• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Towing - Anti Sway and Oil Cooler

The Palisade tow package apparently comes with an oil cooler and anti-sway capability. Three questions:

1) Is that an transmission oil?
2) Has anybody confirmed the Palisade wo the tow package has no tranny cooler?
3) Has anybody checked to see if the Telly has no tranny oil cooler?
4) Electronic Anti-sway control is usually programming of the anti-spin/roll control featuresv(for those vehicles without magna ride like shocks). Why would Kia not include this? Odd to me.

Thougths?

Thanks!

I'm fairly certain that all cars (except for air-cooled) have transmission coolers in their radiators. Some tow packages upgrade the transmission coolers since the transmission works harder when towing. Since all trims of the Telluride are rated for 5,000 lbs max towing, I presume the transmission cooler that is present does not need to be upgraded when towing.
As for the Electronic Anti-Sway Control from Hyundai, could that be the same thing with a different name?
For example, Hyundai has Trailer Sway Control, while Kia has something called Trailer Stability Assist.
 
I did a quick feature by feature comparison for all standard safety features and as far as I can tell this is the is how it all lines up comparatively:

Kia Telluride feature compared to Hyundai Palisade feature
  • Electronic Stability Control (ESC) == Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
  • Torque Vectoring Corner Control (TVCC) == Traction Control System (TSC) with Brake Assist (BA)
  • Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) == Hill Assist Control (HAC)
  • Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) == Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
  • Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) == Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
