Crucial Towing Tips For the Kia Telluride
Ensure your Telluride is equipped with the factory tow package which includes a self-leveling rear suspension to manage tongue weight.
Keep the gross trailer weight under 3,800 lbs to leave a safe margin for family passengers, coolers, and cargo inside the vehicle.
Use a high-quality brake controller; unibody crossovers rely heavily on active trailer braking to stop safely in wet conditions.
Do not exceed the Telluride's maximum tongue weight of 500 lbs to prevent rear suspension bottoming out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Kia Telluride tow a travel trailer?
Yes, a Kia Telluride can safely tow lightweight travel trailers, teardrops, and pop-up campers. Choose a trailer with a dry weight under 3,500 lbs (such as a Scamp 13' or Taxa Outdoors Cricket) to ensure a comfortable safety buffer.
Does the Kia Telluride need a brake controller?
Yes, for any trailer over 2,000 lbs, operational trailer brakes are required. Since the Telluride does not feature a factory dashboard controller, wireless options like the Curt Echo are highly recommended.
