I will make this short and sweet, I did not buy the Telluride to take it off road. It is really nice to have the all wheel drive for those infrequent snow days in TN., But let's be honest the Telluride is not Jeep Rubicon and for this I am grateful. On those eight hour drives on I-40 from TN., to TX., I am thankful for the soft comfortable ride the Telluride delivers. This car gets an A+.
