2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 CREW CAB

If you're searching for a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab LTZ for sale in Bakersfield, CA, this well-equipped full-size pickup at Prestige Auto Sales is worth a serious look. Priced at $19,499 and wearing a honest 117,611 miles, this truck delivers the power, comfort, and capability that made the Silverado 1500 one of America's best-selling trucks — at a price that makes sense for real working people in the Central Valley.

About This 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ

The 2017 model year sits squarely in the K2XX generation of the Silverado, a platform widely respected for its durability and refined ride quality. The LTZ trim is one step below the top-of-the-line High Country, which means this truck was loaded when it left the factory — leather seating, premium tech, and serious towing capability all come standard at this level. At just under 120,000 miles, a well-maintained Silverado with the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 is still well within its working life. These engines routinely reach 200,000 miles or more with regular oil changes and basic upkeep, making this truck a smart long-term investment for Kern County drivers.

2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's legendary EcoTec3 5.3-liter V8 — an engine that produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque in standard configuration. Paired with a heavy-duty 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, this drivetrain delivers confident, smooth power delivery whether you're merging onto Highway 99 or hauling a load across the desert heat of the San Joaquin Valley. The 6-speed HD automatic is tuned for durability under towing and payload stress, which matters for buyers who plan to put this truck to actual work. Running in 2WD keeps fuel economy in a reasonable range for a full-size V8 truck, and around Bakersfield's predominantly flat terrain, rear-wheel drive is more than adequate for most daily driving needs.

Towing and Payload

With the 5.3L V8 and properly equipped, the 2017 Silverado 1500 is rated to tow up to 11,500 pounds and handle a payload over 1,700 pounds. Whether you're trailering equipment out to the oilfields, hauling hay bales through the ag country around Shafter or Delano, or towing a weekend toy out to Isabella Lake, this truck can handle the task without breaking a sweat.

Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Features and Interior

The LTZ trim is where the Silverado 1500 stops being just a workhorse and becomes a genuinely comfortable daily driver. Crew Cab configuration means four full-size doors and a rear seat with real legroom — ideal for families or crews who need to carry passengers without compromise. Standard LTZ features on this generation typically include leather-appointed seating, a heated driver and front passenger seat, power-adjustable driver's seat, Bose premium audio, Chevrolet MyLink infotainment with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth, and a rearview camera. The interior quality at the LTZ level is noticeably upscale for a pickup, with soft-touch surfaces, chrome accents, and thoughtful storage throughout the cabin. The 5 3/4-foot bed hits the sweet spot for most truck buyers — long enough to haul standard materials and sheet goods, compact enough to navigate tight parking lots and job sites.

Chevrolet Silverado Reliability and Ownership

The EcoTec3 5.3L V8 has one of the strongest reliability track records of any modern truck engine. It features Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation), direct injection, and continuously variable valve timing — but despite the added technology, these engines age well in the real world. The K2XX Silverado generation earned strong reliability ratings from J.D. Power and has a deep parts network that keeps maintenance costs predictable and affordable. At this mileage, a pre-purchase inspection is always a smart move, but buyers of well-maintained examples routinely report owning these trucks well past 180,000 to 200,000 miles without major mechanical issues. Common ownership advice: stay current on the AFM lifter system with quality oil, keep the transmission fluid fresh, and inspect the brake lines periodically — that's about as complicated as it gets with these trucks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ a good buy?

Yes — the 2017 Silverado 1500 LTZ is widely considered one of the strongest values in the used full-size truck segment. The LTZ trim brings near-luxury features while the EcoTec3 5.3L V8 is one of the most proven and reliable truck engines available. Buyers looking for capable, comfortable, long-lasting trucks consistently rank the K2XX Silverado among the top choices in its class.

How many miles is too many on a 2017 Silverado 1500?

With the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, 117,000 miles is far from the end of the road. These engines are well-documented to last 200,000 miles or more with proper maintenance. The key factors are service history, fluid changes, and how the truck was used. A highway-driven, regularly serviced example at this mileage is often a better buy than a lower-mileage truck with a neglected maintenance record.

What does the LTZ trim include on a 2017 Silverado?

The LTZ is the second-highest trim in the 2017 Silverado 1500 lineup. It typically includes leather-appointed seats, heated front seats, power-adjustable driver's seat, an 8-inch MyLink touchscreen, Bose premium audio, a rearview camera, chrome appearance packages inside and out, and enhanced safety features. It's a significant step up from the LT in terms of comfort and technology.

Is a 2WD Silverado okay for everyday use in Bakersfield?

Absolutely. The Bakersfield and Kern County area is predominantly flat terrain with mild winters that rarely produce snow or ice at valley elevation. For most local buyers — including those who work in agriculture, construction, or oil and gas — a 2WD Silverado provides all the capability they need on a daily basis, with simpler drivetrain maintenance over the long haul.

What should I check before buying a used Silverado with over 100k miles?

Focus on the transmission fluid condition and service history, the AFM lifter system (listen for any ticking at startup), the cooling system for any signs of leaks, and the brake lines. A quick inspection by a trusted local mechanic can give you confidence before you sign. At Prestige Auto Sales in Bakersfield, you're encouraged to inspect the vehicle thoroughly — that's a good sign.
