Great videos Ed. If i order a 2023 in Canada, what are estimated delivery times? Manufacturing is pretty slow these days.

The Santa Cruz isn't too bad for wait times. Expect 4 to 6 months. Thx for the comment!

This was a very good review. One of the best about this particular vehicle. From 1 to 10 (10 being the best) I'd give this a 9. I hate that it does not have a power passenger seat. That is simply ridiculous. If you go on a date you will have to tell your date that in order for them to adjust their seat they will need to reach between their legs and pull. :)

Thanks! I agree, I think the top trim should have a feature pack that mimics the Tucson and Santa Fe. This gets close, but unfortunately misses a couple big features like the power passenger seat. Maybe in future models we'll see that added.

I grew up always wanting an El Camino. The looks and function of this car makes me very happy but the low fuel mileage is unfortunate.

I just bought a 2023 Santa Cruz in Scottsdale, AZ. Took it to San Diego the first week I had it and got 30 MPG going on average on the highway. I have a heavy foot & LOVE the Santa Cruz. Around town, I'm getting about 20 MPG.

I average about 25 mpg. It’s better than the Jeep I used to drive. Better gas mileage and excellent acceleration. Great storage space under back seats.

Thanks Ed, mine is Preferred Trend in Canada arriving in May, Chilliwack, BC. But how can you are in California when this video is filmed in Chilliwack?😅

Do they have window visors for the Cruz?

@edsgarage001

Жыл бұрын

Yes, your dealer should be able to supply them

My million dollar question is does every 2023 Santa Cruz have the dark chrome grill? I've ordered a 2023 preferred in Canada ( I think SEL AWD in the states). Only thing I'm not sure about my order is whether it's gonna be dark chrome or standard chrome. Personally dig the dark chrome better, but either or looks cool.

the back seat could use another 16 inches. Hopefully they'll retool the dies someday.

Or are you talking about the protective plastic film?

You never mentioned the price and i think it is a little poor that they didn't put power to the passenger's seat, I mean C'mon this thing with tax and destination will run over 50,000 dollars. In my view that's not good enough, I personally think this truck is not worth the money you need too spend.

Is this available in America? I just got the 2023 Santa Cruz Limited in Nashville, TN, & had no idea there was an Ultimate. Now I want it & husband says, “ohh, so sad, too bad”. 🥲. Where can we find this one???? We just got it 3 days ago, so I guess my next new car will b the Ultimate. Where is this one sold??
