Doesn't sit high enough, armrest features belong on dash. The trim packages stink : heated seat but not steering. Traded for New Santa Cruz Limited! Love this!!!

The most exhilarating, fun small to midsize pick up I’ve ever driven. with its 2.5 turbo engine 281 hp and 311 foot pounds of torque in a pretty light weight pick up/car equals.😊. yes, the backseats are small and sort a operate for grown-ups 511 and over but for the kids kids absolutely fine. And yes it does. It have an armrest/cupholder in the center of the backseat do to That’s where they put the subwoofer. . Mileage can vary As how spirited you are on the gas pedal and jack rabbit starts. You can expect combination of city and highway to be around 24 to 25 and city 22 and Highway around 30 mpg in normal mode you will get less in sport mode. 80 mph in normal mode is 2000 RPMs when sport mode 80 mph is 2500 RPMs and it’s eight speed DCT transmission. The small truck tow vary well and its towing something very heavy and wide as a clam shell snowmobile trailer with two sleds inside I’d recommend using sport mode as the shifts are higher up in the RPMs. The OEM retractable Tonnele cover isn’t waterproof. I would say it’s water resistant inside the bed, but the storage compartment in the rear of the bed is 100% waterproof. so far I got almost 20,000 miles no problems but as most four-cylinder semi high-performance turbo engines keep an eye on the oil level on the dipstick. It may use like 300 or so cc of oil between oil changes. The DCT transmission is been great with its quick crisp up and down shifts. Don’t slip it’s computer operated clutch so when taken off from a standstill, do it in one steady motion and its oil, cold transmission/clutches will be happy.

I did not expect to love this car so much. As a female, I just sort of thought that driving a pick up truck would be weird. I love everything about this car. I love that it’s higher up off the ground. I love all the modern features and that I can use the car for utility reasons if need be, but that it just seems to have everything that I need

Was shopping for ‘23 ford maverick lariat 4wd, but couldn’t find one in stock for good price. Found this Santa Cruz fully loaded, 2022, only 5k miles, for less $$ than the ‘23 Fords I was looking at, and with WAY more upgrades. Totally happy. Ford Mavericks are supposed to be THE budget small truck on the mkt, but the dealers can’t resist adding 1000s of markup and bs add-ons (TruCoat anyone?) making the affordable unaffordable. Sorry Ford, hello Hyundai!
