One thing you forgot to mention was the electrical outlet in the other cubby of the truck bed. I think that's a really cool addition worth mentioning.

Much respect for staying strong in your beliefs. Because it's easy to compromise to fit in.

Isaac!!! I don’t know if remember at all but , I was one of your first 100 subs and used to watch your videos religiously. Oh my days , well I was 16 at the time I’m now 20 . You inspired me to rededicate my life to Jesus and that no truck beats a Toyota tacoma lol been one of dreams since to own one 😂 . Thank you so much for everything and all your amazing reviews ❤

Have we met in person Eric?! I don't necessarily remember off the top of my head, but I appreciate the support! And you don't know how affirming it is to hear that I helped inspire you to rededicate your life to Christ! That just let's me know I'm doing the right thing.

Excellent review & very helpful to me after my purchase of a Santa Cruz on 3/16/2024. I love this vehicle! Thank you for the encouraging scripture as well.

God Bless you Issac. Thank you for the verse brother. Keep doing what your doing.

I really enjoyed your review. I've been admiring the Santa Cruz, since I saw one on the hwy in Alaska, where I live. I have read quite a few reviews by people in CO and MN, saying how great the AWD is. I definitely won't be off-roading, but I deal with lots of snow and ice every year. We're due for a new vehicle and already have a 2005 Ford F150, so no need for a full-size truck. I love the unique look of the Santa Cruz, so I am very drawn to it. I think I'm going to seriously consider getting the 2025, since it will have many new updates and I'm hoping they will have the transmission issues figured out. It has such a great warranty, so I think I'm willing to take the risk. I'm so glad I watched your review to the end. It was so refreshing to see you claim your faith and share the Word of God. Stay strong and faithful. God has soo much more in store for you. God Bless You!

Thank you for your thorough review, we are looking to purchase a 2024 Santa Cruz right now so this helped me a lot. May God bless you richly.

I like your review of the Santa Cruz more than any other I've seen, and I've seen many. You talk about the things I'm interested in, and your perspective is what I need. Way to go!

Oh wowww luv how you ended the review, caught me off guard but soooo sweet! I’m really proud of you. 😢

Awesome video. It is April 13, 2024. I just purchased my Santa Cruz Limited last night. There is so much to explore that this video was so helpful. God bless you. I am also a Christian to God be the glory.

Good review! I like the look of the Maverick much more but the Santa Cruz is more functional I think.

Defiantly enjoyed your video on the Santa Cruz 2024. I got a Hyundai Elantra SEL 2023 but was considering trading for the Santa Cruz. I appreciate the scripture and bible reading at the end. Please add me to your prayer list. The Lord Bless and keep you, may His face shine upon you.

Blessings my man

Just checked it out at the dealership,the xrt model. I really wanted to get one but I hit my head getting in. I tried 5-6 different times. I’m 6’1”. I had to bottom out the seat height and headroom was pretty bad. The rear seat is very underwhelming, no center armrest no ac vents or usb ports. While I’d never use the rear seat, the kids who would,that you don’t want complaining, would certainly get fidgety.

I went to look at a Santa Cruz yesterday in the stone blue. I hated the sand color when I saw it on the Hyundai website but when I saw it in person I ended up loving it too. I did end up getting a Santa Fe because I liked it more overall, but still think the Santa Cruz is beautiful though.

So, cool that you incorporate God in this. He will bless you greatly. I have a Santa Cruz SEL Premium. I’m thinking maybe in 2027 getting the Limited one because of the blind side cameras and Bose Sound System. They may even make it a Hybrid. Please pray for me. Pray that God will provide for me and be where and with whom he wants. Thank you! Mike Diaz.

Great verse. One key detail left out that I want to know about, is how wide the truck bed is, to see how well a 4’x8’ sheet goods will fit.

@jinx_64

2 ай бұрын

4x8 sheet goods fit nicely. There’s a shelf/step formed into each side of the bed that you guide sheets onto and then the tailgate cables can moved up to a higher indent that levels out and supports your sheets.

Santa Cruz has wireless car play and the trim you liked so much is part a multi vent system for air and heat you missed the digital mirror for when the rear view is blocked by cargo, You missed all the features of blue link to get updates for service lock unlock, start/stop and heat steering wheel or climate control. Blue link is shareable if you want to lend you car/truck. You also missed the 135 plug in in the rear storage. Blue link comes free for 3 yrs not 2 or 6 months the warranty is 5 years or 100000 km with 5 yrs roadside assistance. Hope that helps!

Amen. 🙏 ❤

Isaac, saudações do Brasil! Hyundai está cogitando importar a Santa Cruz para cá. Estou torcendo muito! Já estou no meu terceiro Jeep Compass Trailhawk mas cansei do modelo e não temos nada de novo por aqui. Pesquisando, KZread me trouxe até seu vídeo. Amei a forma calma que usa para apresentar, sem pressa, falando calmamente (o que me permite entender con tranquilidade seu inglês!) E, a chave de ouro, foi você se dizer um Cristão no final do vídeo e encerrar com A Santa Palavra! Incrível, inédito, surpreendente e estimulante! Ganhou um fã no hemisfério Sul! Deus te abençoe muito e sempre!

Perfect review! God bless you

Love the Santa Cruz. I was a diehard GM?Chevy fan for most of my life until they decided to get rid of Android Auto and Apple Car play on their newer vehicles. Then there is the greed and lack of affordable cars and trucks for normal middle class people. I have a 23 Bolt EUV that I love and 2004 z71 4x4 truck. Unless something majorly changes with GM/Chevy I will be looking at other car companies, The New future model of the Bolt will be to little to late.

If they didn't eliminate it, you missed the outlet in the bed. Additionally, the drivers seat controls?

If Huyndai made made the Ctuz a long bed, like 5 or 5 1/2 ft bed, as an option itd be perfect

Transmission issues with the turbo, so mindful of that.

Interesting auto

No memory seats in over $40k car =>>> no deal.

The exterior of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited exudes a modern and sophisticated design, featuring sleek lines, Bi-LED headlights, and stylish wheels that enhance its overall appeal. Inside, the Santa Cruz Limited boasts a premium interior with high-quality materials, spacious seating for five passengers, and the 'added luxury of memory seats'. The refined interior design and comfortable seating make the Santa Cruz Limited a standout choice in its class.

I think this design was an absolutely beautiful truck/car concept. The two MAJOR things that put me off considering this, if I had the money, is the terrible infotainment area AND the really poor towing capacity for a vehicle of this type. But if I had all the money in the world then I would definitely buy this as my JUST FOR FUN second vehicle. you did a nice review tho.

The way they've done it on the Palisade would be more to my taste. Yes! the Palisade (Calligraphy trim) that is another dope ass car they make. sadly neither the Santa Cruz or the Palisade is available here in the UK......so to get them we would have to do an international import which would add even way more money and extra hassle.

I was so close to buying one, but now I thank my lucky stars I didn't thanks to that pathetic dual clutch transmission. Two people I know, one being my cousin bought a Santa Cruz and neither made it to 28,000 miles before the trans gave up. That doesn't include how herky jerky the trans felt BEFORE they went south.

What does that mean…

The typically cheap made Hyundai Santa Cruz is rated at 22 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. Adding all-wheel drive drops city and highway figures by 1 mpg. The turbocharged version has estimates of 19 mpg city and 27 highway. Compared to the 2024 Ford Maveric with 40 mpg city/33 mpg highway. Even worst the more versatile Ford Ranger gets 21 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. The best in breed 2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid gets 24 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway! The much more versatile full sized RAM 1500 gets 22 mpg city/32 mpg highway! The way bigger GMC Sierra 1500 gets 24 mpg city/29 mpg highway. And both the RAM and Sierra are real trucks! Why in God’s name would anyone buy one of these cheap Hyundai lemons? Must be because of the great record Hyundai has in building engines 🤣🤣
