🔴What was the most dealbraking reason to avoid the Hyundai Santa Cruz?🤔 🏆6 Reasons You Should Wait For 2025 Ford Maverick WATCH HERE 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8NTLEw3Ngeo.html
I don't think the buyers of this vehicle are not looking to buy a pickup truck. So all the negative talk about it not being a "pickup" truck is kind of pointless.
Exactly. The cargo bed for me would be trash for the dump and groceries...which I fit in the trunk of my car. I like Hyundai, like the Santa Cruz, but it would be a waste for me. My trunk is closed in, the Santa Cruz is not.
Exactly, these reviews are useless. If you want a cargo truck, buy a cargo truck. The Santa Cruz is basically an SUV with a bed instead. A reboot of the old El Camino.
Yeah: Me. I wanted a quick vehicle that feels sporty, but i wanted some ground clearance and a truck-bed. The maverick is ugly af, so my '24 Santa Cruz Night is perfect for me. Looks sick in Phantom Black with the black wheels. Sharp looking "truck"
I was going to say the same thing. I don't want a big cargo bed, and i don't want it to be high, 8 feet is more than enough, i wanted something between an SUV and a Truck, and this one is perfect!
A better title is 7 Reasons You MAY NOT Like the Santa Cruz. I don't think anyone buys a Santa Cruz for maximum towing, off-roading or cargo hauling. Someone who prioritizes mileage isn't looking at trucks.
That's exactly why I bought one. Just need occasional plywood, and some tall items. 5k towing for me is way enough. And I don't really do a lot of off roading. Perfect car!
I like the stock tonneau cover, was hoping the Honda style bed truck could hold 1 full size 18" spare tyre, but all in all, it's a nice midsize stock low rider truck, in my opinion
I have Santa Cruz 2023 and I love everything about it. Because I didn’t buy it as a truck. I jst wanted a suv wit big truck and safety reason. It’s really great. Driving experience. Style and everything. I have driven 11k mine and nth wrong with it. I jst love this car. Only regret is not getting night edition. :,(
Would you have opted for the limited edition too? I’m thinking of getting one but idk about the trim levels and how much of a difference they will make to me in the future. Curious to your thoughts.
Lame…it’s like you would criticize a full sign pickup for being too ‘big’. I’m not using it off road and am fine with the bed size for what I need. Also rear visibility is great, big mirrors and a great backup camera.
I have a Santa Cruz and I found no reason given in this video to believe what the narrator says. I looked at the ford maverick and it was awful. It all depends on what your looking for. The Santa Cruz has met and exceeded my expectations. I need to stop watching negative videos presented by people pushing their own agenda
Fuel economy ??? I just drove my 2022 and got 349 miles per tank !!! Real world !!! I went from Illinois to Laredo Texas and back spent 340 $ on fuel ⛽️ !!!!
Bought this for my lifestyle in Florida. I like making trips to the beach and vacationing in Key West. Got the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL. Has all the storage I need and still has room. Lots of road comfort and tech. My avg city miles are about 22-25mpg and highway I was getting 30-36mpg. This truck is by no means meant to do any heavy hauling that’s clearly not the target audience so if you need a full size pickup then get a full size pickup. This isn’t for you. Truck bed has a lot of nice versatility for light hauling plus I like having the small cooler below the truck bed for drinks when I go to the beach.
My only regret was that, when I bought mine 3 years ago, the blue ones were marked up an extra $5-10,000 of suggested dealer price…..so I bought a white one instead. But I never stopped wanting a blue one….so, today……I bought a blue one, too!!
My wife has a 2023 Santa Cruz and she loves it. You are right on just about everything. That C pillar is massive, the bed is small, off roading will never happen with her driving it. It seems faster then what you state. It rides nice, and the adaptive cruise control works great even in stop and go traffic to a point.
This just in: subcompact truck alternative does not offer the exact things full sized pickups costing 2 to 3 times the price offer and therefore sucks. 🙄
I like mine! Just hauled 14 bags of mulch last weekend with no problem. It does have a locking viscous clutch applying even power to all wheels. Not a transfer case, but a system that does work. Mine worked perfect in the snow this winter. Wow maverick 0.1 seconds quicker. Why would I but a Chevy or ford? So they can deny any future warranty claims? I got 10 years of worry free service. I’ve had Chevys and Fords, you will have to give me one to get me back in one of those!
I love the Santa Cruz. Since I don't work in the fricken construction business, it doesn't matter that the bed is a little small. I can't afford it though. So I dream about it. Meanwhile I'll dream about the 2010 Ford Sport Trac Adrenalin with V8 and navigation package and all bells and whistles in lightning blue. 💙😎👍👍 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yCfxfTrHlzk.htmlsi=33inty63DDFtw5km But since I can't afford that too, I'm just dreaming. 🚙
So you're trying to say "don't buy it" because it's not good at the things that were never a part of its design target. And we needed a video to tell us this? P.S. It's just the size and capacity I am looking for, so I bought one.
Hyundai do not consider to be a "truck" ... it's listed as an SUV. It has some features of a compact truck but it's built on the Tucson SUV platform. Maverick is it's only competition right now. Maverick is built like a truck, albeit a smaller one.
I have a 2024 Night Edition 2.5T. Plenty of power. Love it. I can lift it, if I want. I go hiking and camping. Not doing any major off-road stuff. I can switch between 2wd and AWD. I get 23-25 MPH in the city and 25-30 on the highway. I'm not looking to race it, so the 0-60 is just fine. Does what I need. I have already moved exercise equipment, table and chairs, desk and a loveseat. Gonna get some bags of cement soon and tow a vehicle to Arizona. The only thing, I will say is that you really should get a bull bar for the front. Putting one on today. A collision with a large dog can cause a lot of damage.
The risk of buying a mexico produced cheap truck that had 31 realls will have me drivng a santa cruz with a ten year waranty. I paid 29,5000 for four wheel dr and its a solid performer,DAU
The first two reasons you started with are stupid reasons. Not everyone gives a fuck about off roading and I like a compact truck with a small bed. I don’t want that bulky shit. List valid reasons. Not your personal preference
Ok but you can't deny the Maverick looks like a tin can. The interior of the Maverick is rather ghastly. Santa Cruz will do 0-60 in 5.9 seconds. The Bose speakers with subwoofer is outstanding.
broski is paid paid by ford , hasn’t mentioned single mechanical problem but keeps yapping about design and speed as if we supposed to be buying formula one car
When I went to look for a Maverick last year the salesman thought it was funny that I thought I could actually get one. Not a good look Ford. When I went in to a Hyundai dealer yesterday.. within 10 minutes a nice salesman had one running at the front door for a test drive and was telling me to enjoy. That's how you do it.
2022 SANTA CRUZ👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 comfort /mileage ( 30 mpg)/ and a good little truck all around.....can tow my boat can stop at the store and load it up with garden soil...good all around everything and can still take my wife to a fine restaurant
You’re so wrong . Drive off road your trespassing. I tow a 20’ ranger bass boat. The ride is better than everything eles. Just don’t buy the non turbo. Just lacks power. I am on my second . Stop looking at everybody’s eles you tube videos and drive one over 2 years .
2.5 turbo going 75 mph, with ac on 30 mpg on phoenix highways. can haul stuff and it is easy to get in and out of and still has some ground clearance. i am 68 bad hips.
Non turbo has SC has enough power, im getting 35mpgs and it responds instantly when I floor it. If you have owned 2.0 na cars with 140hp this feels way more powerful, my 2.0 mazda 3 to reach 115 mph is a struggle but I can reach 135mph easily on my santa cruz. I also own a 300+ hp genesis coupe.
Im.currenrly driving one. And so far it'd been pretty solid. Yes the truck bed being short sucks but I don't haul much. Only part I agree with is that the price tag is to muxh.
I find it really annoying when people criticize a small truck for its lack of cargo space in the bed area -- particularly here, where the guy actually tries to equate it with the 8-foot beds from previous fullsize trucks. It's a SMALL truck, doofus. It's not supposed to be big -- that should be apparent by its classification as a SMALL truck. It's in the name, Einstein!
Santa Cruz is an excellent great looking truck. Yes it rides like a car, those that want off road capabilities get a dirt bike. I like the comfort of a suv inside and able to haul small sometimes dirty loads that would mess up the back of your suv. It’s absolutely the best looking and sleekest of all competitors and it’s priced fairly. I didn’t get it for a work truck. I couldn’t afford those monsters anyway.
I was going to buy a Maverick even though I'm against turbos in economy cars but even the buttons are so cheap inside and you can't use lane keep without the cruise being on... that's not enough for 42k
Bro you tripping! I just got my 2024 Limited in black on black and it’s been awesome! I’ve had lifted trucks and it’s not practical to drive around EVERYDAY! I hated driving that big ass truck everyday! That’s why I went for this! It’s quick and I can still store stuff in the trunk! This is the perfect happy medium!
I have a 2024 Ford Maverick XLT Tremor. No issues at all. One recall for software update for directionals. I see no issues with anything mentioned. Maybe these were from initial year 2022. None of those issues were major just minor annoyances.
The Main Problems with Santa Cruz 1: Low Fuel Economy 2: Significant Unreliable Double Clutch Transmission STILL overheats, lurches and fail. 3: No Brake Controller 4: Underpowered especially when towing to its max 5000 lb tow rating. 5: Price, more affordable options ie Ford Maverick
You missed the most important reason to nor buy any Hyundai. They make shit engines. A Totota or a Honda is just broken in when a Hyundai is just plain broken.
