If you can get ahold of a maverick hybrid at msrp, there’s that. But it’s limited to 2,000 lbs. the ecoboost with towing can do 4,000 but then you’re right back in the same spot as the Hyundai minus the theft issue lol.
How’s the legroom in the second row? I love the aesthetic of the Santa Cruz and that it’s not an obnoxiously large truck while still capable of hauling and towing stuff. I did notice that the space inside looks pretty tight.
It’s really not bad. I’ve had people sit behind me (6’3") comfortably. It’s actually the first vehicle I’ve driven where I had to scoot the seat up a bit.
I’m pretty sure it’s just the Tuscon with a truck bed instead of a trunk.
It’s rated at 22 city 26 hwy, do you really get that much?
The super short bed looks a little less than useful but I do like the idea of an actually small truck because every truck these days is monstrosly large.
Yup, but it mostly depends on the road inclination. If there’s a lot of uphill it’s more like 26/30.
And the bed is pretty useful, especially with the tourneau cover you can get. I did end up getting a bed extender to let me carry stuff like plywood sheets.
I bought the Santa Cruz, and I love it. 28mpg city and 35 highway, and I can still pull 3500lb.
