2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

[clow]

Awesome news today from my dealer! I have a confirmed order from Kia with an ETA of 2/20!!!! I'm so excited!!!

I just went to the Kia Telluride Builder for my trim and it appears the base price went up $200.

I have come to expect annual increases by Kia in January, last year ( Jan 2022), it was $500 across all trims.

now if we can only get a hitch update along with that price increase..

Yea I'm seeing a $230 increase on an SX Xline.

Just got my Telluride today and poked a hole in the foil covers in an attempt to screw in temporary plates before I realized I had the wrong screws. Then I dropped it off at the detailer. I have some new car paranoia, am I gonna get water trapped in the tail gate through the punched foil sticker or does the tail gate have weep holes?

Ordered EX on 10/26/22; took delivery on 12/31/22. Mahalo to Peter Martino and the team at Aloha Kia Leeward! It is living up to all expectations!!

I did find weep hole plugs. I removed them for a bit as a precaution. Can anyone comment on (and add to or eliminate my paranoia) if this is sufficient to let out any extra water of if I need to remove the interior tailgate panel?

Congratulations! You ordered yours the same day I ordered mine and mine has yet to be picked up :-( Here's hoping

It has been a bit slower than I hoped considering we were either #2 or #3 for this model at our dealer. Hope yours's comes in soon!

On Failcat, the only XP model listed in the search function is XP-SX-P. There isn't an XP-SX listing so it must not exist.

Purchased a 23 sx pro for just under 52 (msrp)

When I said the above statement, the SX-XP wasn't listed as an option on Failcat. It is now an option.

Another brother from a different mother. Maybe I'll cruise over and visit someday. I'll probably have to leave Telly at home though.

First post - thanks for all the great info here. I randomly decided to check in with my dealer tonight, thinking it was way too early. He said they’re expecting delivery 2/11/23! I’m holding it loosely, but still so excited there’s a date. I don’t see it on Failcat yet, but I assume that will come.

What I came here to share was about the tow hitch discussion. He confirmed the 2023s are not coming with a tow hitch, but said the dealership is contracting with a company to install them after market - both the hitch and the wire harness - and said he’d get me a quote. That was the first I’d heard of a dealership doing that, so thought I’d share. Hopefully more will start doing it. I’m in Colorado - just west of Denver. If you’re interested, I’ll let you know how much the quote is when I get it.

Could you ask your dealer or subcontractor to give you a list of all the parts that they use for the job? I certainly can use that itemized list.

Patience is a virtue?? You are way more patient than I am.
