Any Solutions to Adding Recovery Point/s in Earlier Year Models?

[psanti]

I got a 2020 LX AWD and still asking around if anyone here in Southern CA has added recovery points to a Kia Telluride, specifically, but no one seems to have done so (yet...). Waiting on replies from some shops to see if they even want to attempt it - there is one that did rally mods recently on a 2024 XPro that I'm also waiting to hear back from.

Did a quick search here and looks like the 2023 model has that plastic pop-out in front where you can screw in a tow hook attachment - do other year models have that? Anyone know if that can be replicated onto earlier year models?

I can’t answer your question exactly. I have a 2021 and wondered the same thing. What I ended up doing is installing the oem hitch and buying a hook attachment for this purpose. This can act as a recovery point.

Other than a welded in brush/ bull bar, here’s what someone did:

Eureka.

Anyone have the part number for those tow hooks?

Looks like it’s just the Hyundai part welded on.

Has anyone checked their 2023 or 2024 to see if there is an access panel to insert the tow hook bar. They look like they are threaded and available in some other models

On the front there is a plastic cap on that rectangular silver trim piece toward the right side.

If that is an access point to insert the tow bar then I'd really like to see where Kia put the threaded attachment point.
