aftermarket towing package for 2025 Telluride LX?

[JeroZero]

We're thinking of buying a 2025 Telluride LX which we'll regularly use for towing. As I understand it, Kia only offers towing package for the higher trims but that will cost us $10,000 more. Are there aftermarket towing packages available and how much would the upgrade usually cost? If anyone knows about it and its real-world performance, please drop a message. Or should we just go for the higher trim and get the towing package straight from the dealer? I'd appreciate insights.

If towing is a regular thing for you getting the higher trim with the factory tow package is the easiest and most reliable option even if it costs more upfront. Aftermarket hitches are cheaper and can work well but they usually dont include features like self leveling suspension that come with the dealer package. If youre okay with some DIY and don’t need all the extras aftermarket kits are a solid budget friendly choice..

Whoa, holdup, $10 for the towing package? Are you sure you got that right? There's no way something like that costs 1/4 of the entire vehicle.
