Sources could be wrong, but many reports state that Kia cannot keep up with the demand on the Telluride. Just last week, there was an article about Kia increasing production by an additional 100,000 units per year for Telluride. This monthly number appears soft, but I believe that both the Telluride and Palisade are simply limited due to supply constraints.
