Was hoping for the best but reliability just is not there.
Less than 25,000 miles and it needs a transmission and PDU. The transmission was faulty from the first day of ownership. The failing PDU came a few months later. Afraid to get the transmission replaced as I will most likely get a remanufactured one that have a track record of failing within a few thousand miles of being installed. Generally, over all, minus the drivetrain issues, my Santa Cruz has been enjoyable. Comfortable enough for moderate road trips; question if it will be comfortable for a day long road trip. Fuel economy has been roughly the rated efficiency. I usually get 24-26 around town and up to 32 on the highway if it is flat. Have not really put an weight in the bed to see how it handles a load. Beware the dealer service departments when it comes to the complimentary service as they will tell you that you do not qualify for the full amount. The dealer I bought it from told me it is four oil changes/tire rotations and you are done. The 2024s get 7 complimentary services. Do not let them cheat you out of them.
