The Santa Cruz looks like the modern version of the Subaru Brat.

Saw it at the hmma plant in Montgomery. It had coverings all over it as it was driven in the yard. I driver car parts to their car plant as a trucker

Love your channel, Sir...well, at least your info videos on the Santa Cruz and Maverick.

Maverick. All day.

That was cool design it looks like unique sporty pickup truck I wish I can afford to have one.

Definitely much more appealing option over the Maverick not to mention 10 years warranty and excellent build quality. Ford, sit back and take notes

Hope they use the 3.8L from the palisade as a top level option! Wishful thinking though. They’ll likely use the 2.5 turbo engine

It looks as if the Maverick would appear to be able to haul somewhat larger items than the Santa Cruz - and would thus be the more practical choice if cargo size is important. But otherwise, the Santa Cruz looks to be the better all-around vehicle, particularly if you factor in the hybrid engine.

I currently drive a Nissan Frontier, and hope to look at their new model. Concerned that Santa Cruz will have much shorterbed, than the 5 foot bed I am used to. Santa Cruz is a cool name and it looks great, may appeal to some buyers.

2 door concept looks way better than the 4 door.

Santa Cruz has style for a an open trunk design. That is what both offer, open trunk design cars. The Maverick may have a little more payload and tow capacity. They won't be trucks. Maverick will be interesting as a sport tow vehicle for like light camping, motor sporting carry, or fish boating at a more reasonable price than a real truck. May handle better with front wheel drive and independent suspension.

Honestly, people considering this won't care about towing capacity. They want the bed space for the infrequent Home Depot or Ikea trip. I'd go with the Maverick for the longer bed.

I rather to wait and see which is better.

Maverick! but i will reserve my opinion when I see the Hyundai.

Hyundai has shown dealers that the optional engine WILL be the 290 horse power 2.5T, not the hybrid engine. That makes it more powerful than even the Ridgeline!

without knowing prices - how would you chose your preference?

The santa cruz like most advanced version in history of suv truck and think its sell in world is highest in futures

Merci

I'm a Ford fan, I have a Fusion recently purchased a Edge and they're fantastic! I am really excited for the Maverick and to show Hyundai how all trucks big to small are made! Sit back Hyundai and take notes...

Ford Maverick!!
