Smooth, yet aggressive style and performance, with issues

Very nice, sporty look and feel. Very nice option packages. However, the dash was too cold, visually. Even when adjusting the blue filter. Dash gauge customization was limited. Not enough analog HUD options. Also, the tubular side bars were out too far, making exiting the vehicle cumbersome. They also affected ground clearance. The bars need a design overhaul. Also, the auto-drive assist almost took me off the road TWICE!! Completely useless and dangerous feature. Also, lack of quality control. Traded my new Santa Cruz in on a a new Jeep before experiencing any major drive train problems, but many owners I speak with state multiple major problems with engine and transmission. Stop using customers as your quality control.

It’s better than the frontier in many ways

There are two things I would change about this vehicle. 1) the transmission and transfer case that uses a clutch in the vehicle has got to go. 2) the styling is too futuristic.

Good vehicle with some take backs

Driving, handling, comfort, very good. Has enough bells and whistles to keep me happy. The outside step is too hard to step over to get into the vehicle. Also, we have the tunno cover thinking it was water proof. It is not which is not good when traveling.

Very poor drive. Feels like I'm driving with the emergency brake on.

Poor handling, safety features are dangerous. Driving on the interstate in the right lane a car in the left lane started veering into my lane. When I moved to my right to get away the safety feature threw me back left into the car.

‘24 Santa Cruz XRT 18 month review

Overall the vehicle meets my needs but frustrated with lack of wireless car play and built in garage remote. Phone must be plugged in for car play to work and XRT price point should have included built in remote for garage connection.

Great curb appeal

Fun vehicle, looks great and drives well. Unfortunately, it gets terrible mileage and lacks a front and second rear camera so parking can be tricky and if the tailgate is down you’re out of luck trying to back up. Not quite a car, not quite a truck, it’s an exciting hybrid that does a little of both. Too bad for the poor mileage and visibility issues or it would rate five stars all day long.

Should have waited a few more months and bought 2025 model

I purchased with tow hitch and harness that was to be installed by dealer. There was a recall on hitch harness that was not disclosed to me, and it took 14 months to get resolved

It's inability to feather the gas pedal makes it take off like a racehorse and it seems it doesn't free roll transmission stays locked in when going downhill and it has intermittent Overdrive timings for disengagement it rides and drives holds the road really good

Overall I guess the vehicle lives up to its miles per gallon although it could be a lot better and the technology seems to have a mind of its own

IDK about the Santa Cruz I would pass and buy an F150

The vehicle keeps on over heating on longer trips and I just did a coolant flush just to help this truck stay cooler. I kinda wish I didn't buy this but and buy an F150 instead.

For a light truck it’s good

For a late truck it’s good. It’s not meant to be a heavy truck. It’s very comfortable handles well as great options in with a turbo it’s powerful although I don’t think it should have a duel clutch transmission or at least you should have a choice between that and heat speed out automatic.

Always trying to sell you something that

I have bought 9vehicles from Rick Case. 7 Kias and 2 Hyundais. I would suspect that makes me a loyal customer. If that’s the case, don’t treat me like you don’t even know who I am. I’m not saying that I’m better than anyone else, but at least show me some respect. 9 vehicles? Come on. Don’t try to cram $855 of crap down my throat when my vehicle has 14k miles on it.

Good Small truck but not good mileage

I bought this "truck" for my wife. The tiny truck runs ok, but the fuel economy is terrible. I get better mileage out of my RAM 1500.
