Self Leveling Rear Suspension

[G-657069]

Not a major issue. Take delivery of this vehicle. It may cost just a bit more, you can add the hitch - see how the vehicle performs without the selff leveling shocks - and add the Nivomat (self leveling) shocks if you'd like at a later date. It would require changing out the rear springs and spring seats as well.. Owned my SX-P fwith tow for 27 months. Don't do too much towing. Nivomat shocks failed. Was tired of the poor ride and rear sag that never corrected once underway. Had my dealer remove and replace with standard rear suspension setup. Much better. Search the forum for more on Nivomat shock issues and multiple points of view.

Enjoy the ride.

My dealer stated my Telluride came in today. However, one option was not on it was the towing package. I had specifically ordered that option for various reasons. However, the dealer states they can add the tow hitch but can’t of course add the self leveling option. My question is for those of you that added the tow hitch have you noticed any issues with it not being level with a significant load? Is it a requirement? For the those that have the self leveling rear suspension were you glad to have it or is it not worth the additonal cost? I‘m waffling whether accept the vehicle and have them add the tow hitch or just wait for another one. I appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks!

Don't do the self leveling shocks. They are having issues and the parts are hard to get!

I tow an 18 foot center console Grady White, and ordinary notice a difference with the towing package. obviously I don’t know what it is like to tow my boat from a Telluride without the self leveling suspension. But I feel it is a ositive necessity for me towing my boat. I did have to have one shock replaced at about 67,000 miles. Since it was cracked, and the other one was not, my dealer did replace both rear shocks under warranty. I’m just over 120,000 miles now and I’ve had no issues at all. I’m satisfied with the towing suspension package.
