About This 2017 GMC Acadia SLT-1

This 2017 GMC Acadia SLT-1 is a Sport Utility 4-door with 134,902 miles — a well-traveled but entirely reasonable number for a midsize SUV of this generation. The 2017 Acadia was actually redesigned that model year, meaning this vehicle benefits from a lighter, more refined platform compared to the older-generation Acadia. At this mileage, you're stepping into a truck that has worked through its early quirks and broken in beautifully.

2017 GMC Acadia Performance and Engine

V6 Power Meets All-Wheel Drive

Under the hood sits GMC's 3.6-liter V6 engine paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. This combination delivers confident acceleration whether you're merging onto I-75, navigating I-96 through the Metro Detroit corridor, or heading north toward Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The 3.6L V6 produces around 310 horsepower, giving the Acadia SLT-1 more than enough muscle for a loaded family SUV.

The AWD system is a genuine asset for Michigan drivers. Whether you're dealing with early November slush in Detroit or a February ice storm in Wayne County, the Acadia's all-wheel drive distributes power intelligently to keep you planted and in control. This isn't just a marketing spec — it's a real-world advantage for anyone who lives and commutes in Southeast Michigan.

GMC Acadia SLT-1 Features and Interior

A Premium Trim Without the Premium Price Tag

The SLT-1 trim sits comfortably in the upper tier of the Acadia lineup, bringing a long list of features that make everyday driving more enjoyable. Expect heated front seats, a leather-accented interior, a power liftgate, remote start, and GMC's IntelliLink infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen. The system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so staying connected on your commute is effortless.

Safety tech on the SLT-1 includes a rearview camera, forward collision alert, and lane departure warning — features that remain genuinely useful and relevant for today's roads. The cabin itself is well-laid-out with available seating for up to seven passengers, making this Acadia as practical as it is comfortable.

GMC Acadia Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say

The 2017 Acadia's redesign was widely praised for improving on the older generation's weaknesses. It's lighter, more fuel-efficient, and better to drive. The 3.6L V6 is a well-proven unit found across GM's lineup, and when maintained with regular oil changes and scheduled service it has an excellent track record for longevity. Owners consistently point to the smooth ride, quiet cabin, and intuitive tech as highlights of daily ownership.

As with any used SUV approaching six figures on the odometer, a pre-purchase inspection is a smart move. Check fluid levels, inspect the AWD transfer case, and confirm transmission service history. At this mileage, brakes and suspension components may have been serviced already — ask the dealer for the full maintenance record.
