Towing Package/ (T) OR (TOW) JUST HITCH None IN FAILCAT IN THE LAST 5,000 VIN'S

Has anyone else noticed the lack of these in failcat? What's up? If you order a towing package good luck.

That’s not accurate. Failcat is not sorting properly when you launch the main page. If you look at the most recent VINs on the homepage, but then re-sort by newest date to oldest, you’ll see them dated today and the last several days, and all throughout May.

For sure a low number or towing production showing in the last week or so.

Not sure that I agree with that statement. It's sorted by descending serial number - VIN's are created sequentially. The date is the date that failcat scraped the data - there is no guarantee that it is scraped in sequence even though they try to and it also depends on when KIA posts online

Kia Telluride US production stats. by trim and colors

The black copper is truly unique....nothing quite like it that I have seen! I would have loved the "dune" color for my interior , but the one coming into my dealer was fully loaded with everything else, so I accepted the black and am VERY happy! Took this photo after I came out of the car...

Telluride VIN Lookup - The History

Phase 1 Early on in the life of this bulletin board, a member - @Michelw , was able to create a spreadsheet of Tellurides produced and was published fairly regularly or as requested. This is still kept up to date today. This data was extrapolated from the Monroney sticker (window sticker) that...

The logic is the go sequentially through the VIN's to see if you get a valid hit. If you do, update the sheet. This is the same as the failcat logic. I'm guessing that there may be supply chain issues with tow equipment.

As per post 3, using that app and working backwards to get the VIN, that should have been generated in April. Probably picked up in May due to the logic of looking backwards and trying to fill in the blanks.

@StephenCantrelle are you guys hearing about a production issue with the tow package, or is it common for Kia to produce large batches at a time with/without certain options?

Kia has been building in blocks/batches on the Telluride since it came out. No word on shortage or delays from Kia on our side
