Welcome @Pradeepadapa !!

AWD SX sound nice. Are you planning to go Prestige Package or not?

What exterior color are you considering?

IF you go Prestige non-Nightfall, may I recommend checking out this thread for the amazing Dune Brown Nappa Leather Seats with the dark dark gray premium cloth microfiber headliner and A-pillars/partial B-pillars

Dune Brown Interior Feedback

Hello! I'm leaning to ordering Boss Moss with Dune Brown Interior...of course I have seen neither in person and am shooting from the hip. Wondering if people could send me pictures if they have this setup or just a rough idea of how they like their interior. I believe @jw_tx21 has this combo...

tellurideforum.org

Accessories?

OEM tow hitch receiver?

Throw us a bone!

Hello Justin, here are the specs I am planning on going with and looking for good dealerships in and around Dallas/Ft worth to get quotes from.

SX AWD, no prestige package
Dark moss, gray leather interior
Mud guards
All weather mats

No accessories

Any recommendations for dealerships?

Hi @Pradeepadapa:

"Good dealerships" is the key phrase.

Can you get to Carrollton easily from the Dallas/Fort Worth area?

If so, perhaps you'd like to talk to @StephenCantrelle over at Classic Kia Carrollton?

When you start digging into this Forum and checking for new posts, you'll eventually see the "Track my vehicle" thread, where Stephen responds to a large volume of requests for ETA updates once your order finally gets picked up by KFOS and you have a VIN number to track

The ordering process can take a while.

It's mostly waiting in a line of customers until dealer allocations for AWD SXs are made available.

Dealerships only get so many AWD SX allocations every mid-month.

If you have the patience, go for it.

You'll end up getting exactly the car you spec'd out with the salesperson.

I waited 3.5 months total from deposit to waiting a couple months, to order finally getting picked-up by KFOS to delivery and driving my baby home!

I filled out an order form in mid-August 2020 and we all waited until I moved up the line, until finally in November, I was next in line when the Kia Forward Ordering System (KFOS) accepted the order and then things moved rather quickly from Kia posting my VIN to delivery on December 1st, finalized everything and drove off the lot December 2nd

Any other questions?

Don't hesitate to ask us anything!

Justin,

I am going with Huffines Kia of Corinth and the dealership has minimal fee and reasonable fee for Title and Registration and no markup !! I sent in the Telluride Acknowledgement form signed and it will be ordered tomorrow. I will just have to wait for it to go through and wait in line like you did. I am excited about the new Telluride !!.

Thanks,
Pradeep Adapa
