If you're searching for a 2017 Chevrolet Suburban LT for sale in Detroit, MI, this silver full-size SUV at F & M Auto Sales deserves a serious look. With a commanding presence, proven V8 power, and the kind of versatile interior that families and work crews both love, the Suburban remains one of America's most capable and recognizable vehicles — and this one is priced for buyers who want serious truck-based utility without the new-car price tag.

About This 2017 Chevrolet Suburban LT

This 2017 Suburban LT (Stock #11772, VIN: 1GNSKHKC8HR331903) is finished in silver and shows 197,149 miles on the odometer. That's an honest, high-mileage vehicle — and there's nothing wrong with saying so. The Suburban's body-on-frame construction and 5.3L V8 are famously built to go the distance, and many examples of this generation regularly exceed 250,000 miles with routine maintenance. For buyers who understand how to evaluate a high-mileage truck-based SUV, this can represent exceptional value. The key is knowing what to inspect, and F & M Auto Sales encourages buyers to bring a trusted mechanic or request a pre-purchase inspection.

2017 Chevrolet Suburban Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Suburban is powered by a 5.3L OHV V8 engine — the same reliable iron-block powerplant found in Silverado trucks and Tahoes across millions of American driveways. Paired with an automatic transmission, this drivetrain delivers smooth, confident power whether you're merging onto I-75, hauling gear up to northern Michigan, or towing a trailer on the weekends. The 5.3L V8 produces around 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque in this application, giving the Suburban a towing capacity of up to 8,300 pounds when properly equipped. Active Fuel Management technology allows the engine to run on four cylinders during light-load cruising, helping balance real-world fuel economy on longer highway runs.

Chevrolet Suburban LT Features and Interior

The LT trim sits in the heart of the Suburban lineup and delivers a well-rounded package of comfort and technology. Expect features like tri-zone automatic climate control, a power liftgate, leather-appointed seating, a heated front row, and Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system with available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The Suburban's three-row interior seats up to nine passengers, and with the second and third rows folded, cargo capacity expands dramatically — making it equally useful for school pickups, job sites, and road trips. Power-adjustable front seats and a rearview camera are standard on this trim, and the elevated seating position gives drivers excellent visibility in dense urban traffic.

Chevrolet Suburban Reliability and Ownership

The GMT K2 generation Suburban (2015–2020) has developed a strong reputation among long-term owners. The 5.3L Ecotec3 V8 is widely regarded as one of GM's most durable engines, and the six-speed automatic transmission in this generation is well-proven. Common ownership notes include monitoring the AFM lifters (a known wear point on high-mileage examples), keeping up with transmission fluid changes, and staying current on coolant flushes. At nearly 200,000 miles, those are the areas a smart buyer will want to verify. Owners on forums like Suburban Enthusiasts and across Reddit consistently report this generation crossing 200K and beyond with proper care. It's not a vehicle to fear at high miles — it's a vehicle to inspect smartly.
