I am not sure how Kia came up with the tongue weight on the Telluride, however, I did confirm that the owner's manual for the 2020 model says max tongue weight of 351lbs, and the owner's manual for the 2021 model says max tongue weight of 500lbs as you mentioned. Kia just states that the 2021 Telluride has enhanced towing capabilities and also was upgraded to a 7 pin trailer connector.
It sounds like you plan to do some towing. No matter which model year you have, you can install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e45ZR. This is a popular yet economical option that will have more than enough towing capacity for the Telluride.
