What the weight leaves for towing
With a With Towing Package configuration, the 2027 Telluride is rated to pull 5,000 lbs — 1.2 times the 4,343 lbs the heaviest recorded truck weighs by itself, and 1.2 times the 4,343 lbs of the lightest.
That rating belongs to the With Towing Package build, not to every truck on this page: a 4dr SUV starts 0 lbs deeper into the combined rating than a 4dr SUV before a trailer is coupled.
The towing figure on file is for 2027; the weights above are 2026 records.
| Maximum trailer rating | 5,000 lbs | With Towing Package |
| Heaviest recorded truck | 4,343 lbs | 4dr SUV |
| Lightest recorded truck | 4,343 lbs | 4dr SUV |
Front and rear axle loads
At 57/43, the 4,343 lbs puts about 2,476 lbs on the front axle and 1,867 lbs on the rear — 609 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.
Against the rest of the small sport utility vehicle 4wd class
Ranked on the lightest configuration of each nameplate, the Telluride is 79 of 98 in Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, 395 lbs above the 3,948 lbs median and lighter than 19 of its peers.
Curb weight already includes a full tank
The published 18.8-gallon tank holds about 115 lbs of gasoline at 6.1 lb per gallon, and curb weight is measured with it full. Run it to empty and the 4dr SUV is effectively a 4,228 lbs vehicle — 2.6% of the figure quoted above is fuel you will burn off.
Unchanged since 2020
All 7 model years from 2020 to 2026 are filed at 4,343 lbs, so the model year on a listing does not change the figure.

Questions these figures answer
How much does a 2026 Kia Telluride weigh?
4,343 lbs at the curb, the only figure recorded for the 2026 model year.
Does the Telluride's curb weight count against its tow rating?
Yes. The 5,000 lbs maximum applies to the With Towing Package configuration, and the truck's own 4,343 lbs–4,343 lbs is already inside the combined weight the rating assumes. Heavier cab and drivetrain choices eat into what is left.
