He was good, shame he works for a company making a faux truck

@@GA-wq8xq Good thing he works for a company that isn't making a vehicle for insecure men with small willies.

@@michaelp.3485 lol, good one. But if you are going to build a vehicle with a bed have the honesty to call it a truck rather than some acronym. The insecurity you mention seems to be at Hyundai!

@@GA-wq8xq Super cringe gate keeping there, LMAO.

@@EvilSardine084 ? I received an email notification and replied. What is the issue?

100% agree, and others on TFL are at times the same way, I un subscribed awhile back as the level of professionalism is really lacking, but watched this to see if there was any good content on the new car, but just got rude bias opinions and comments

He don’t even allowed his own team to talk !!!

Lol, people are so soft.

@@ebg1222 some people are clueless what asses they are. lol

@@palebeachbum some people are clueless how soft they are.

Solid observation

it was really obnoxious "show me, put it up there", very demanding

Roman was not trying to have a simple accessories video turn into 20 minutes. Thank you Roman for getting quickly right to the point and moving on.

I actually appreciated him telling the dude to bring it to the bed. Would have been to far and awkward on the ground.

Yeah, Roman was driving me crazy in this video. Him and Nathan are the worst.

I disagree. The guy was kind of shy and had to constantly be prompted to keep the video going.

@@RebeccaHargate you’re not entirely wrong, however, some people do need a second to gather their thoughts.

Thank you! Came here to point out the RTT thing... You beat me to it

thought the same thing

Yes fork mounted in bed but not resting on tailgate like a Huffy

@@Bob-hq5lj The problem with fork mount is you have to put the wheel back on when you get somewhere, which inst too hard but one more job you have to do before riding These protective tailgate covers are what everyone is switching too. More practical and it can fit more than two bikes.

As you know Cannondale in mountain bikes are junk. I would prefer a Giant mountain bike. 😉

I wonder if thats a patent infringement with the bike company?

@@82mattlopezboth companies have great bikes

How do you haul your kayaks?

Too nice for this interviewer...

Seen mine for the first time in person/ever 2 weeks ago. Take ownership tomorrow. Maybe I'll make a channel..

I'm really glad to see Hyundai is offering that extender!

Only the top trim is missing knobs and buttons

@@ThisGuyRides not true screen is the same on all trims same screen as in the 2022 Tuscon

@@evankatz2893 It is true. There have been other videos popping up on YT showing the lower trims. They have physical knobs for volume and HVAC control.

@@carlo.0000 no buttons or knobs on any trim look at santa cruz owners manual

@@carlo.0000 Carlo your right lower trims have knobs but limited model is much nicer

The dealer has them for 1300 mucho 💰

Some dealers sell at msrp

Oh so YOU HAVE ONE RESERVED interesting , I did the pre-order but got call from the dealer asking about nothing specific b4 they had concrete information about this vehicle. I’m wondering how you where able to get a date of order ? And what YOU think about the price for this 4 cylinder vehicle , as I stated in my comment I was ready to buy the limited until it was revealed that 40 to 45 price point , perhaps I’ll consider the premium which is about where I hoped the limited would price out

Lmao

And it can be dealer installed? If It is bolted on the frame, at that height I would not want to be pulling 5k pounds with it that is for sure.

prolly in Santa Cruz lol

license plate says California so...Santa Cruz?

Arnt you original. Give me the Explorer, Mustang, And Ranger. All faster better mpg and cooler

Did you catch that the tonneau had to be removed to accommodate the bikes on the gate? Not a good fit, that tonneau well not be an easy inn and out!

@@pxpaulx first thing I noticed funny enough, hoping to test drive one when it hits a dealership near me and bring my bike haha

New Kia Rios are $20,000 now. But a ford Maverick is $30,000 for AWD turbo.

@@devinbender8428 It started with me looking at the little Bronco sport. I take care of and keep my vehicles for many years. (I still have my 86 Ford F350 crew cab dual rear wheel, and daily drive a '05 Mazda 6s.) The Mazda is getting a little tired, and the F350 is too big for a daily driver and hard on fuel. Anyway, as I started picking equipment and options for the Bronco sport, I found it only is capable of Towing 2000 to 2250 pounds. That's not enough to tow a small bass boat! That's what started me looking at the Hyundai Santa Cruz. I knew the forward Maverick shares the same platform as the Bronco sport, so that wasn't going to cut it. ( Mavericks tow capacity is 2000 to 4000 lb with upgrades.) A ranger z518L with trailer, weighs nearly 3725 lbs dry. That's no fuel, no tackle, no equipment, nothing. That's what brought me to the Santa Cruz. More horsepower and torque with optional engine. 5000 pound tow capacity. Also, comes with a 7-pin plug so you can install a brake controller. The Santa Cruz also weighs about 250 lb more than the Maverick. That little bit of extra weight helps when towing. I like the size of the vehicle. I really don't want to move up to a Colorado or Ranger. For me, the only Advantage they have a proper longitudinal engine and rear-wheel drive configuration period that matched with four-wheel drive option makes for a nice medium-sized tow vehicle. But now your getting into the $50,000 realm with them loaded.

@@jnicksnewstart loaded SC is well over $42,000 For that I can get a Ford Ranger Supercrew 4x4 Lariat, with a cover, Max towing package, Leather seats, and ford 360. Which has more torque, better MPG, more towing capacity. More leg room. Bigger bed. With only being 12” longer and 300lbs heavier. If your towing 3725 dry, add 300lbs for gas, 100 for gear, 200 for coolers, 100 for stuff. That’s just under your 5000lb limit. Then your going to load your family in it? So now your towing AND payload is MAXED out, with a DCT and small brakes? Good luck with that.

Top-of-the-line Ford Ranger four-wheel drive is tapping fifty-grand. Like I said my comment, I own an 86 Ford Crew Cab. If I need any higher Towing I'll just drive that.Devin, I'm having a hard time choking the price of the Santa Cruz as well. "Stay safe, healthy, and happy"

Don’t buy new ever, the appeal wears off after a few weeks and all you’ll think about is what you really could have done with 40 thousand dollars! Whenever I get bored of my current vehicles, I sell them and stay under 5k.. almost never lose any money and can switch up rides in a matter of days, all without dropping tens of thousands. Tons of cool vehicles for 5k and if your like me, you may enjoy searching and researching potential options.

17.7 gallons

Curious how you comfortably haul a family in this. Maybe short errands, but nothing over 30 minutes.

@@inspectorvoid we do not have a family to haul around. As per my original comment. It is just my wife and I. We are empty nesters. Apologies for inadvertently putting “family” in my original comment. I have removed it.

@@inspectorvoid At least in the Maverick 6 ft tall adult could fit in the back seat. I was surprised to see that. My 80s Ranger that could never happen with the jump seats.

@@82mattlopez this I know about the r ranger lol. Almost bought one in 2003. Ended up getting a 4 door Tacoma.

@@kelvinhill9874 lol yeah had me confused. I just wish there was more midsize options for people that don’t want full size trucks, but decent cab space. I don’t need a large bed, just a comfy cab. 5 foot bed is plenty.

And yet there is still a driving embargo, and no options guide. Pathetic

I just put a deposit down on the se version. The local dealer here is selling them at msrp. I enjoyed driving it and am excited to get one.

I was a the Puente Hills Hyundai,, they were selling at MSRP...

Try MONTHS. Fords was up after the unveiling. 9 weeks ago! The Hyundai was unveiled 12 weeks ago and still silence. Makes it seam like they are scrambling to get to the market before ford…. Meaning cutting corners

@@devinbender8428 Price is not my only determining factor (and I won't be in the market for a couple of years.) It's nice to be able to compare "minimum acceptable spec" and see what the price difference v. equipment is.

@@DaddyDan77 true but the Maverick has better payload, more configurable, better fuel economy and Hyundai was scrambling after the pricing and fuel economy of the Ford

starts at 25 tops out at 41k... did you even watch the video?

@@philtripe Still not a "build your own". What options cost what? What does the SEL Premium include that the SEL does not? Etc. Price range doesn't give you that. Without Ford's tool I wouldn't know the details to the XLT Luxury package.

fine if your four feet tall

@@philtripe Ideal for towing a 2022 Geo Pro RV trailer with the turbo engine that has 5000 lb towing rating ideal for off grid, boon docking adventures which is the fastest growing towable RV market. Hyundai with its 5000lb towing capacity gives the Ford Maverick the boot 🥾

Yeah. Its called a camper top.

I think it will. Especially with a 4000lb car that’s front heavy with a DCT

Or, put bikes on a roof rack or a hitch-mounted bike rack.
