      How do you like the Santa Cruz. I’m really interested in it.

        I love it so far, especially now that I got a bed extender so I can haul full sheets of plywood and such.

        It’s got a ton of power under the hood. I average around 26/30mpg, but my wife averages 28/32-35mpg

        It’s really roomy inside too. I’m 6’3 and this is the first vehicle I’ve driven where I didn’t have to move the seat all the way back. And people are able to sit comfortably behind me.

        I highly recommend trying to get one with the tourneau cover on the bed, because it’s amazing. But don’t get the trailer hitch from them. You can save $3-400 having a local mechanic do it.

        My only real gripes are that the AC blows too hard on its lowest setting (for me) if just the upper vents are blowing. The ride is also pretty smooth, so I often catch myself speeding without realizing it. Also that the steering wheel controls don’t have a play/pause button.
