In other news... 🤦
Maybe it is just me, but I am betting he did not tell the rental company what his plans were for their SUV. 🤷
He was warned.
It does not help that Kia keeps running commercials for its Telluride model featuring locations around Moab, Utah. Such poor advertising gives people the false impression that this AWD car will go where a stock Wrangler, Tacoma, or Bronco might go. HINT: All Wheel Drive is not 4 Wheel Drive --- that's why we call them different names. This KIA is supposed to be a great passenger SUV...but it is NOT, in any way, a 4x4 off-road vehicle.
In KIA's defense, this specific incident appears to be a driver-related issue, not a vehicle-related problem, but it should never have been on that trail.
Remember, friends don't let their city-folk friends simply rent a vehicle, let alone a street rig such as this, and head for such unforgiving 4x4 trails.
I find this funny, but it was only a few inches from being VERY serious.
UPDATE: It was removed about 4:30 the next evening.
Wheel Safe!!
