I will be driving the Santa Cruz around for a long time. Then moved a haul of 6 pallets, also needing the straps.Īnd buy one without the rolling tonneau cover worked into the deal I've used the bed extender one time for a large dresser and needed the straps.
My tip, buy a set of ratchet straps to keep in the back. The front end takes some getting used to but I had to appreciate the 'Cruz' in relief of the front grill pattern. The Santa Cruz receives a lot of compliments with the consensus being that it has more presence and capability than people expect for a truck that is not a truck. I did not compare the Maverick because It wasn't on the lot when I needed it to be. It's the first new car I've purchased after owning 7 or 8 other vehicles. Grateful to have one, It's the answer to a prayer for a reliable vehicle that was also functional in the right areas. Overall it is a really attractive vehicle. I do like the look and functionality of the 18" 245/60r18 tires vs the larger 20s (which have a lower sidewall profile) The ground clearance is just enough, Wish it had a better-protected radiator (small stones) and/or skid plate setup.

That feeling I would also describe as a low-key sort of 'engine brake' that is always in the background. With the dual-clutch, there is a bit of a 'grabby' halting sort of feel cornering and coasting thru intersections. After about 1000 miles the shifting smoothed out at low speeds.
Very happy with the Santa Cruz overall suits my use perfectly, no hitch yet but I am eager to get that installed. I liked the idea of getting a Hybrid but I do not have a place to plug in a hybrid (or really … the time to charge consistently with a residential drop) It is just practical enough for fuel economy these days.
