New options for EX on the website?

[Faintferret]

Was just browsing at the following link and noticed that the EX is showing Captains Chairs and 20" wheels as an "option" with an O. Is this a new development, a mistake, or just something I've missed elsewhere? I don't see the option to add these things on the "build" site.

They are options. Arriving at some dealers in November...

While 'scraping' data for my Telluride US production stats by trim and colors, I have found the following windows stickers VINs that include an 'EX Premium Package' for $1,495. This new package includes 2nd Row Captain Chairs (2 seats) and 20" Machined Finished Alloy Wheels. These new VINs are brand new and have been generated since October 9th, 2019.

Here are the Telluride window sticker VIN so far with this 'EX Premium Package' option:

Seems like a smart option - will hopefully reduce demand for SX trim - and allow more EX to be made and sold. That trim in AWD was falling between S and SX in terms of production. Bench seats are practical and necessary in some cases, but Captain's Chairs are hot in the US now... I guess that's why they put them in all Explorer trims.

Correction: for total production, popularity is (1) S, (2) EX, (3) SX (4) LX.

The EX trim is currently the 2nd most produced trim model: As of September 30, 2019 the most produced trim models are the following:

S: 14, 608
EX: 12,165
SX: 10,400
LX: 6,349

Oops, I stand corrected. I should have been more clear. I was thinking about only at the AWD stats... where EX fell behind SX - not overall production. The EX has been popular in the Sunbelt as many arrived with FWD.

I wanted other way around - SX with "Non Premium" Seating i.e. with bench in the middle row instead of captain's chairs

Too bad it’s not the black wheels
