My f150 was totaled and leaning towards a telluride with the prices of trucks now….

Anyone have a contact that's easy to work with?

Or any reason to not go with the telluride? Overall, everything I see is positive, with this exception of no wireless Apple CarPlay.

Palisade is similar and I have wireless car play on the Caligraphy trim.

Wait what? I didn't think that was available on Palisade yet. I know for sure wireless Android Auto isn't there.

Right now wireless CarPlay is only in 2025 Calligraphy trim levels. Hyundai is going to send an over the air update so that all 2025 trim levels will have wireless CarPlay and Android Auto

They need to do that for 2024 models too. I have the same one Dubi does. Wireless Android would be excellent.

Hung Pham, Internet sales manager at Joe Myers Kia. He will provide a drive-out price quote without gimmicks or pushy sales tactics. I didn't buy from him because I ultimately went with a different make of car but he was great to deal with.

I hope your Kia service department is better than ours. Love the vehicle but would probably not buy it again if totaled dude to service experience.

Honestly this is kind of what I'm most worried about. And other unknowns, to me at least, like depreciation, quality, etc.

But not like the Ford service department was great......they take a week to even look at a car.

The Palisade had wireless CarPlay and AA as far back as 2021… but only on the lower trim models with the 8" screen and no factory navigation.

I haven't bought from him, but he's my neighbor and seems like a really good guy.

I have a 2021 Telluride that has been a great vehicle. Plan to trade it in when 2026 Tellurides come out.

I do not. We met in person multiple times. I've got his cell number but won't post it here.

Call the dealership and ask for him.

When we bought our telluride everyone within about 1 hour from Houston had market adjustments and other fees. The only dealership we could find that didn't was Fort Bend Kia. I thought it was a good buying experience.

I ended up going a different route, so no idea on their experience with the closing of the deal, but parkway Kia in houston was the dealer that was coming off msrp the most for me.

I bought a Telluride from them four years ago and they were by far the most honest and straightforward dealership I've dealt with. Absolutely zero of the typical dealership BS I've dealt with during every other vehicle purchase I've made.
