2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 DOUBLE CAB

If you're in the market for a capable, no-nonsense half-ton truck, this 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 LT Double Cab for sale at Turbo Motors in Taylor, Michigan deserves a serious look. With a proven V8 engine, genuine 4WD, and the rugged Z71 off-road package, this is the kind of truck that works as hard as the people who drive it — and at 134,584 miles, it still has plenty of road left ahead of it.

About This 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 LT Double Cab

The 2017 Silverado 1500 Z71 LT sits in a sweet spot for used truck buyers in Wayne County. You get the LT trim's well-rounded feature set — upgraded interior, modern tech, and creature comforts — combined with the Z71's off-road hardware, making this truck equally at home on a job site, a muddy trail, or the Lodge Freeway at rush hour.

With just over 134,000 miles, this Silverado is solidly mid-life for a 5.3L EcoTec3 V8. These engines routinely run to 250,000 miles or more with regular maintenance, so there's real value remaining here. For buyers in the Taylor, Michigan area looking to maximize truck for the dollar, this rig delivers.

2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits GM's 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 — one of the most well-regarded engines in the full-size truck segment. It produces around 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, giving this Silverado a maximum tow rating of up to 11,100 lbs when properly equipped. Whether you're hauling a trailer down I-75 or loading up the 6.5-foot bed for a weekend project, this engine handles it without drama.

The EcoTec3 also features Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation), which drops to four cylinders during light-load highway driving to stretch your fuel economy — an appreciated feature for Michigan drivers covering long stretches between Detroit suburbs and outstate destinations.
 

6-Speed HD Overdrive Transmission and 4WD

Paired with a heavy-duty 6-speed automatic transmission, shifts are smooth and confident under load. The 4WD system is exactly what Michigan winters demand — when the snow piles up in Wayne County and side streets turn to ice, you'll have the traction to keep moving when others don't.

Chevrolet Silverado Z71 LT Features and Interior

The Z71 badge isn't just a sticker. It means this truck left the factory with Rancho shock absorbers, a locking rear differential, hill descent control, and skid plates protecting the underbody. Off-road capability is genuine, not cosmetic.
 

LT Trim Interior and Technology

Inside, the LT trim steps up from the base WT with cloth bucket or bench seating, a power driver's seat, Chevrolet MyLink infotainment with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth, OnStar connectivity, and cruise control. The Double Cab configuration adds a rear seating row with enough space for adult passengers on longer drives — practical for families or crews. The 6.5-foot bed strikes the right balance between cargo capacity and maneuverability around tight lots and neighborhoods.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Reliability and Ownership

The 2017 Silverado 1500 has a strong reputation among truck owners and automotive analysts alike. J.D. Power consistently ranked this generation of Silverado near the top of its segment for initial quality and long-term dependability. The 5.3L EcoTec3 is particularly celebrated — it's been in production for years and has a well-documented track record of durability when routine maintenance (oil changes, plugs, transmission fluid) is kept current.

Common ownership notes to be aware of: the AFM system on high-mileage examples benefits from occasional attention, and it's worth a quick check on the front CV axles and differential fluid — standard due-diligence items on any used 4WD truck with this mileage. Overall, the Gen 2 Silverado (2014–2018) is considered one of the safer bets in the used truck market, with widely available parts and service throughout Southeast Michigan.
