Welcome to the forum @DHamilton23! That's a really nice color combination you went with! Aside from the price, is there anything in particular that made the Telluride stand out for you compared to the Tahoe?
New from Houston, TX
Hi, my name is David and I live in Houston, TX. My father-in-law owns a ‘17 Sorento, and he’s a big car guy who loves to research cars. When we told him we were looking to buy a vehicle, he suggested that we look at the Telluride and told us about the ratings & reviews plus Kia’s overall quality and reputation (and warranty).
A friend of mine is the marketing guy for a local Chevy dealership, and I test drove a brand new, ‘19 Tahoe. With the “friends & family” discount, I still would have paid ~$12k more for a new ‘19 Tahoe compared to what we ended up paying for a ‘20 Telluride.
We ordered a Dark Moss SX with Buttersscotch interior, and the floor mood lighting in mid-June from Fort Bend Kia (went outside the city to pay MSRP rather than pay a “market adjustment fee” in/closer to Houston). We were told it would take 3 to 5 months, and it is scheduled to be delivered the end of this month (about 3.5 months).
Very excited!

Welcome!
I know Kia has been playing catch up with demand by ramping up production.
Hopefully your delivery timeline goes by smoothly with no hiccups.

I’m in sales & drive all over Houston for work. My father-in-law’s Sorento has ventilated seats & I borrowed it recently on a very hot & humid day - aka normal summer day here. We’re an extremely tall family & I wanted plenty of leg room in the 2nd row. My father-in-law compared 1st & 2nd row leg room for large SUVs, and put together a list with the US News & World Reports rankings plus the price for the lowest package with ventilated seats. Telluride was ranked #1 and significantly cheaper than the others.
That's what i'm finding as well.I'm in sales & drive all over Houston for work.

Its nearly perfect as far as i'm concerned.
Only change I would like to see are less Escalade front end styling and a hybrid engine option.
I'm noticing SUVs a lot more than I used to before I started shopping for one recently, and the one that I think is a Telluride out of the corner of my eye most often is the Range Rover. I think they look pretty similar from the front. Maybe there just aren't as many newer Escalades around me, but I haven't had that experience with Escalades.That's what i'm finding as well.

I've heard a lot of people say that as well. It's pretty clear where Kia got their inspiration from with the Telluride's design. They did a good job tweaking it with their own style.I'm noticing SUVs a lot more than I used to before I started shopping for one recently, and the one that I think is a Telluride out of the corner of my eye most often is the Range Rover.
