Santa cruz limited

I like everything about my santa cruz limited except the headlights they put that small dark area on the headlights do they dont blind oncoming traffic which is fine but it puts a dark area that makes a blind spot for me I wish it didn't have that in the headlights other than that the cruz is awesome does everything I need and more

Perfect luxury truck

The Santa Cruz has all the great creature comforts that you expect in a luxury vehicle. Being a small truck, it has the storage and towing ability you need. The turbo is a bonus!

Santa cruz

Runs smooth plenty of power, I have hauled gas cans, parts for a deck project from Home Depot. So the bed is very handy.
