Santa Cruz

I have the 2023 Santa Cruz Sel. I love everything about this vehicle except the headlights. They are not LED and are a little dim for my likes. Higher trim level vehicles have LED headlights. Otherwise I really love the truck. I average around 22 mpg city and the ride and responsiveness is great. Comfort is great and I am over six feet. I have had a lot of positive comments from people around town. This is a low trim level and I really don't miss anything except the smart cruze which this trim level doesn't have. If I could afford to upgrade to premium I would do that.

Retired social worker.

My husband is a tall man and has head clearance and leg room. We love the small size of the truck. We both are retired so our priorities have changed. We can haul a trailer if needed. We can haul our side by side atv to trails.

Nice second vehicle fun to drive decent gas mileage. I like the looks of the Santa Cruz inside and out. This is not a luxury model vehicle however a good value for the price paid. So far it’s been dependable and runs well.

As stated in review title I’m happy with the Santa Cruz so far. I had it for one year and it runs well. I believe it is a good value for the price. Sporty looking and functional. It’s not a luxury vehicle.

Love my truck!

This truck is exactly what I needed! Feels like an SUV but with the versatility of a truck. Being a widowed mom, it's easy to get in an out for myself and my handicapped daughter who is very petite. It was exactly what we needed!

Awesome Truck

This small truck exceeded my expectations. It is stylish and comfortable to drive. Very useful with moving things around on the farm. Everyone in my family enjoys going out with me the Santa Cruz because it drives well and has many safety features.

Great experience buying and driving!

We wanted a small truck with basic/standard equipment. Compared Santa Cruz to Honda (too expensive) and Ford Maverick. With better styling, value for the dollar and significantly better warranty it was a no-brainer.

very nice vehicle

I needed a vehicle that was easy to get in and out specially for our elderly family members. I had a big truck and it was hard to get in and out. So i went with the Santa Cruz truck. And it is perfect for taking on vacations.

good

A good to drive truck. The computer is a little hard to learn Needs more traction when taking off. I was going to buy a maverick ,because I was a ford man. Needed a new truck and I waited 11 months for delivery.Did not come through. You had best warranty and good styling. I am 80 years young.

Pure satisfaction

Met all expectations for my needs. No longer required a full size pickup truck and a car but still needed to transport tall items and the ability to tow a 4500 lb trailer. The Santa Cruz was a perfect match for my needs .

A very attractive and great to drive vehicle.

The vehicle is very attractive and catches a lot of attention. It handles very well with a quick response using the turbo charge type engine. The all wheel drive is great in bad weather conditions. The storage spaces are great and easy to get to.

Santa Cruz 2023

Perfect everyday car. Use it for everything from driving into the office to using it moving large things/ dump runs. Bed of the truck never gets water in it with the package I went with so I can fit everyone in the cab and still fit everything I need in the bed without worry. No blind spots easy to drive, compact enough it's a perfect in-between of an suv and a truck. I tell everyone even if I could buy any car I'd still buy this one. It's a little unique compared to other vehicles. It is a small pickup but so far its never not handled what me as a homeowner would need my truck todo.

Unable to commit as only had a month.

The vehicle is beautiful and loved the color. Only wished my husband was able to enjoy it as much as he loved it and Korean make as I am Korean born and he finally bought this for me after 54 years of being married.

The very best!

Best ride and convenience, safety and more! First new vehicle in 25 years and I'm so thankful I chose the Santa Cruz. The color (Sage Gray) is the beautiful, although I think it should be Sage Green! Oh, well!
