The Hyundai Santa Cruz - Coolest Looking Small Truck?!?

[@602North]

I just bought one today. I got the XRT…was a hard decision between this and the limited but ultimately I wanted to black front and more “off-road” style. I traded my beloved Gladiator as the prices are dumping on them and I wanted to get out of it while the getting was good. 2 hour drive to the dealership so did have some good seat time. I was getting 15 mpg with the Jeep on the way to dealer. Got 30.6 mpg with the Santa Cruz on the way home. Very comfortable and quiet. I know I won’t be able to take it to the places I took the Jeep but I’m ok with it.

I just bought one. Picking it up tomorrow. Was considering a Maverick but Ford has a winner and they know it. Wouldn't come off the price. This was my 2nd choice but I'm now glad I didn't go with the Maverick.

You will really enjoy this with its Ridgid suspension. Mine has and I'm sure all of these vehicles have self leveling suspension. Enjoy your ride👍👍

Shark like is the perfect description for this thing. It really drives way nicer than any truck I've been in, and for the average homeowner the bed will suffice. Really enjoying these little trucks.

IT DOES HAVE NICE LINES.

I have been wanting one since they came out. I liked the 2024 XRT with side steps and bed rails, with black letters on the tailgate. However, I have a Santa Fe and can carry 8 ft fence posts & even a few 10 ft boards in it. Won't be able to in the Santa Cruz. Plus the mileage ratings are so low. So today I put a deposit on a Kia Sportage Hybrid with 227 hp. 38 mpg and big cargo area. Same price as a Santa Cruz. Maybe a used Santa Cruz is in my future. Wonder if they will do a hybrid to compete with Ford Maverick.

I like it but the bed is just a bit too small.
