towing

Kia and my Telluride have let me down, forcing me to sell it as it does meet the advertised capabilities. The drivetrain apparently cannot withstand the rigors of towing our camper even though the specifications touted to be able to do so. The Telluride has the factory tow package. We purchased...

We just bought a 2024 EX X-Line and was assured the wiring for a tow hitch was found in the left rear wheelhouse (not sure the exact description). After purchasing, I've been reading on here about all the problems installing tow hitches on the 2023's and the lack of a brake harness. When I...

Are you Pissed off about the X-Pro not being able to tow anything??? Can't get a trailer hitch from anyone and the Dealer didn't offer any help or advice. What's your Experience?

Got a bit of a scare last week.. First time towing my RV trailer with my 2022 Telluride (did it plenty with my previous 2020 Telluride, with the same RV). During the trip back from our vacation spot (a 5-hour drive), the hitch was rather noisy... not that unusual, but enough to make me stop to...

Trying to decide between the S without the package and the EX with the tow package. As I understand it, the tow package only consists of self leveling shocks in the rear. We will be towing a double axle trailer with a CanAm side by side. I think the weight will be less than 4000lbs. We prefer...

Hi! Anyone have any experience towing a camper with your telluride? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Good afternoon, Telluride fans! We ordered our our Telluride on 11/19/21 (SX w/Tow, GWP/Gray) to replace my wife's vehicle. We will be using it to tow our new camper, so we will need to install a brake controller somewhere near the drivers' seat. We looked at wireless brake controllers to avoid...

Disclaimer: describing my own personal experience... results may vary ;) I currently have a Telluride SX Limited Edition AWD 2020 (Canadian version). I ordered it with the tow package and a brake controller (dealer-installed). I also recently bought an RV travel trailer, a Prime Time Tracer...

I have the stock tow package for the 2021 Telluride and I'm wanting to tow a tent trailer and I get level between the car and the trailer best when when I flip the tongue on the hitch and point it up instead of down. I know that you can do this with many hitches, but usually its says right on...

Just did our first trip towing a 20’ R-Pod. Was lucky to get 16MPG. Towed ok, but even with the self-leveling shocks the front end felt a bit lite. Also it gets real “interesting” when there are gusty conditions. Most of the time I cruised at 65mph but there were times the wind in the open...

Hi, I've been looking at guides on towing capacities but it's all a bit much to wrap my head around, I think I might need some input from people who understand the math that goes into it better than I do. I'm hoping to be able to tow a slant-load 2 horse trailer that weighs 1900lbs empty, with 2...

Hi Everyone, We have a 2021 Telluride SX Limited Nightsky and are currently looking at purchasing a used T@B TQ Teardrop Camper. The camper weights 1615lbs empty and has a hitch weight of 145 lbs. The camper also is equipped with hydraulic surge brakes and is equipped with a 7-pin connector...

Hello all, I am about to place order any day and cant decide between tow package or not. I will never tow anything. I need the hitch for bike rack only, i have seen the curt after market hitch which looks simple to install. The only reason I am torn is because of self leveling shocks. we do take...

I have a new 2021 SX Nightfall (Canada), it has the towing package with self levelling suspension. I had a dealer installed hitch and 7-pin brake controller (Primus IQ Electronic Brake Control). Ive read quite a few of the threads on towing and want to make sure I dont buy a lead weight that...

Hi There, I recently bought a 2021 SX Nightfall (Canada) and the dealer could not tell me if it included the self levelling suspension. I read through the manual and could not locate anything on it. The online articles seemed to indicate that all Nightfall packages would have that but they had...

Does anyone already know the work and parts that’ll be used? Can this recall be utilized to install the official 7-way harness that the 21’ model has (I don’t know the part number for this harness BTW, so if anyone knows more details…)

What comes with each of the two options on the EX: $795 Towing package (says it includes self-leveling & hitch) $475 Tow Hitch w/Harness (Non-TWJ) What's confusing me is that the Kia "build" page lets me select both... and happily adds the costs to the vehicle total.

Our family has a old pop up camper we take every few weekends. Usually not further than 2 hours away often much closer. I know the trailer weighs 1600lbs dry. We have it loaded with some gear. I know we are under 2000lbs. I’m curious if others have found a drive mode they prefer when towing or...

Hello - I just got word from my dealer that my 2020 has been 'replaced' with a 2021, and should be on their lot in a few weeks. But apparently the tow package inclusion got lost in the mix, so it is arriving with no tow. We plan to primarily use the tow hitch for a bike rack (6 bikes) and a...

Digging through the forums I haven't found anyone mention which harness they used when upgrading from a 4-pin to 7-blade. I am relatively new to aftermarket upgrades and wanted to check with those more experienced than I before I make a purchase to find out it won't fit. Thanks in advance for...
