Trail Boss To Santa Cruz

Wife and teenage girls didn't want to drive the Leveled Trail Boss. Thought Santa Cruz would fill in for a while to allow them another vehicle to drive. Legroom for rear seats is minimal with normal adults up front. Good thing for sensors and blind spot cameras because the blind spot is "DEADLY". Windshield wipers don't stay up by themselves. Colder climate owners have to make modifications. Now some good stuff...31 MPG with 88+ octane. 26 MPG operating with 87 octane. Great factory stock tires and AWD is great in snow. Little extra ground clearance helps also. Loaded with the latest technologies and a great stock radio system. Since they are discontinued, I will be shopping for a full size 4x4 with a warranty simular to Hyundai.

My Santa Cruz

I was skeptical about the size of the Santa Cruz. However, I do enjoy how it handles and rides. The driver assisted aspects is something that I have come to terms with since driving it. The vehicle gets great gas mileage and has more power than expected for the vehicle.

Unique and Versatile

I wanted a unique SUV/pickup to replace our F150 that we enjoyed for 15 years hauling boats, trailers, RV's ,etc. I noticed the SC at various times and decided it would be great for our needs at this time. Its' fun to drive and versatile. We no longer need to haul trailers but the bed is very useful and we would have missed one after our F150 over the years. It's always fun to see the stares and questions people have about our Activity.

Not a truck just looks like one doesn't perform like one

I thought by purchasing this truck I'd be able to pull around a camper. o 7 pin wiring harness available for my model. Imagine that. Now I'm stuck for at least 3 years.

A great upgrade for myself!

So far I am enjoying everything about my new 2025 Santa Cruz Limited! With one big exception! With all the technology, cameras, sensors and radar built in to the vehicle why would you not include Proximity Warning system???

Good crossover

One thing for sure the truck needs a premium sound system. The basic sound is junk. The truck bed cover rattles. Other than that it is a overall great little truck

2025 Santa Cruz

I like the design and styling. I like the tech inside especially the glass and handling of car play. The tech is not withoug glitches as the crossing warning sometimes doesn't work, the collision warning is erractic, and I had a engine warning light when the enging stopped working properly, luckily it went away.

Great

I love my Santa Cruz, it drives like any other vehicle out there. The truck bed is small but this is a small truck. I don't like the clothes seats they are a cream color and you can see every little spot.
