Fun Little Truck

Love the styling and performance of the Santa Cruz. It's the right size for my needs and is fun to drive. However, there are some odd omissions like no light switch in the bed and a factory tanneau cover that rattles constantly and which Hyundai says is "normal." The tendency of the DCT to allow the truck to roll slightly backwards or forwards on an incline is surprising. Long term reliability is still to be determined but I have had few issues with the truck so far.

Love my truck but….

Great truck but body kind of sucks. First had problems with weird swirls in black paint. Now seeing small dings (most likely from shopping carts or someone leaning on truck). I am handicapped and use the wide handicapped parking spaces, so this should not be happening.
