Radio and transmission issues

I continuously have problems with my radio staying connected to my electronic devices. I’m also having problems with the radio just turning on when it wants to. Sometimes in the very low gears, the transmission will not shift down a gear to get up a hill. And you have to be driving very fast for the transmission to shift into eighth gear. And then sometimes once it’s up there, it will shift down and not shift back up.

Like the sand

I really like my Santa Cruz. The sand color gets a lot of comments in parking lots. The turbo engine a lows me to merge onto the highway seamlessly. I would by another if the color is right.

I moved South and needed a truck...

...and I didn't want just any truck. I'm from NYC, where a small car is a value. This truck is so much fun. Roomy, good highway mileage. I wish it were a hybrid.
