Looking to purchase my first Telluride

[nsavoie]

Good morning,

Currently I am a 4Runner owner looking at getting a Telluride. I am a family of 5. 2 adults, and 3 kids. So the Telluride would be roomy. Looking to get racks for the skis and a hitch for the bike rack. Very active family here. The one question I have is, how are the Telluride's in the snow? We like to ski and go during winter storms. The 4Runner is awesome for this, but also tight for a family of 5.

I look forward hearing back from everyone!

Thank you,

Nic

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you found us! Have you test driven the Telluride yet? The 4Runner is a great vehicle, but I have a strong suspicion you will like the Telluride much better. I will let others chime-in in regards to how it handles in the snow...

The telluride is fine in the snow but it’s no 4Runner! Hard to compare a BOF 4WD SUV with a unibody SUV with AWD. The Telluride is probably 7/10ths as capable as the 4Runner in stock form. That being said I’ve never had any real issues with any vehicle on the road in the snow regardless of the drivetrain set up. As long as you have the appropriate tires and you take it easy you should be fine. As far as everything else: interior space, interior quality, comfort, ride quality, gas milage, tech, features, etc. the Telluride is hands down the better family vehicle.
