I’ve managed just fine for decades with a 5 foot bed, so a 4 footer will be adequate- just drop the tailgate for longer items. Get a hitch extension and some ratchet straps for securing really long stuff like a kayak. When I had an SUV I put bikes on a hitch rack, so I’d do the same here and use the bed to carry random gear and tools. 80% of the time the trucks I see are hauling nothing but air or trash, people tend to way over estimate what they are going to carry. The only full size trucks I see loaded up are contractors like plumbers, painters and landscaping companies.

There are things that crossovers can do that pickups can't though, the Tucons remains a very short overall length, but if you are by yourself or just one passenger, you can fold the rear seats down, lay down a tarp, and load it up with a huge amount of cargo that is safe from the elements and theft if you were to stop by a iHop for a quick bite. A SC is much longer and because there is no passthrough into the bed, the length of items you can haul without it really sticking far out the back is limited. The Baja and Avalanche resolved these issues by allowing you to fold down the second row seats that would connect with a passthrough to the bed.

@stephenj4937

If you regularly carry back-seat passengers you would appreciate the greater rear legroom in the Tucson. But as a second vehicle mostly used by 1 or 2 people it would be fine.

I'm sold if the hybrid version becomes available at an affordable price, it's perfect for most people that need a daily driver and also a small pickup to go to Home Depot, pull a light trailer and need to get rid of some trash around the house every now and then 🤪👍

Now do the same comparison with a traditional crossover. The point being, everyone understands that it’s a “less useful” pickup truck, but it’s also a “more useful” crossover.

Great video guys! Test dove one on the weekend and could not believe how much more comfortable it was than my 2021 Tacoma. Felt great on the road and I'm sure would be perfect for a city dweller that spends weekends hiking and mountain biking and needs to haul stuff once in a while. I had to be honest with myself about how underwhelmed I really was with the Tacoma and how much off roading and towing I was going to actually going to do. I ended up trading in my taco and ordered one.

Wtf on the damn hair loss ad.

Looks like I need a six foot bed and have a gate flat open in order to comfortably pack an almost 100'' long tandem bike...

these videos just continue to validate my Taco purchase.

Well done! Years ago I built a spreadsheet of everything I ever carried/moved and used that to help decide on a vehicle. Turned out the 2008 Sport Trac pretty much did it all. That was just enough bed, and it was not hindered by the tonneau cover box because you could easily remove the cover if necessary. That bed size was the minimum. Might as well just have an SUV if any smaller.

the desert sled uses a larger front wheel/tire at 25.5" in diameter and has a comparatively long wheelbase at just under 60". This means that the minimum bed length required is 72.5" which would put the front tire against the bed's front wall and the axle immediately above the 72.5" mark, The santa cruz bed with the tailgate down is just a hair under 6' or 72". This means a typical sport bike like a yamaha R6 with a wheelbase of 54" and a 23" diameter front wheel will fit just fine. Its overall length requirement of 65.6" inches leaves enough room behind the rear axle to haul it safely. However, a standard YZ450F dirt bike has a wheelbase of 58" and a 28" diameter front tire, bringing the length requirement to 72" just like the Desert sled. So yes, it will haul smaller motorcycles/sport bikes but it won't haul a dirt bike without turning it diagonally (this is how you should haul it anyway) or larger bikes.

Would have been nice to see if a standard wooden pallet fit in the bed. That's kind of the standard for a pick-up I think.

@@kelvinhill9874 Its standard on the SEL Activity, SEL Premium, and Limited. But if you buy it and don't like it, you can resell them for a LOT right now because some SE and SEL owners want them and Hyundai doesn't even sell it separate. So its not a big deal if you buy a trim that has it, you'll find a buyer for $1500 to more than make it worth your while.

You typed "cover for that bed" when I think you meant "entire vehicle." Might want to correct that.

Is this really any more practical than the fully enclosed cargo area of a similarly priced Santa Fe? I want to like it, and I guess I kind of do, but only priced basically the same as a Tuscon

You're wrong about the dirt bike. Without the factory tonneau cover, you could transport a dirt bike from corner to corner - at a 45 degree angle. It fits with the tailgate down, no problem.

Ya'll don't mess with Nathan's bike.

I prefer the looks of the maverick But that hasn’t come out yet so we don’t know if it’s that good

Same. I’m thinking about getting my wife the maverick

I don't have a use for a full size pickup, or a mid sized pickup. I work for the Federal Government in an office. So I'm not hauling things around. Plus, I live by myself, so anything that I would use a full size/ mid size truck for, I wouldn't be able to carry or move myself. Example, washers, dryers, couches, dinning tables, hot water heaters and so on. I just need something that will fit items that won't fit in a 2009 VW Jetta. Like Bar B Que pits, Patio Furniture, small dressers, Televisions over 70 inches, and so on. Basically something that can handle small home improvement projects. So for someone single, lives by themselves, and does home improvement projects on their own home, by themselves only with no help, then this could be a perfect vehicle for the. It is for me, I just need something that will fit items that won't fit in my current car, but items that I can handle on my own. I don't tow anything and I don't work in construction, or run a lawn service. I'm a federal employee for a hospital, need to do small home improvement projects, and go out and have picnics and to the beach.

The 2.5T is a fun little engine to drive around. Faster than the hemi I had and averaging 27 mpg right now. Sea level flat pretty flat land. Mixed city and interstate at 80 mph

I just sold my 4 cylinder 2015 Frontier and I miss it. This thing looks like it would do most everything I need. The payload capacity, rear seats, towing capacity (AWD version) and horsepower are all better. It's also $17k more than my Frontier cost. :O

5000 Towing capacity with turbo awd (33k+) and only 661lbs can go in the bed. Not all that impressive when the Maverick is $28,000 for the awd turbo of 4000lb towing and 1300lbs in the bed

@@mechmat12345 my point exactly! A very decently equipped Frontier is STILL cheaper than a loaded SC. A loaded Frontier is only 45,000 That’s only 3500 more than the Hyundai. That’s crazy!

Funny, my road bike fits perfectly inside my F36.

seems like a good car for mom to get, so she can put flowers and a bag of soil to keep the dirt out of the interior

A nice truck that is looking for a use case 😁

That would be correct statement if you replace truck with crossover and remove the word nice.

Great info. Hope this truck and the Maverick convince Dodge to bring back the Durango or some smaller truck like that.

You should have tried to fit a washer, dryer, or refrigerator in the bed.

I’d still go with the Honda Ridgeline

when you got to the bicycle fitting and it didnt fit 2 or more is when i dropped off the wants for this truck .

Turn the quad around so the rear wheels sit under the tonneau section and the carry handle sits over it.

You can drop the tailgate and purchase a bed extender for a couple of hundred dollars. That will give you an additional 12-16” of space, which should be adequate for anyone, who is not a construction worker or day laborer.

We need the elcamino back as it did a lot more

Tommy nobody mentions that you can't put all that weight in the bed area Hyundai only allows for 600lbs in the bed area.

That was corrected by Hyundai, It's 1400lbs total but if you subtract 4 200lbs passengers inside the cabin then you are left with 600lbs in bed
