I just bought my wife a 2020 Telluride SX Prestige AWD in Dark Moss. We love it so far...I came here to look for advice on the best upgrades and mods that yall suggest.

On my list of things to do:
Lamin-X gunsmoke head/tail light films, yellow fog films
Ceramic Tint
Paint correction/ceramic coating
Roof bars
Tow hitch/wiring (factory look)
LED reverse lights
WeatherTech mats

What else are your must have upgrades/mods? I am considering a mild lift and larger tires, but I want to see how we like it just the way it is, because it looks pretty good just as it sits...

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on the new Telluride! I'm glad you found us. What did the Telluride replace for your wife?

As far as mods go, there's all sorts of odds and ends like emblems, steering wheel overlays, and wheel center cap overlays available here:

We didn't really replace anything...just added it to the stable. We had a 2008 Pathfinder years ago, but it was time to add another road trip vehicle for soccer tournaments and vacations.
The Kia is now alongside a 2008 GMC Sierra 4x4, a 2006 Jeep Wrangler LJ, and a 1999 Honda Accord beater with 300kmi.

Nice collection! That Honda will probably stick around a good bit longer. They're very reliable vehicles...

I'd avoid the lift and the tires unless your just burning to do it. The more I modified cars and then sold them, the more I made sure my next car came with these standard. I've spent/wasted a lot of money on modifications in the past but I am always turning over cars in 3-4 years so I might be different. You have a Jeep and this car will never have the off road abilities these cars have so the lift and wheels, hmm. Everything else is easily reversed so no problem. I actually have a 2020 SXP Moss Green also like the pic. I did add the factory hitch and harness and it was a breeze to install if you can find one. The harness is available on etrailer for the 4 pin. Did the LED lights for the back ups and license plate. Have the cross bars and the weathertech mats which I like because the cover so much more of the carpeting then the factory ones. Keep checking your rear wheel drive functioning. My AWD coupler starting to go around 50k and was replaced under warranty but I think this is going to be a problem with all of them.

Thanks for all the insight. The thought I had behind the lift was that my wife likes to ride a little bit higher...definitely not for any off roading, but you make some good points and I am probably going to try to steer her away from that. Do you have the factory trim panel for your hitch as well? I would like to have the 7 pin connector just in case. I have a truck for real towing applications, but if I need to move something in a pinch that would be nice to have. I have seen the full kits with the 7 pin on ebay, but not with the factory trim panel. What does checking the AWD entail? I definitely want to stay on top of that...and I still have the remainder of the 10yr/100kmi powertrain warranty, so hopefully that would be covered if needed.
