If you're searching for a 2023 Chevrolet Suburban LT for sale in Detroit, Michigan, your search ends here. Best of Michigan Auto Sales has this capable, full-size SUV ready for a test drive — a 2023 Suburban LT with 4WD and Chevy's legendary 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 under the hood, built for families, haulers, and anyone who refuses to compromise on space or capability.
About This 2023 Chevrolet Suburban LT
This 2023 Chevrolet Suburban LT Sport Utility 4D carries 142,022 miles, which may raise eyebrows at first glance — but context matters. The Suburban platform is engineered for long-haul durability, and with proper maintenance history, these trucks routinely run past 250,000 to 300,000 miles without major mechanical drama. At its current mileage, the hard depreciation has already done its work, meaning you get a genuinely modern full-size SUV with up-to-date technology, a refined interior, and serious towing capability — without the new-car price tag. For buyers in Detroit and across Wayne County looking for maximum value in a full-size SUV, this one deserves serious consideration.
The LT trim sits in the sweet spot of the Suburban lineup — above the LS in terms of comfort and convenience features, while remaining accessible to buyers who don't need every luxury option in the Premier or High Country. It's the trim most families gravitate toward for good reason.2023 Chevrolet Suburban Performance and Engine
Power comes from Chevrolet's 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8, one of the most well-regarded truck engines in the industry. This engine produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque in standard configuration, giving the Suburban the muscle to tow up to 8,000 pounds when properly equipped — more than enough for a boat, camper, or trailer. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, the powertrain delivers smooth, confident acceleration whether you're merging onto I-75 or cruising up I-96 toward the suburbs.
The 4WD drivetrain makes this Suburban genuinely all-season capable — a critical feature for Michigan winters. Detroit and Wayne County get real snow, and having a truck-based 4WD system underneath you instead of a car-based AWD setup provides meaningful peace of mind from November through March. The EcoTec3 also features Dynamic Fuel Management, allowing it to run on fewer cylinders during light-load highway driving to improve fuel economy without sacrificing power when you need it.Chevrolet Suburban LT Features and Interior
The 2023 Suburban LT comes well-equipped from the factory. Expect a large touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Bose premium audio system, tri-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, power-folding third-row seats, and a power liftgate. The interior offers seating for up to nine passengers, with best-in-class cargo space behind the third row and an enormous load floor when those seats are folded flat.
Safety technology on the 2023 model year includes automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and available surround-view cameras — features you'd typically associate with luxury vehicles but now standard fare on the LT trim. The cabin itself is quiet and refined, a significant improvement over previous-generation Suburbans in terms of road noise isolation and interior materials quality.Chevrolet Suburban Reliability and Ownership
The Suburban has one of the longest production runs in automotive history — there's a reason it's still on the road in such large numbers. The fifth-generation truck-frame platform used on this 2023 model benefits from decades of refinement. The 5.3-liter V8 and 10-speed transmission combination has accumulated millions of miles across Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, and Suburban applications, giving GM dealers and independent shops in the Detroit area deep familiarity with servicing it.
Common ownership considerations at higher mileage include monitoring the AFM/DFM lifter system — a known weak point on some 5.3-liter engines — along with routine transmission fluid changes and brake inspection given the truck's weight. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is always a sound move on any high-mileage vehicle. That said, owners regularly report 200,000-plus miles with no catastrophic issues when maintenance schedules are followed.Why Buy From Best of Michigan Auto Sales in Detroit, Michigan

Is the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban a good buy at high mileage?
Yes — the Suburban platform is known for exceptional longevity. With proper maintenance, these trucks routinely reach 250,000 to 300,000 miles. A well-documented service history and pre-purchase inspection are your best tools for evaluating any high-mileage example.
How many miles is too many on a Chevrolet Suburban?
There's no hard cutoff. A Suburban with 142,000 miles that has been serviced regularly is often a better buy than one with 80,000 miles and a neglected maintenance history. The EcoTec3 5.3-liter V8 is a robust engine, and the 10-speed transmission is a modern unit with a strong track record when fluid services are performed on schedule.
What does the Suburban LT trim include?
The LT trim includes heated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, a premium infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Bose audio system, power-folding third-row seats, a power liftgate, and a full suite of driver assistance and safety technologies. It's the most popular Suburban trim for families.
Is 4WD worth it on a Suburban in Michigan?
Absolutely. Michigan winters in the Detroit metro and across Wayne County bring real snowfall and icy conditions. The truck-based 4WD system on the Suburban provides more robust traction control and lower-range capability compared to standard AWD crossovers — a meaningful advantage for Michigan drivers.
Can I tow with a 2023 Chevrolet Suburban LT?
Yes. When properly equipped, the 2023 Suburban with the 5.3-liter V8 is rated to tow up to 8,000 pounds. That covers most recreational trailers, boats, and campers that families commonly tow throughout the summer months.Serving Detroit and Surrounding Areas in Wayne County
