Ah, the popular Telluride - not just an SUV, but a vehicle with a history as rich as its features. My husband swears by it, and being 6'1, he's found his comfort zone in this ride. Curious about his enthusiasm, I asked him what makes the Telluride his favorite. His response? It's all about how I feel behind the wheel.
According to him, the A/C and heating vents are positioned with the precision of a maestro, ensuring optimal comfort. The front grille, he notes, strikes a perfect balance between class and boldness, while the wheels add that cool factor. And here's a nugget for some - the Telluride boasts self-leveling rear suspension and all-terrain tires, making it a standout on any road.
As for me, I'm all about practicality and convenience. Three rows of seating are a game-changer, and the storage pockets behind the driver and passenger seats? Genius. There's even a hook above the elastic pouch, tailor-made for those cross purses or string bags. The phone charger with its lightning bolt icon? A convenient touch that keeps me powered up and my eyes on the road. And let's not forget the third-row seating - a breeze to manage with a generous and strong "string" that even gym-averse arms can handle.
What's truly impressive is that the Telluride doesn't nickel and dime you for extras. Those amazing features that usually come with a hefty price tag on other SUVs? They're all part of the package here. Safety features and driver-assist goodies abound, ensuring a secure and confident journey every time.
USELESS TIDBIT
Now, let's dive into a bit of history. Did you know that the name "Telluride" has roots dating back to 1887 in Colorado? Originally named to distinguish itself from another mining town called Columbia, California, Telluride took its moniker from the element tellurium, known for indicating gold and silver lodes. A fascinating twist - it's more than just a ski resort!
And as the Telluride keeps evolving, it remains surprisingly affordable. It's got me thinking - could our next SUV be a Telluride? After all... all inclusive !!!!
