftermarket. |
| Second-row captain’s chairs vs bench | By name | Shown by name. Seven- vs eight-passenger seating is fixed at the factory. |
| Z71 trim (third generation) | By name | Shown by name here: on the current Traverse, Z71 is a trim level with its own off-road-styled content. |
| Super Cruise (third generation, equipped trims) | By name | Shown by name. Hands-free driver-assistance hardware installed at build on equipped vehicles. |
| Technology and sunroof packages | By name | Shown by name. Names and contents change by year — read them off the record. |
Exterior color is a separate paint code — see the Chevrolet paint code reference. Looking for a Corvette? It has its own Corvette build sheet by VIN page.
Chevrolet Traverse generations at a glance
| Generation | US model years | Build-sheet notes |
|---|---|---|
| Second generation | 2018–2023 | V6-powered three-row crossover with RS and High Country trims; packages and seating are the main differences. |
| Third generation | 2024–present | Redesigned with a 2.5L turbo four and a Z71 trim; vPIC decodes 2025 RS examples as a 2.5L inline-four. |

Where to find the VIN and the SPID label on a Chevrolet Traverse
- • The VIN is visible through the lower driver-side corner of the windshield.
- • It is also on the driver-side door-jamb certification label, and on the title, registration and insurance card.
- • GM's Service Parts Identification (SPID) label is usually inside the glovebox (sometimes in the center console, trunk or spare-tire area). It repeats the VIN, shows the paint code and lists every RPO the vehicle was built with — standard equipment included, often 50 or more codes.
The CarWhere build sheet is not a copy of that label. It returns the RPO codes for the options and packages the vehicle was ordered with — the codes that set one Traverse apart from another — when the build data includes them. If the label is missing, faded or you can't see the vehicle, that is usually what you need. How to read the label itself: GM SPID label explained.
Example: a Chevrolet Traverse VIN, position by position
Illustrative example, not a specific vehicle: 1GNEVLRS2SJ012345 is a check-digit-valid pattern that the federal decoder reads as a 2025 Chevrolet Traverse RS SUV, all-wheel drive, with a 2.5L four-cylinder, built in Lansing, Michigan. Nothing in the 17 characters lists RPO codes or packages — those live in the production record for the VIN. Decode any Chevrolet VIN free with the Chevrolet VIN decoder.
| Positions | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | 1GN | World Manufacturer Identifier — Chevrolet SUVs and MPVs built in the US (1GN). |
| 4–7 | EVLR | Vehicle descriptor — GM line, series, body and restraint coding; vPIC reads Traverse RS, AWD SUV. |
| 8 | S | Engine code — vPIC reads a 2.5L inline-four (gasoline). |
| 9 | 2 | Check digit (validates the other 16 characters). |
| 10 | S | Model year 2025. |
| 11 | J | Assembly plant: Lansing, Michigan. |
| 12–17 | 012345 | Production serial number. |
Chevrolet window sticker vs build sheet
Start with the free Chevrolet window sticker by VIN lookup: when GM's window-sticker system has the original Monroney label for that VIN, it lists the factory options and packages with their prices. When no sticker comes back, the build sheet is the replacement — This CarWhere build sheet is reconstructed from available VIN-level build data. It is not an official Chevrolet Monroney label or factory certificate. The other routes (SPID label, dealer printout, owner app) are compared in how to find GM options by VIN.

FAQ
Does a Traverse build sheet show the seating configuration?
When the build data includes it, yes — seating is a factory option and appears with the other ordered options and packages and their RPO codes.
Can I see the Traverse window sticker instead?
Often, yes — try the free Chevrolet window sticker lookup first. When GM’s system has no sticker for the VIN, a build sheet reconstructs the ordered configuration from licensed VIN-level build data.
Is the build sheet the same as the Traverse glovebox SPID label?
Not exactly. The Service Parts Identification (SPID) label lists every RPO on the vehicle, including standard equipment. The CarWhere build sheet returns the RPO codes for the options and packages the vehicle was ordered with — the codes that set one build apart from another — when the build data includes them.
How much is a Traverse build sheet by VIN?
Checking whether detailed build data exists for the VIN is free and happens before you pay. If it does, the report — including the build sheet — is $9.99 one-time, no subscription. If it doesn’t, you are not charged.
Is the CarWhere Traverse build sheet an official Chevrolet document?
No. This CarWhere build sheet is reconstructed from available VIN-level build data. It is not an official Chevrolet Monroney label or factory certificate. When GM’s window-sticker system has the original sticker for a VIN, the free Chevrolet window sticker lookup returns that document instead.
