2:31 - did that WHOLE button panel just move back when you pushed the camera button??? Not the quality you'd expect!

None of these three contenders are perfect. What's the most important quality to you in a three-row SUV? Let us know in the comments!

Great review, lots of information and clean accurate explanation. You are the only one of the other hundred of others on the internet and the millions that buy the Honda that chooses the Ford over the Honda and Telluride.👍

The one thing I'd appreciate from reviewers is cabin sound decibel when the car is going 60 on the highway. It's difficult to tolerate driving long distances with a family in a loud cabin. Of course, we can all determine this on test drives, though the reviewers who do give decibel scores make it helpful to weed out choices.

I remember being sold on my 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 for the dash space. Hell of a car.

We bought a 2024 Kia Telluride EX. Our first Kia...so far so good.
