Hey y'all. My name is Trenton, I'm 23, and I'm new to the forum here. In late September I bought a 2017 Chevrolet Suburban Premier 4x4 from a dealer in Colorado. It's fully loaded with everything BUT the overhead DVD players. It has cooled seats, sunroof, the cocoa interior, and the max trailer package, which I made sure it had. I bought it with just under 66,000 miles. The previous owner was an older gentleman who gets new vehicles every 5 years, so mine was pretty well maintained.20220927_124248.jpg
Before anyone asks, no, I don't have kids to haul, haha. I'm single and kid-less (unless you count my younger cousins or brothers). I bought this to start a private shuttle service at the ski resort I work at. I also got the max trailering package so I can haul my other vehicles around if need be. Also, I will definitely be taking it down some mountain trails.

I've already installed WeatherTech 1st/2nd/3rd row floor mats the day I bought it. I also already bought Amsoil Signature Series 0w-20 engine oil, (2) EAO17 oil filters, Amsoil Severe Gear 75w90 gear oil for the front and rear differentials, and Amsoil Signature Series Dexron VI ATF for the transmission and transfer case.

Edit:
For the winter season, I'm going to swap out the Michelin tires on it for a set of winter tires, most likely a set of Bridgestone Blizzak DMV2s.

Welcome from Miami Beach&NYC!
Your 2017 Suburban looks to be in brand new condition and well maintained.

I am sure you private shuttle business will do well.

Thank ya very much! I'm doing my best. It was definitely well maintained. The interior was pretty immaculate and had a good set of Michelins on it.

Welcome. Nice ride! Since the maintenance has been kept up, it sounds like you will stick with the same plan and have a good truck for years to come.

I like your pics. I just took my beater Denali out to NM & CO for some off road exploration a few weeks back. These trucks are quite capable for their size. Depending on the terrain and conditions, you may want a more aggressive treaded tire on 18 inch wheels for the bumpy roads. I love Michelin tires for the highway though.......wear like iron.
