About This 2017 Chevrolet Suburban LT

The 2017 Suburban LT is the sweet spot of the Suburban lineup — it steps well above the base LS trim with meaningful comfort and technology upgrades, while still delivering the rugged utility that made the Suburban an American icon. At 135,425 miles, this truck is well into its working life, but Suburbans are genuinely built to go the distance. With proper maintenance history, these full-size SUVs routinely push past 200,000 miles, which means this one still has plenty of road left in it. For buyers in Detroit and the greater Wayne County area looking to maximize value in the used SUV market, the mileage here is realistic for the price point and the platform.
 

2017 Chevrolet Suburban Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Suburban is powered by GM's EcoTec3 5.3-liter V8, one of the most well-regarded truck engines in the industry. It produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, paired to a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. That combination means confident merging on I-75, easy passing on I-94, and the towing capacity — up to 8,300 lbs — that makes this a workhorse, not just a people-mover.

The 4WD drivetrain is a critical feature for Michigan buyers. Whether you're navigating a Detroit neighborhood after a February snowstorm or heading up north to the U.P. for a weekend trip, having full four-wheel drive available adds a real safety margin. The EcoTec3 engine also features Active Fuel Management, which deactivates cylinders when full power isn't needed, helping bring fuel economy into a more manageable range for a truck this size.
 

Chevrolet Suburban LT Features and Interior

The LT trim brings a noticeably elevated interior experience compared to base configurations. Expect features like leather-appointed seating, tri-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a Bose premium audio system, and Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment interface. The Suburban's three-row layout seats up to nine passengers, and the third row folds flat for a massive cargo footprint when you need to haul gear instead of people.

The LT also typically includes a rear-seat entertainment system, a rearview camera, keyless entry, and remote start — genuinely useful features for Michigan winters when warming up the cabin before you ever step outside makes a real difference in daily life.
 

Chevrolet Suburban Reliability and Ownership

The 2017 Suburban has earned a strong reputation among owners for long-term dependability. Built on GM's K2 platform and sharing its bones with the Silverado 1500, this generation of Suburban benefits from decades of refinement. Common ownership experiences include straightforward maintenance, widely available parts, and a massive network of mechanics — both dealer and independent — who know this platform inside and out.

Owners frequently report the EcoTec3 5.3L V8 as one of the most reliable engines GM has produced in recent years. The 6-speed automatic, while not as modern as later 8 or 10-speed units, is known for durability and low trouble rates. At this mileage, a pre-purchase inspection focusing on cooling system components, transfer case fluid, and suspension bushings is always a smart move — standard advice for any high-mileage truck platform.
