Pulling a camper

[Jeffingeorgia67]

Hello, we're about to buy a camper and we plan to pull it with our 2020ex FWD. The Trailer weighs about 4k and the dealer wants to add sway bars to my vehicle. Does anybody have experience pulling a camper with a telluride? Will sway bars change the feel of the ride? Thank you.

We have a 2022 Kia telluride awd. I assume you are talking about the camper dealer wanting you to have sway bars? When we bought our camper they highly recommended as do most forums when towing. Sway bars will help the trailer form being squirrly when towing at higher speeds. You really should have it. You will need a trailer brake too. We have a Bluetooth trailer brake. If you don’t already have the tow package installed on your Kia you will need tow hitch added and the wiring harness for a trailer which is a 7 way plug. Etrailers.com had everything I needed.
