    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...

Hi there from Canada!

My name is Simon, I'm 40 y.o. and working as IT expert for 20 years now. I just traded up my 2020 RAM 1500 DT (new gen) with the V6 3.6L engine for a 2021 Kia Telluride SX which is the trim just before the highest in Canada (remember the trims are completely different between US and Canada). I own if for 3 days only and already love it very much. Obviously owning a RAM 1500 pickup truck means A LOT of performance/drivetrain/suspension modifications options which is not the case for the Telluride at the first glance. I haven't plenty on my RAM before trading it for the Telluride, except for a full Magnaflow catback exhaust and few goodies like that. Here's my old truck :

I ended up trading my one year old RAM 1500 pickup for that pretty large SUV because I had a stunning trade-up price for the RAM and because I originally purchased the RAM as a family vehicle only (I have two teenagers and my wife) and I never put anything in the truck bed other than my grocery at Costco! So overall a pretty large SUV is a better option for me than the pickup truck. Here's my Telluride now :

Nice Telly !!

Too bad Kia doesn't put the amazing black SX wheels on the Canadian SX trims

I agree, the US black wheel look sick as hell. However I am not too much disappointed with my factory wheel that perfectly match the brushed aluminium grille and trims on the Canadian SX. :D
