(Im)patiently waiting

[Kvroom]

Hi Kia people-
New to the site and super excited about the SX prestige moss/dune with tow on order. But instead of being early May it’s looking like July!!
Not sure if I’ll ever really pull a camper because 5k lbs tow capacity goes quickly for a hard side. Not looking for pop ups. Realistically may be 2 years before I’m hauling anyway.
my question: does anyone really tow a camper with telluride? And the roof can’t take a camper on top with ~300lb dynamic weight.
I could 1) take another color and get one with tow in May or 2) get my color combo without tow (hitch can be added later but not sway control). 3) wait until July but I’m buying out of state and it’s a two day drive
My head is spinning. Open to thoughts and advice. TIA

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your brand new Telluride! What will the Telluride be replacing for you? I'm glad you found us.

Thank you. I have a VW Atlas. Total lemon. Should never have bought a first yr model but it’s had the head gaskets replaced 2 separate times and still blows oil. Selling it back to dealer and was hoping to do a clean exchange but looks like I have to wait much longer.

You're talking to a whole bunch of people who have all experienced similar waits (and sometimes much longer). Many of us ordered at the beginning of the pandemic, when things were completely shut down and delivery times were a complete crapshoot. I think the consensus on here is that it's worth it. My advice would be to slow down and think long term. You're probably have this vehicle for awhile ... most of us who ordered decided that getting what we really wanted was important enough that some short-term uncertainty and delay was something we could live with. Of course, only you can really answer that question for yourself. Good luck!

Thank you. We can make it work but it’s my only car so trying to schedule everything. I just wonder if I’ll ever really tow with it.

One thing to consider is how long you plan to own it. These days, it's easily possible for that to be 10 years. That's a long time for uncertainties and really hard to predict. You almost never regret getting what you really want. But whatever you decide, good luck!

Nice choice !!

When you get your Telly, be sure to post some photos of your ride here:

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...

I switched out my order for same color combo without tow. Back to May. I’m giving up the anti sway but I won’t be pulling much anyway...if at all. Will save real towing for a future stronger vehicle.
