Just got myself a 2023 SEL AWD with the Activity Package yesterday, in beautiful Stone Blue. Watched all your videos on this thing during my research. I am in love with this vehicle, whatever you wanna categorize it as. Spent six months dreaming about it and it still exceeds my expectations. Just wanted to come back and say thanks for the informative videos!

I have the 2022 SEL with activity package, bought it brand new and absolutely love it!!! only wish I would of got the turbo, but hey I am good, it is SO MUCH FUN TO DRIVE! I was the 2nd in my town to get one and I think there are 4or 5 now, its funny every time we see each other at a light or driving we all wave at each other, its cool!

just bought a 2024 `Night` version,love it!

I have owned a full size pickup before and installed an aftermarket tonneau on it and it was no where near $7k. If that price is true, then these dealers are running money scams on more than these "chip shortage" uncharges they got going on!! I do agree that the price for the package is worth it, as it also includes additional interior upgrades as the larger cluster display and wireless charging to go along with the items you spoke about. Keep up the great content and wish you the best from a fellow Floridian.

Just got me a limited and aside from all the features which I love like the retractable tonneau bed, what really caught me by surprise was how fast it was!

Very unique truck for sure. I think you nailed it with both the cool color and the ‘activity’ package.

I've had my '23 Night Edition for a couple weeks now and its pretty sweet. It comes with the Activity Package as well as some of the Limited only stuff like 20" rims , but in black.

Our active package came with bed extender too...we love this little truck lol 😆 another good video too.

T, every time you do an update, it gets better. Very informative, as always. Great truck, packed with lots of goodies! 👍👍👍

I love my Santa Cruz got the premium sel and i feel they made this vehicle just for me.

Thank you for being “my favorite” on this vehicle !!!! Details are so so so needed !!!!!! You flipping rock, so far the “only” thing I do not like , (because , I do live where there is a lot of dew and stays , way humid is the brakes rust “ ) other than that , I am following you to the moon and back ! Dude ! Thank you and you flipping ROCK!

I bought a 2023 SEL Premium 2.5T HTrac with the Activity Package and couldn’t be happier! The SC is a great vehicle.

So true I love the bed cover. I went with the activity pack as well. Thanks for testing the outlet out.

I have the limited, with all the bells and whistles 🎉.

I'm surprised this vehicle doesn't have the fold down center armrest with cup holders in the back like my 2016 Tucson. I hope Hyundai can fit one in there for the mid cycle refresh. Even with just one person sitting in the back, it makes a road trip a LOT more comfortable. I do like that they have memory seats up front. Great videos.

GREAT REVIEW AND I LOVE YOUR SUNGLASSES. I PURCHASED THE SANTA CRUZ SEL WITH THE ACTIVITY PACKAGE IN SAGA GRAY. LOVE IT!!!!!

Nice review... thanks!! Lots of your observations would be crucial here in northern Maine.... we need to milk every advantage out of the nice seasonal weather opportunities... as well as some of the less fortunate conditions we need to contend with as well.

Spectacular review as always.

Nice color, thanks for sharing. God bless and keep safe everyone

Great video dude! And I agree completely. Mine is the SEL with the activity package. Had to have the cover for the bed! Plus you get the sun roof roof rails sliding rear window and the 10” instrument cluster. Plus with the SEL you still have wireless Apple car play and some knobs to play with hahaha. I like the wheel and tire combination too, seems to give a great ride! Traded in a 2019 Mazda CZ5 Grandtouring on it and haven’t looked back. Like I said before mines BLACK and shiny. Have owned black cars since my first new car in 1976, a Cutless Supreme. Damn that was a pretty car, window sticker at 4800 don’t see that anymore lol. I live in Ohio and yes it’s hard to keep clean in the winter but that’s the way it goes.

Your vehicle looks like it is a lot of fun to drive. I love the cooler option!

I have recently bought the 2024 preferred edition came with all those options except sunroof.Iam very happy with it .

I just bought a 23 sel with the activity package and love it.

I finally got a limited one, best vehicle I've ever owned.

Have it and love it.

Santa Cruz Limited the way to go! The blue iguana and Everglades cocktail perfect combination!

I'm getting the new XRT and I'm super excited.

This is true. I wanted just the basic se model and my dealer told me to install the cover it would be 4,600 bucks. So I’m waiting on the new 2023 sel activity package truck will be here next week. And price wise the se is 29,000 the sel activity package 33,000 and you get more add ons. Can’t wait. By the way love your truck.

Heyyyy what did you buy or make for your bed liner????? I love it!

I bought a brand new tonneau cover for my brand new at the time 2018 Chevy Silverado Z71 6'.6" bed installed $530.00 PA. tx included

I have my dibs on a white limited Santa Cruz here in Southern California - but continually on the search for mine - not getting a black one- that’s a deal breaker for me 😃 great video

What tent do you use on this? I've been searching for one. Mu SEL came with this pkg amd LOVE IT!

After watching your videos I can tell you im probably going to get this car.

Another awesome video!! 😊 can i ask what you are using to edit your videos? Very nice editing. 👌

I have the 2021 Tucson. Very reliable vehicle.

You forgot to.add.the wireless charging!

I’ve owned a 2011 Sonata for 6 yrs (currently has 210k miles) and need to upgrade to a Santa Cruz! I want the analog gauges, physical volume knob & ac controls, tonneau cover, sunroof and the adjustable rails to tie stuff down. Not sure what my combination will cost me but I want in. lol

I am in love with your blue iguana. My mom wants to get me a new car and told me to look at the Santa Cruz. She said no to the santa cruz but hoping she warms up to it. We dont have any colored ones up here in Pennsylvania however I know you can order it. They had black. But I do love your blue.

Hey is there a way that u can put crossbar not in the roof but in the bed on top and keep the townocober function as normal

Where did you buy the blue truck bed Mat ? It looks so neat with it.

Where did you get the blue protective matt for the cargo area?

Nice car. Almost as good as the Honda Ridgeline. Better engine for sure though.

Gotta say the brief glimpse of your tent in the back bed got me thinking. Do you have a video on the tent setup Terry? If the Santa Cruz had a mid gate with an efter market shell, you could play for the day and then stealth camp, but I am liking where your going with the tent. Dear Hyundai can we please have a midgate? Guarantee you will double your sales in the US. Love the soundtrack BV. Well done. 👍

Nice

So I have the SEL PREMIUM with said package and I have run my pit boss grill off the ac outlet in my truck bed... so yeah... that part works. The cover is a bear due to the fact it cuts almost a foot from the bed itself and can be a hindrance but for the most part the benefit does outweigh the downside in daily use.

I LOVE my SANTA CRUZ. I have the AWD LIMITED PREMIUM. I gotta tell ya, though, less than 19000 miles, and I had to have a new transmission put in 😢. Broke my heart not to her for 1.5 months. That was pushing the dealer EVERYDAY TO GET IT DONE. I MEAN EVERY DAY. This was a recall on other santa cruz truck but not my Vin. I couldn't believe it! It was completely covered by the warranty. But it still was a huge bummer. I still love my truck though!! I will be trading for a 2025!!

I am going to get the basin one because there is NO way I’ll pay that extra cost !

Be nice if it was offered with a manual transmission!

How would you rate the driver side seating say for a big guy? I really am gravitating towards this truck. Think im gonna test drive one Saturday, but if the size inside doesn't work, then its back to the drawing board for me for car shopping hahha

Have you tried out the tent on the santa cruz yet?

I also put a lot of hyundai extras on mine. Did you mention the heat/cool seats? And heated steering wheel!! I got the bed extender too. Roof basket, santa cruz lettering for my truck bed door. Side steps, tint, window vents, bug shield, etc. It's the bomb!! I have the Sagegray

So the only time the bed lights come on is if the trunk is open. I was disappointed.

Im torn between this and a Hornet to daily drive and tow my pontoon 1 mile on summer weekends. Maverick is unavailable and I hear their open deck turbo motor is sketchy. Id get a 191hp Santa Cruz bc of cost vs an Alfa monster turbo Hornet GT...

what are the matts you have on the bed and drop down please

I just bought the Limited trim In Ice White … aka “The Panda”. The one feature I feel that Hyundai missed the mark on is, No Dual Exhaust :( This EYE Popping design would be even better with Dual Exhaust. LOVE Your SC videos! Thanks

@barefootvlogger Have you tried the feature where you can call the Santa Cruz out of a parking spot yet ?

fortunately, i have a hard and fast rule. never listen to a guy who wears his hat backwards.

Can you take the bed cover off? I think they use too much bed space honestly.

Does you tonneau leak?

Truck or not, it’s definitely a pick-up. And when you realize that, truck or not becomes irrelevant.

Is this the SEL or SE?

Love ❤️ it all barefooty I own Toyota Tacoma

Just buy the vehicle used with all the options

Can u pls send me the exact name of it. Dick's Sporting goods has two different styles. Love your videos.

Come on 7 to10K for a hard Tonneau Cover ?? I heard that when ever you stop , The emergency brake sets itself on ?? So something you have to turn of before you leave ? Stop-start button Econ button , And now the emergency brake lever ??? more B.S. to mess with before you can go on your way !! Is this true on your Hyundai ???

where’s steviana? i miss seeing her on your channel.

How does it do with a water test? I heard the headlights get water in them. Take it to a car wash a few times and let us know please. I want to purchase one but I’m being told to get a water test done to see if it’ll pass that.

Search Truck Ammo

sorry! I need more information about the engine and transmission mileage per gallon ,suspension . I will buy a car not samsung phone

Just got the 2024 SEL with the activity package in California Sand . Love the car but absolutely hate who I bought it from. STAY AWAY FROM THE CROOKS AT DELRAY HYUNDAI!!!

I disagree for my usage of the truck part of the Cruz which is more handyman-diy than recreational. The SEL definitely but not the activity package. The factory tonneau cover gets in the way for a lot of functions and taking takes up way too much space in an already small bed. A higher grade Access roll-up cover was only $500 and is much more functional for me. For $1000 I put on the after-market Cover, bed extender, tow hitch, hitch mount Cargo/Bike carrier.

They sell the tonneau cover separately now. It's $500 dealer installed. The rest of the stuff in that package I don't want.

this vehicle is an open-bed SUV, period!

You paid an extra $3,000 for an outlet in the bed and a 10 inch rear window

$7-10k? Hmmmmm

The only thing worth over the base SE is the tonneau cover. You can get a 110v inverter for $20. Led flashlight $10. Of course the crap DCT gearbox is already recalled and can leave you stranded. Is it worth another $10k (40% more) over base, hardly. A fool and his money are soon parted.
