I agree, but based on where that horizontal bar sits behind the bumper fascia, just above the OEM Fog light spot and between the two lower open grill areas right of the license plate, it appears to line up with the mysterious round eyelet looking popout in the Saudi Arabia bumper fascia. Maybe since those Tellurides get sand mode and there is a chance they could get stuck, they have an option to add a tow hook to pull it out of a bad spot without damaging the rest of the front?

Yeah, me too here in Queens. Actually looking for a front bumper guard that extends to the sides. I see them installed in other SUVs. I am not sure if they make it to Tellurides already.

I ordered the Black Horse brush guard for my 2021 telluride. I had to return them because they are designed for the 2020 that comes with an attachment point under the grill. The 2021 does not. The good folks at Black Horse could not figure out a way to attach.Black Horse has both front and rear

I see a lot of options for front protection. I’m curious what anyone has done for the rear. I was thinking of something like this from Black Horse. Has anyone installed something similar and did it affect the rear sensors?

Has anyone tried the Black Horse BLK-CBB-B7502 on their Telluride? If so can you provide pictures?
blackhorseoffroad.com
It's under $300 on some websites and it's the one they make without the skid plate so the bars don't appear to block the radar sensor and they don't block the foglights. I just want to confirm that. Would also be nice to know how it attaches to the frame and how easy it was to install.

But the pictures on all the websites I've found look like they have the bars superimposed on a Telluride picture, not an actual install. So the actual placement of the horizontal bar and the width are probably not real world.
The instructions do appear good but they are computer drawings. https://static.thiecommerce.com/assets/production/CBB-B7502/812b5e4781937fed1b21e5cffc025491.pdf
For those concerned about no front recovery point, pages 2-4 of that instruction show how you might add one yourself. Two problems solved, protect the radiator and expensive parts along with the front fascia and also provide a way to safely get a tow strap attached to get yourself out of a stuck situation.

I like where you're going with this but it may not be compatible because of the front sensors the way it kind of looks like on the website . It would be interesting to see who has installed this and the idea for recovery points I believe also where the mounting hardware would be could interfere with the sensor but again I would like to see someone who has this you may have found an answer to our question we will see.Has anyone tried the Black Horse BLK-CBB-B7502 on their Telluride?

I believe the bars interfere with the sensors on the back as well
I do wonder how much of these mounts could take if you do mount recovery points instead of the bull bar?Has anyone tried the Black Horse BLK-CBB-B7502 on their Telluride? If so can you provide pictures?

Not sure I follow. How different would this grey piece from a recovery point installed by Kia?I like where you're going with this but it may not be compatible because of the front sensors the way it kind of looks like on the website .

The radar sensor is behind that black rectangle in the middle. Other bars go right over it and some even partially cover the foglights. This one appears to be below it. This may even work well for people who are required to have a front license plate because the plates I've see are mounted right above that black rectangle.

I have the Broadfeet bar on mine, mainly just for looks. I would not trust pulling anything from it, not even to stand on it as a step to work under the hood.
I will say that it deflected a roughly 6inch piece of 2x4 driving down the highway. No scratch or dent on bar or telly. Just a loud thud. That alone made it worth it to me.
Also does not block the radar at all.

I agree it looks like a better fit than most of the others I've seen.
Looks like the Front Radar sensor will be fine but I think the problem will be with the front parking distance sensors for the trims that have them.

Cool! The chrome version looks nice and a good choice for your ride.
I saw that the instructions recommend removing the front bumper to install. Did you have to do that?

What I meant to say the design of this mount bracket bends down to where the bullbar would catch you. If someone were to connect it at the bottom instead of cutting through the bumper I'm kidding you're the bumper I'm curious on the strength of that otherwise the bumper would have to be cut for proper recovery points it's to extend but this is a good area I believe for is area ugly for them to be.

Thanks.
No, i was under the impression that blackhorse had to remove the bumper? But that's why i went with broadfeet. It was also only $250 shipped when i got it.
You just have to remove the plastic skid plate. Then the brackets mount up into the frame at two points only. You can leave the skid plate off, or cut it to go around brackets.

I'm still waiting to see this mountain onto one with the front parking sensors.

Thanks for the pictures. Yeah, it installs on a different spot than the Blackhorse one. I can see why you wouldn’t really want to put a lot of weight on it, but it seems adequate for protection against parking dings, etc.

Found it, i knew i read it somewhere: Thread 'Black Horse Max T Bull Bar - $180 - Spanish Fork, UT' FOR SALE - Black Horse Max T Bull Bar - $180 - Spanish Fork, UT
I assume this would apply to any bull bar on a car with front sensors.
Not the same one. That has the “skid plate bars” below and the horizontal bar appears to sit in front of the radar. I think Black Horse calls it the Max Bull Bar. The one that black horse makes that I’m talking about is CBB-B7502 called the “A Bar” without skid plate and it appears to be a different design sitting at a different height.

Looks like most of the Black Horse bull bars install the same way because other than the title page being different it’s still the same instructions as the basic A bar.
Here are the instructions for the bar with the LED light strip and the skid plate as an example: https://static.thiecommerce.com/assets/production/MAB-B7502B/05a2b530d18ce0465eda421a9be280d8.pdf
And here is how this one looks on a Telluride.

Looks like Black Horse took into account the radar box and fog lights. It may have a potential mount for their bull bars that could be strong enough to use as a recovery point and provide added front bumper protection. I might give it a try soon.

What have you done / plan to do to your Telly?
I have put a 2" lift by Truxx and I have put on bull bar with led light bar built in.
