    How much horsepower would make you happy?

    A single turbo would provide a lot more torque at a lower RPM. I don't really care about the hp# but rather throttle response. I picked 350 in the poll. My '15 Genesis H Trac AWD with the same engine, transmission, similar AWD and weight to the KT is very good albeit with 311hp. It's quick but...

    No confidence in Kia Telluride for Towing

    Good point that I hope most tow people would know. Good info, knowledge is power. As I read this, then four 200 pound guys without luggage would result in a reduced 4200 tow capacity. Of the few I know who tow, I know of no one who calculates people and luggage as part of the tow capacity but...

    No confidence in Kia Telluride for Towing

    I'm not disagreeing with you. I am familiar with other tow options elsewhere and several include more for $800, that's all. Certainly Kia is smart enough to rate the vehicle as it sees fit and include what they will and all of us could just be quiet. That wouldn't be any fun though.

    No confidence in Kia Telluride for Towing

    Sounds like they should have rated at 3500 rather than 5. The tow package for $795 really should include everything to tow 5000 pounds including the trans cooler and 7 pin even if they can be added relatively inexpensively later. I agree, for serious towing, a Ram or Suburban would be far...

    No confidence in Kia Telluride for Towing

    Wow. I agree that doing your research before purchase is smart and something many don't do. It's unfortunate that the KT cant meet your needs or the needs or anyone who needs tow upwards of 5,000 pounds. Anything can tow a mini U Haul pod. I opted for the tow package mainly for the hitch and...

    Torque requirements

    I’ll add, in all my years of re checking torque, I’ve never had to make an adjustment. Additionally, a range of 79-94 is very odd. Of the owners manuals that mention it, I’ve never seen a range. All manuals I’ve ever seen state a single number When I get a KT and rotation is needed, I’ll set my...

    Torque requirements

    Nearly all tire shops recommend a recheck of torque after 50-100 miles. Head guy at one shop told me it’s really to scare the workers to make sure they don’t leave any loose lug nuts. Happened to my dad and brother. Both could have crashed. Be that as it may, if you re torque yourself, it...

    Telluride wrap in satin nardo grey,chrome delete, smoked letters, badge replace, wheels and tires, fog lights

    Nice work. Looks beautiful. My buddy wrapped his Tesla X in satin matte black. Wrap is a brilliant alternative to paint. It ran him $2K.
