Traded in a 2017Ford Fusion Titanium. OMG the ride of this Santa Cruz Limited is rock stable and neutral in the turn and is it ever quick. 281 HP 4 cycliner turbo 0-60 on my stopwatch in 5.8 seconds. 5.8 seconds! This puts this little short bed truck out there with cars costing tens of thousands more. It's a 5,000 lb hauler and a street light sleeper, Hats off to Hyundai.

Beautiful truck. Disappointed with the storage in the console purchased an organizer for it helped a lot. Took running boards off because they were in the way. Hard to navigate the flat screen and hvac when driving (needs knobs to control things) no place to put sun glasses. Truck is very comfortable runs and drives great. I would definitely buy another one. All the good in the truck over shadows the shortcomings.

I have had the vehicle less than a week, so I still have a lot to learn. It has loads of “bells and whistles”. I pretty much learned by accident that it even has a self driving feature. Really? I’m surely going to enjoy becoming more familiar with my new toy.

I just updated from 2022 SC SEL to the Limited... What a difference, I love it! Sure higher... Still dash is piano black that I don't like and buttons that should be up front are on arm rest but, I do love this! Heated steering, seats as well as AC seats. All the safety features are fantastic and makes driving a breeze. Just enough truck for me with a great car ride and acceleration. Love this!!!! 2025: takes allot longer for the heat in the limited... The steering takes forever to warm up... I live in the Cold North Country. Sometimes the doors unlock with a touch other times you have to pull out the fob. Gas use is worse than my 22 SEL. I'm still happy with my purchase, nothing else out there I like. 2025 August: slight infotainment problems. AC could be cooler. I have to change driving to sport because it seems to be less stress on transmission. I'm short so I wish seat would raise up a bit. Interior send to discolor, not sure what from but it is patchy. Bose system not at all a great system, okay at best. Software to radio to find media is a disaster and confusing... Can never get to where I need to. All in all still haven't found anything I like better.
