Love this truck!
This truck was the very first brand new vehicle I have ever bought. I have only ever bought used vehicles previously.
I initially meant to buy an SUV, but when I saw the Santa Cruz, I was immediately in love. I took it for a test drive and I asked my teenager his opinion. His response was, “You need this truck, Mom.”
I’ve now had this truck for almost 2 years and I have zero regrets. I have made down some pretty bad roads, hauled all kinds of stuff in the back, and driven two teenagers on a 5 day roadtrip from Texas to Arizona. I’ve never had any significant issues and routine maintenance is the only expense I’ve had to pay. It gets decent gas mileage for a truck, and I do like the different drive modes for different weather/road conditions.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. As a single mom who has to be very careful with big expenditures, and someone who thoroughly researched all available options…I feel like this was a solid purchase. I have had random strangers ask me about my truck on many occasions, and I always recommend buying one. The underwear storage in the back and the storage compartment under the bedliner are always great selling points. I talk about how I chose the bed extender and have been able to load up my kayaks easily for weekend adventures. I even convinced a friend of mine to buy one!
My only issue is that now I want another one.
