Built for Hawkins County Driving

Mt. Carmel sits at the northeastern tip of Hawkins County, adjacent to Kingsport and connected to Church Hill and Rogersville by US-11W. The Telluride handles this corridor with composure whether you are running errands along Main Street, commuting east into Kingsport, or heading west toward Rogersville. The 3.8-liter V6 delivers 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission with Drive Mode Select, providing smooth acceleration for highway merges and steady power for two-lane county roads. Available all-wheel drive adds confidence during winter months when snow and ice reach the Appalachian foothills, and ground clearance of 8.4 inches on standard trims allows the Telluride to handle unpaved driveways and rural roads without concern.

Three-Row Seating and Cargo Versatility

The Telluride's three-row layout seats up to eight passengers in the standard configuration, making it a practical choice for Mt. Carmel families with children, extended family trips, or carpool duties between Mt. Carmel Elementary and activities throughout Hawkins County. Available second-row captain's chairs create a seven-passenger configuration with a walk-through center aisle that simplifies third-row access. When passenger capacity is less important than cargo space, the second and third rows fold flat to create a generous cargo area for hauling supplies, sports equipment, or furniture along US-11W. The Telluride also provides multiple storage compartments and USB charging ports across all three rows, keeping passengers connected on longer drives.

Towing, Trims, and Technology

Most Telluride trims tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, and the X-Pro trim extends that rating to 5,500 pounds with added ground clearance and all-terrain tires. This gives Mt. Carmel drivers the capability to haul boats, campers, and utility trailers for recreation or work across Hawkins County and beyond. X-Line trims add rugged styling and increased clearance for drivers who spend time on unpaved roads, while premium trims provide Nappa leather seating, a heads-up display, and a premium audio system for a more refined cabin experience.

A hybrid Telluride is also available, pairing a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with dual electric motors for approximately 329 combined horsepower and improved fuel economy compared to the standard V6. This powertrain option gives Mt. Carmel commuters who drive daily along US-11W an opportunity to reduce fuel costs without giving up three-row space or towing ability.
