If you're searching for a capable, full-size SUV that can handle everything from Yakima Valley road trips to mountain passes in the Cascades, this 2016 Chevrolet Suburban LTZ Sport Utility 4D for sale at Own A Car Yakima in Yakima, WA is worth a serious look. Priced at $20,999 with 126,723 miles, this brown Suburban LTZ represents one of the best values in the used full-size SUV segment — combining genuine luxury features with the workhorse capability this nameplate has been known for over decades.

About This 2016 Chevrolet Suburban LTZ

The 2016 model year sits in a sweet spot for the Suburban. It carries the K2XX generation platform introduced in 2015, which brought significant weight reduction, improved fuel economy, and a more refined interior compared to its predecessor. At 126,723 miles, this Suburban is well into its working life, but owners and mechanics consistently report that a properly maintained Suburban with a 5.3L V8 can push well past 200,000 miles without major mechanical drama. This is not a vehicle that ages poorly — it's one that rewards buyers who understand long-term value.

The exterior brown finish gives this Suburban a distinctive, upscale look that stands out from the typical black or white full-sizers you'll find on most lots. If you're hauling kids, gear, or clients around Yakima, Selah, or up toward Ellensburg, this LTZ trim ensures you're arriving in style.

2016 Chevrolet Suburban Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's legendary EcoTec3 5.3-liter V8 engine, paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, sending power to all four wheels. This combination produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque — more than enough to tow up to 8,300 lbs when properly equipped.

What makes the EcoTec3 generation particularly impressive is its Direct Injection and Active Fuel Management technology, which allows the engine to deactivate four cylinders during light-load highway driving. Real-world drivers typically see 15–18 MPG on the highway, which is genuinely respectable for a vehicle this size. The 4WD system adds confidence when navigating icy roads on Highway 12 toward White Pass or heading into the Yakima River Canyon in changing conditions.

The 6-speed automatic shifts decisively and holds up exceptionally well at high mileage when transmission fluid services have been maintained on schedule.

Chevrolet Suburban LTZ Features and Interior

The LTZ trim is where the Suburban transitions from capable truck to genuine luxury vehicle. Expect premium leather-appointed seating, a heated steering wheel, power-adjustable pedals, and a Bose premium audio system that makes long drives toward the Tri-Cities or over Snoqualmie Pass genuinely enjoyable.

Technology and Convenience

The 2016 Suburban LTZ comes equipped with Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system with an 8-inch color touchscreen, Apple CarPlay compatibility, Bluetooth connectivity, and available navigation. The instrument cluster includes a Driver Information Center that gives you real-time data on fuel economy, tire pressure, and vehicle diagnostics at a glance.

Space and Versatility

Three rows of seating accommodate up to nine passengers, and the second and third row seats fold flat to open up a massive cargo area. Whether you're loading up for a camping weekend at Bumping Lake, hauling gear for a youth sports team, or picking up furniture around Yakima, this Suburban handles it all without asking you to compromise.

Chevrolet Suburban Reliability and Ownership

The Suburban's reputation for reliability is not just marketing — it's decades of real-world proof. The EcoTec3 5.3L V8 is widely regarded as one of the most bulletproof truck engines GM has ever produced. Common ownership experiences include very few surprise repair bills when routine maintenance is followed, particularly oil changes, transmission fluid services, and spark plug replacements around the 100,000-mile mark.

Known items to watch on this generation include the AFM lifter system, which some high-mileage owners have addressed through routine maintenance or an AFM delete. The air suspension (if equipped) and the infotainment system are the two areas most commonly flagged in owner reviews. At this price point, the remaining value and usable life in this Suburban far outweigh the typical ownership concerns.

Chevrolet's parts availability is excellent, and independent mechanics throughout Yakima County are very familiar with servicing these trucks, keeping long-term costs manageable.
