Are those OE wheels? I'm guessing CPO/pre-owned, since it doesn't have the new huge KIA emblems.

Nice! Probably the best mainstream SUV on the market right now.

Hi all! sorry I'm just getting back to this now. So I bought it new (2021 model) and I've already upgraded a few things here and there rebadged, various LED upgrades & aftermarket wheels (some things from my Acura days never change)

I absolutely love this thing. Just had a baby 2 months ago, so it was time to expand. 8 seats + AWD was the requirement and the reviews on this SUV were unbelievable. I can vouch for the ride quality and all the safety features, she is a monster...I'm throwing bikes and strollers, and 6 adults in this thing no problem.

Nice ride. Really love what Kia/Hyundai are doing. My brother has a Palisade and he loves it.
Definitely on the short list when the Explorer becomes too much of a maintenance headache.

Nice Telly. we have an EX Nightfall in Gravity Gray that my wife drives and I've been going back and forth on the running boards. I like the look of them, but since it's pretty easy to get in and out of already, I'm not sure if its necessary. How do you like them?

I actually like them a lot. Both visually and functionally, they really help to get in and out of the vehicle comfortably. My wife kept banging her crotch when she jumped in until I told her to use them

The Ascent? I really liked driving that, and it nearly fit all my needs. My biggest concern was the reliability of it. It had horrible reliability reviews. If that's what you got, I hope you got a good one.

Yep. So far so good, have just over 5k on it and no issues at all. Had an Outback before this for 3 or 4 years and had no issues with that either.

Whats up with RDX owners?

Congrats! I love the Telluride. I'm trying to get my fiance out of her CRV and into one but dealers aren't budging on pricing.

Thanks! No, they really weren't. I felt "fortunate" that I "only" had to pay 3k (dealer markup) over MSRP, but this was mitigated a bit because this was one of the few dealers that actually let me put in a custom order for exactly what I wanted (my configuration was not common), and other dealers had 5k markups.
