    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...

Hello Everyone,

After a LONG wait, we finally got our SX Prestige Telluride in Dark Moss with Dune Brown Interior. Long story short, we placed our order back on March 29th and waited, waited, until finally we got it on Labor Day weekend. Needless to say, we are all excited with our new ride. Our previous ride was a 2012 Explorer, which after our experience with Ford, will never go back. We paid 51,785 after fees, taxes, etc. We financed thru Kia Motors and sadly did not get any incentives. I was a member of the Kia Telluride Founders Club, but the dealership did not want to honor it. I contacted Kia directly and they are going to be honoring the coupon for covering the first months payment even though it had expired. (Kudos to Kia for coming thru on that) We couldn't be happier with all the features this car has. Everywhere we go, we get stopped as people want to know what it is and want to take a closer look. As far as accessories, we placed an order for the Carbon Fiber look Kia logos and will probably tint the front two windows to match the rest of the car along with blacking out the "TELLURIDE" letters. Down the line, we will get a tow hitch (only for a bike rack, don't do any towing of sorts) and an all-weather mat for the cargo area. Thanks to all the members of this forum for all their insights and info!

Beautiful family.
 
First wash and wax followed by nano ceramic coating via Chemical Guys products. Also installed the K Lexus front logo but had trouble getting the rear one off, so i didn't get to that one

Congrats of the purchase! Great looking family and you're a Giant. Go big Blue.
 
UPDATE:

Took our Telluride for its first dealer service visit. It had 4752 miles. While there, they also completed two service campaigns. One for a look hook on the rear door visors. They replaced all four. Apparently its something others have had. The other service campaign they completed was regarding upgrading the software because of Bluetooth issues. I noticed the dealership used a 5w-30 synthetic blend motor oil. Wondering if anyone is using anything different?
