2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 CREW CAB

If you're in the market for a capable, work-ready full-size truck, the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab for sale at Prestige Auto Sales - Modesto in Modesto, CA is worth a serious look. With a proven V8 engine under the hood, a spacious four-door cab, and a practical 5 3/4-foot bed, this Silverado checks the boxes for buyers who need a truck that can genuinely do truck things — without the price tag of something fresh off the lot.

About This 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT

At 112,449 miles, this Silverado sits squarely in what most truck buyers would consider mid-life territory. The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 that powers this generation of Silverado is well-known for its durability — these engines regularly push past 200,000 miles with routine maintenance. The Crew Cab body style means four full-size doors and genuine rear-seat legroom, making it equally useful for hauling a work crew during the week and the whole family on weekends. The short 5 3/4-foot bed is a smart compromise between cab space and cargo utility, fitting standard pallets and long enough for most weekend DIY hauls.

The LT trim puts this truck right in the sweet spot of the Silverado lineup — above the base Work Truck, but without the premium cost of an LTZ or High Country. You get the comfort and convenience features most buyers actually want, without paying for a lot of extras you'll never use.

2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Performance and Engine

EcoTec3 5.3L V8 Power

The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 is one of the most respected truck engines on the market, and for good reason. In the 2017 Silverado, it produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, giving this truck a towing capacity of up to 11,500 pounds when properly equipped. Whether you're pulling a boat to the Delta, towing a trailer across the Central Valley, or just carrying a full payload in the bed, this engine rarely feels strained.

6-Speed Heavy-Duty Automatic Transmission

Paired to that V8 is a 6-speed heavy-duty automatic transmission with overdrive — a combination that balances highway efficiency with the low-end grunt you need for towing and hauling. The 2WD drivetrain keeps things simple and cost-effective for buyers who do most of their driving on paved roads throughout the San Joaquin Valley. It also contributes to slightly better fuel economy compared to its 4WD counterpart, an important consideration for high-mileage commuters.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Features and Interior

Crew Cab Comfort and Space

The Crew Cab configuration is one of the biggest selling points of this truck. Full rear doors open wide and reveal a rear seating area that can comfortably fit three adults — not just kids. For families or work teams, that's a genuine advantage over extended cab configurations.

LT Trim Technology and Convenience

The 2017 Silverado LT comes equipped with Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system, featuring a touchscreen interface, Bluetooth audio streaming, hands-free calling, and USB connectivity. The LT also typically includes cruise control, power windows and locks, a rearview camera, remote keyless entry, and an EZ Lift-and-Lower tailgate. Cloth seating surfaces are durable and easy to clean — a practical choice for a truck that actually works for a living. The steering wheel-mounted audio controls and available OnStar integration round out the daily-driver convenience features.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Reliability and Ownership

The 2017 Silverado 1500 earns consistently strong marks from long-term owners, and the 5.3L EcoTec3 engine is a big part of that story. This engine uses GM's Active Fuel Management (AFM) technology, which deactivates cylinders under light loads to improve fuel efficiency. While some owners choose to disable AFM over time, the core engine itself is considered bulletproof by most mechanics. The 6L80 automatic transmission paired with this engine has also proven robust in truck applications.

J.D. Power gave the 2017 Silverado above-average scores for initial quality, and owner forums frequently cite the truck's solid build quality and low cost of ownership as key reasons buyers stick with the nameplate. Parts are widely available, service is straightforward at any GM dealership or independent shop, and resale value holds strong relative to competitors. For a used truck buyer, that combination of repairability and known reliability is hard to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 a good used truck to buy?

Yes — the 2017 Silverado 1500 is widely regarded as one of the most dependable full-size trucks of its generation. The EcoTec3 V8 engine is known for longevity, and owners routinely report trouble-free driving well past 150,000 miles with regular maintenance.

Is 112,000 miles too many on a Silverado 1500?

Not for a well-maintained Silverado with the 5.3L V8. These engines are engineered for the long haul — literally. At 112,449 miles, this truck has plenty of life left. Many Silverado owners report their trucks running strong past 200,000 miles. A pre-purchase inspection from a trusted mechanic is always a smart move, but high mileage alone isn't a dealbreaker on this platform.

What does the Silverado 1500 LT trim include?

The LT trim sits above the base WT and includes upgrades like a MyLink touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth, a rearview camera, power accessories, cruise control, remote keyless entry, the EZ Lift-and-Lower tailgate, and upgraded interior finishes. It strikes a balance between everyday practicality and comfort without crossing into luxury pricing territory.

How much can a 2017 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L V8 tow?

When properly equipped, the 2017 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 can tow up to approximately 11,500 pounds. Payload capacity and exact tow ratings can vary based on the specific build, so check the door jamb sticker or ask the dealer for the specific ratings on this vehicle.

Is 2WD okay on a Silverado in California's Central Valley?

For most buyers in the San Joaquin Valley, a 2WD Silverado is perfectly suited to daily use. The Central Valley's flat terrain and mild winters mean 4WD is rarely a necessity for in-town driving, highway commuting, or even most construction and agricultural work in the region. 2WD trucks also tend to be simpler to maintain and can deliver slightly better fuel economy.
