Which One? 2024 Ford Maverick vs 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz

[@okbob8147]

The point of these vehicles is to be entry level. Once again, the price creep will take them out of that category in the next couple of years.

[@barbellsjoysticks9802]

Mavericks are 40k+ off the lot at a dealership here in Canada. The greasy scumbag dealers have marked these up higher than anything else they sell. The price creep has already put them out of reach for the average salaried Canadian who wants a vehicle payment that won’t bury them

[@robertbaker3296]

Fact is the santa cruz feels like an Audi or BMW when you drive it. Its not as refined, but its not as expensive either. I bought a Santa Cruz Limited after test driving both an Audi A4, Q5, and a Bmw 3,4,5 series and X3. Its really good.

[@Cayman192]

I bought a 2022 Maverick Lariat and I love it. I can see the Santa Cruz out selling the ranger. The new ranger is just a sporting F150, it's too big. I remember the old Rangers from the 90s and the 2000s being just some cheap small pickup. My maverick side by side a 90s ranger (I parked by a few) and the overall size is comparable minus the bed being shorter to accommodate the bigger cab on the Maverick.

I love the units sold listing that he adds towards the end of the video. It would be cool if it was included with every car reviewed.

[@gummoonamerica]

Purchased 2024 Santa Cruz SEL AWD and 2024 Maverick XL FWD Hybrid and love them both equally for their pros and cons. Paid 30k with discounts on Hyundai and paid 24500 with 2500 rebates snickered 27k on Maverick. Will I buy again? Sure. Had both 5.3 silverado and LM2 silverado and Taco. All has its good, bad and ugly. Get any you will appreciate its price tag. (Just don't get top trim which defeats the Purpose of getting cheaper truck)

[@Nathdood]

The santa cruz drives more like a sports crossover, that also has a bed. Which is why I bought a Night edition. Gives me the sporty-ness but a little bit of utility to go with it. Coming from a compact car, this feels big enough for me. If I managed with a compact sedan, this is going to do me well. A city truck at its finest

[@richardkusimenkah]

The reason the maverick is outselling the ranger is because it doesn't cost an arm/leg and the size of the maverick is what size the ranger was SUPPOSED to be, but just like everything in America it got way to big. In price and in size

[@NoBucks777]

Thanks for the info. Too bad this segment is so limited!

[@xL0stKIlah]

Those wheels on the hyundai are woeful

[@user-ew9pn2ke4o]

that santa cruz look good

[@SaintCyrX]

I own an SC Premium (turbo), absolutely love it. Quick, nimble, unique look, and an open bed for my random messy homeowner tasks or hobbies. That said, IMO the XRT and the boddy cladding accessories look ridiculous. Just walmart auto section glue on gimmicks.

[@jordanimatedstreaming]

4:07 have to get XLT for cruise control to be standard? ridiculous if true.

[@billzkustomz]

Wrong. As of 2023 XL comes with cruise control

[@scupking]

No. The XL has had cruise control for the past 2 years.

[@PatCampbell-vk5ov]

Bought a maverick took it back, bought a cruz, love it.

[@rift0tripper]

Can you tell me why?

[@viper2148]

@@rift0tripper bots don't tell.

[@mushroomcloud1]

Love the reviews. I have a Santa Cruz SEL with the non turbo and the 8 speed non DTC tranny. It is pretty damn nice.

[@johnoberle9750]

The only way I’d buy one.

[@marcosjavier1858]

Maverick made in Mexico 👈🏻🙄 Santa Cruz made in Alabama 👈🏻😏

[@LBjell]

Like the comparisons.

[@OPC249]

Maverick is built with cheap materials, put together with minimal effort, and priced $5+ grand above msrp

[@charlesjackson1700]

The Santa Cruz is built like garbage as well..👎😫

[@xL0stKIlah]

@@charlesjackson1700 all modern cars lol

[@charlesjackson1700]

@@xL0stKIlah They also have problematic GDI turbo engines and high failure rate dual clutch Transmissions.

[@ram89572]

​@@charlesjackson1700They also offer a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder gdi with a traditional 8 speed automatic. It's fine to point out issues but don't lie by omission and make it seem like that is the only powertrain available.

[@Old_Bill54]

They also have a 5 year, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. That you can extend to 10 year, 100,000 miles. Ford doesn’t compete with what Hyundai offers.

[@addiewinnie]

I would rather have the Honda Ridgeline for this class!!! However I know the Honda is bigger and more expensive!!! But similar market

[@mybootscamewithoutstraps]

The ridgeline defeats the purpose with it's price. I'd buy a ridgeline if it were cost for cost to a maverick hybrid just due to the proven reliability of honda vs a newer run of a ford.

[@viper2148]

ha Ha, both are hideous. The Ram Rampage (not sold in U.S.) in my humble opinion looks far better but likely has the worst reliability of the three.

[@toyotaprius79]

Neither are PHEVs or EVs and still stupidly expensive Toyota and Tesla are even more stupid for not offering any such small truck.

[@richardkusimenkah]

Yea man, Toyota is sleeping on the small truck segment and it's quite embarrassing

[@shoeshooey5464]

You sound like right wad

[@chrissullivan4496]

I thought they were supposed to be affordable. Scam

[@davidpickens3117]

Why spend $40,000 on a small pickup, when you can get a full size pickup

[@toyotaprius79]

Perfectly explaining why the US is in a death spiral

[@jrs9264]

because the Santa Cruz has a 5yr, 50,000 mile full warranty, and a 10yr , 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. Far, far better than the elcheapo rear leaf spring outdated junk from Furd and Garbage Motors. 🤮💰🤑🤡💩🙆💥

[@richardkusimenkah]

​@@toyotaprius79My thoughts exactly. A land of no substance and excess consumption

[@robertbaker3296]

Full size truck aren't fun to drive. I prioritize fun to drive, plus I have an old Ram.

[@soulsage1984]

Bigger doesn't mean it's better.

[@furmanmackey5479]

Nope. I'd buy a Ridgeland first. And that is a highly unlikely purchase in and of itself.

[@1976axerhand]

I had a Santa Cruz for 2k miles what a giant POS. Xd

[@robertbaker3296]

Thats a lie. I own a Santa Cruz Limited and its the best truck Ive ever owned; easily the most fun and practical.

[@1976axerhand]

@@robertbaker3296 I guess you got a good one...

[@Old_Bill54]

I own an SEL and it’s absolutely wonderful. I’ve never had a real problems with any of the Hyundais that I’ve owned. Ford was nothing but a headache for my SUV and my wife’s car when we owned them. Their service also sucks.

[@1976axerhand]

@@Old_Bill54 enjoy it while you can...... until Hyundai and Kia change the engine assembly process the engines will keep blowing up... Hell another 3.5 million Hyundai vehicle in the last recall, and there wonderful dct transmission are also now under recall because they are crap..
