Canadian 2021 Telluride

They streak quite badly for brand new wipers.

I had an issue but I think its because the defroster design it does not hit the passenger side very well. So the glass stays cold and ice builds on the passenger side blade

Ah, I haven't experienced this. Good to know with winter coming.

Hope Canada isn't getting shafted. I'm on West Coast and in similar boat. Highly interested in a Telluride, would really prefer the 2021 model based on what I've read here in terms of improvements for year two. I'm guessing most dealers have no clue what they are talking about (not all their fault - probably so much up in the air currently). My dealer couldn't even get their act together on arranging a proper test drive last week, so I wouldn't trust much of what they tell me until the dust settles.

Same here in Montreal, dealers are a different bread.... I finally foud a dealer that was intelligent enough to let me deive one and we bought it the the next monday. They ar ad rare as Popes droppings!!

Undercoating sounds good in theory, but is worth researching. There is a school of thought that says that the standardized rubber/asphalt type coating approach which is often used in fact is a bad thing to do, since over time moisture can penetrate and is trapped between the metal and the coating, and the corrosion is greater than without the coating. Other approaches don't use rubber/asphalt, but instead use a waxy or oil spray film (Fluid Film is one of the more recommended brands). But I think with that latter approach you need to get it done every few years versus a one-time thing with the rubber/asphalt. YMMV. It will be interesting to hear the views of others.

I am coming up 17+ years with a 2003 4Runner with the Canadian winter and salt of Alberta, and the body is still great with no rust - a fair bit of rust on the frame and undercarriage (17+ years duh!), but no holes nor any risk to frame structural integrity, so kudos to Toyota on that front. I did get spray asphalt type undercoating at time of purchase, and most is long-gone, not sure to what extent that treatment contributed to the positive performance on the undercarriage.

I pick up my Nightsky tomorrow in Calgary and first step after is the install of protective coatings and some tinting, and then winter wheels (RTX Najin satin black 18") and tires (Blizzaks 245/60/R18) on Friday at UrbanEx. I'm still on the fence about undercoating, so looking forward to hearing other views, my research continues.

Finally got the email I have been waiting for. The car is finally in, but the dealership now has to order all the accessories and install whatever is required. Planned pick up is in two weeks. I’ll definitely share some pictures when I pick it up.

Just picked this up yesterday and could not have been any happier. Props to Orangeville Kia for an absolutely wonderful buying experience.

Also installed the Kagu floor liners and they are definitely a step above the weathertech that I have owned previously.

Updated the Nav today and like the look. If someone could tell me how to get to the ambient lighting, that would be awesome.

Congrats, I know you have been waiting a while.

From my memory doing it a few days ago to change to Christmas colors...

Press setup (on dash next to the star, not screen) > tap vehicle on screen (should be first one top left) > tap Ambient Lighting (should be last one on the bottom on list), then you still have to tap "Lights" for some reason even though only one option.

SX and SXLNS only. (You have SXLNS so no issues there)

 

[dansta]

Thanks @GreekWiz , I’ll try out those steps tomorrow

Looks great. From receipt of VIN # how long did delivery take? Also where did you buy the Kagu liners from?

So the VIN was only given to me when I was told the car was made, which was mid November. From there it took about three weeks for the car to arrive at the dealership.

The kagu liners were bought from partsengine.ca . The fit and finish is pretty good and if you go to Costco, they are the same “maxpider” mats.

$51,195 MSRP times 12% HST ($6143) = $57,338, plus $200 in fees AC/other fees, and $500 Kia paperwork fees so saving about $1500 ($800 pre fees). Also no Nitrogen/window etching fee which is good.

That said you are probably getting the better deal cause it's the SX, as there tends to be more EX/SX on the lots now than SXL (none) and SXL-NS (rare to none), and it's end of the year so they might be motivated to make a sale for year end and move those models.

I say if you like it, get it,

No harm asking for free front winter mats and a discount on the middle and back, but I would not push it as you probably won't do any better for a few months.

No freight PDI in BC?

No freight PDI in BC?

Good call, that's $2000, I missed that.

I paid $61,000 out the door for my SXL-NS, which is exactly $4500 more retail than he is being quoted for the SX (same exactly difference in MSRP), but we have 7% less tax in Alberta, which is what threw me off.

So considering that $2000 for freight/PDI, that is a good to above decent deal for someone in BC/Ont, etc.

I test drove a SX today. Noticed road noise coming from back as if a window was cracked open.

Funny, when I took a SX out for a test drive (they had nothing else), I also heard noises, but it was like from the tires, or below something.

Can't explain it, like a grumbling sound going down the road, like the tires were scrubbing,

When I got mine, no noise, whisper quiet.
