About This 2017 Chevrolet Suburban LT

This 2017 Suburban LT (Stock #11867) comes in at 143,706 miles — a number that sounds significant until you understand what these trucks are built to do.

2017 Chevrolet Suburban Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits GM's legendary 5.3L V8 OHV engine producing 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. This combination gives the 2017 Suburban a towing capacity of up to 8,300 pounds — enough to haul a boat, camper, or trailer with confidence. The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 also features Active Fuel Management, which deactivates four cylinders during light-load highway cruising to improve fuel economy. For a vehicle of this size, real-world highway mileage in the 20 MPG range is achievable, making it more practical than many buyers expect.

Chevrolet Suburban LT Features and Interior

The LT trim sits in the heart of the Suburban lineup, offering a generous feature set that goes well beyond the base LS. Inside, you'll find seating for up to nine passengers across three rows, making it one of the largest passenger-carrying SUVs on the market. The LT typically includes leather-appointed seating, a power liftgate, heated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity. Additional features commonly found on LT models include a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, a Bose premium audio system, power-folding third-row seats, and remote start — giving you flagship-level comfort at a trim price point that makes sense for real buyers.

Chevrolet Suburban Reliability and Ownership

The Suburban has one of the strongest reliability reputations of any full-size SUV on the market, and the 2017 model year is widely regarded as a sweet spot in the current generation. The 5.3L V8 and its paired transmission have been refined over decades of production and are known for their durability when properly maintained. Common ownership costs are predictable — routine oil changes, brake service, and the occasional suspension component are the typical expenses at this mileage range. Owners consistently praise the Suburban for its ride quality, interior space, and ability to handle everything from school pickups to cross-country road trips without complaint. J.D. Power rated the 2017 Suburban above average in dependability, and it's not unusual to see these trucks rolling strong past 250,000 miles.
