2017 GMC SIERRA

If you're in the market for a capable, well-equipped full-size pickup, this 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT for sale at H&L Auto Sales in Savannah, GA deserves a serious look. White exterior, automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, and powered by GMC's proven 5.3L V8 — this truck checks the boxes for buyers who want dependable performance without the new-truck price tag. At 129,420 miles, it's broken in but far from done, and it's priced to move for buyers throughout Chatham County and beyond.

About This 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT

The Sierra 1500 SLT sits in the sweet spot of GMC's lineup — above the base trims but without the premium sticker of a Denali. That means you get a genuinely loaded truck at a price that makes sense for real buyers. This particular unit wears a clean white finish that looks sharp against the Sierra's bold, squared-off body lines, and the automatic transmission makes daily driving effortless whether you're hauling through downtown Savannah or heading out on a longer run. At this mileage, a truck with proper maintenance history has plenty of working life ahead of it — the Sierra 1500 platform is well known for reaching well over 200,000 miles with routine care.

2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Sierra is powered by the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, one of the most respected engines in the full-size truck segment. In the 2017 model year, this engine produces around 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque — numbers that translate to confident towing capacity in the range of 11,000 pounds when properly equipped. The paired automatic transmission shifts smoothly and includes GM's Dynamic Fuel Management, which deactivates cylinders during light-load driving to help stretch fuel economy on the highway. Running in 2WD configuration, this Sierra is lighter on fuel than its 4WD counterparts, making it a smart choice for buyers in flatter coastal Georgia terrain who don't need off-road capability but do want serious power on demand.

GMC Sierra SLT Features and Interior

The SLT trim level is where GMC starts getting genuinely luxurious. Buyers stepping into this cab will find leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, a premium infotainment system with an 8-inch diagonal color touch screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth connectivity, and a rear vision camera. The Sierra SLT also typically includes remote keyless entry, power-adjustable pedals, a Bose premium audio system, dual-zone climate control, and the signature GMC MultiPro or power-operated rear window depending on cab configuration. The interior ergonomics are intuitive — everything is exactly where a truck driver expects it to be, and the build quality feels a clear step above most competitors at this price point.

GMC Sierra Reliability and Ownership

The 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 benefits from a platform that had been continuously refined since the K2XX generation launched in 2014. The 5.3L V8 and 6-speed automatic combination in this generation is widely regarded as bulletproof when maintained properly. Common owner feedback points to a comfortable ride, a quiet cabin for a truck of this class, and strong resale value retention. Areas to watch at higher mileage — as with any Sierra of this era — include the AFM (Active Fuel Management) system's lifters, so a pre-purchase inspection is always a smart move. Outside of that well-documented quirk, Sierra 1500 owners consistently report low overall maintenance costs relative to the truck's capability and size. J.D. Power consistently rated this generation of Sierra highly for initial quality and long-term dependability.
