  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Honestly just hoping this gets rid of the annoying pop up to introduce myself!

Shopping around and considering a Telluride SX-P vs a Grand Cherokee Summit.
 
Welcome. I hope you learn enough on here about the Telluride to help you in your decision. For those of us on this forum, there isn't much debate!

Thanks!

Looks like availability/timing/willingness to pay full MSRP may be the biggest factors!

I waited 10 months, but got Costco pricing, paid just a little over dealer invoice. So getting it well under MSRP was worth the wait. The whole Covid thing was the real delay, but that wasn't Kia's fault.

If you are going to order thru a dealer find out how many orders with your trim level are ahead of you and ask what that dealership's Telluride allotment is every month. That will give you an idea how long you will have to wait.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad to see you're shopping for a new Telluride! What might the Telluride be replacing for you? I'm glad you found us. :)

Thank you for the tips!

This will be replacing a 2018 Jeep Cherokee Overland - coming off lease and time to replace.

One concern is the towing capacity, the competition is a Grand Cherokee which comes in at 7,500 lbs towing vs the 5,000 for the Telluride. Love the looks of the Telluride, though.

5K lbs towing is right at the limit for what we need - so a bit of a teeter-totter for us.
