Santa Baby

I still smile every time I’m heading out of the house to get in my Santa Cruz and head out somewhere. I love the way it looks and drives. Someone once teased me that I had a toy truck. I told him that I was 77 years old and my toy truck is working perfectly fine for me.

Santa Cruz Review 2026

Great trucklet but missing basics like external sensors versus just cameras. The engine lacks initial startup power from a stop, almost cuts out and dealer said that is how it’s designed. There are a lot of pluses such as great gas mileage but would be nice if there were an all electric version. front facing cameras are standard for most cars. The Santa Cruz should could with standard forward cameras.

A Well Built, Durable, & Stylish Pickup

I have the XRT model with many safety features that I find valuable, especially when driving on I-95 in South Florida. For me the nimble size of the vehicle is great for parking, the AWD assists in heavy rains (not just for snow), the dash is well laid out and innovative, the seats are comfortable, and the cabin is spacious. It does not have the biggest cargo bed, but for my needs, it works great. The engine's horsepower provides plenty of HP as far as I am concerned. For the money, I believe it beats out the competitor's small pickups. Which IIs why I don't understand why it doesn't have better numbers in sales and why they're discontinuing the Santa Cruz. Such a shame.

My santa cruz

I'm a girl and have wanted this cute little vehicle since the day it was on the market. I was lucky to get it in Canyon Red, and it's the only one i've seen on the road. Gets a lot of compliments.

My 25

It has the best ride and has been dependable so far gas mileage could be better and the the radio controls reset on start up so you have to hit favorites again.

Almost everything I was looking for.

I am extremely satisfied with my 2025 Santa Cruz. It is the truck I wanted without the large body size that would probably not fit in my garage and still give me room to walk around it. I love the sporty style and extra features it offers, such as extra storage under the bed.

I Love My Little Baby Rig!

I love that this rig drives and rides like an SUV but has room to haul some stuff in the bed.

Very cheap and uncomfortable car

Definitely not a family car. Uncomfortable as can be for any commute longer than 20 minutes. Just cheaply made

Santa Cruz Evaluation

You should have waited longer to give me more time to evaluate the vehicle. I do not like the vehicle telling me to change my oil. I only have 3200 miles on it.
