Come get an unbiased opinion on the two vehicles. đ. We drive the Maverick and the Santa Cruz and see which one we like better. #ford #automobile #sales
I priced an XL Maverick with a 2.0, hitch and Ford Co-pilot at $26,160 today. The hybrid was an extra charge of around 1800 but it was sold and not any more available. The only options I would have liked are available aftermarket like a heated seat and steering wheel. I canât mentally separate not having AWD but there were a few XLT AWD with the FX4 package for $30980. Thatâs $4800 more. I think the XL would do the job but I just have to think it through more.
I Like Both Trucks, But It's The Santa Cruz For Me, Much Better Warranty, Maverick Has 5 Recalls! Going With SEL Trim For 33 Thousand Personally This Is All The Truck I Need. Thanks For Your Report!
@charlesharnois3684 confuse me with facts.lol you just said it has a recall for shutting down.then before that it was 5 recalls? Get your"facts" straight
Standard package on the Santa Cruz allows you to tow 3500 which mops the floor with the Maverick. You also get a 10 year/100k mil warranty with the Hyundai. The Hyundai also has a mechanical leveling system, which is a really nice feature for its price. I think the Hyundai is a better option and deal overall. I test drove the Santa Cruz I have now and the Maverick and I chose the Santa Cruz. I use the bed for work every day almost, and itâs perfect for camping. Theyâre both solid choices for anyone who purchases these trucklets.
It's funny how people still feel that the maverick is a better truck. On paper beside gas performance and price and a slightly longer bed, the Santa cruz beats the maverick on paper. Less recalls, hauls more, faster, higher payload, better warranty. Its overall just better. The maverick appeals to traditional truck guys that want something that looks like a truck. The styling the Santa Cruz aint for everybody.
Except the engine is crap. That warranty doesn't do you much good when it takes months to get a replacement engine for it. I'd go with the Maverick only with the 2.0 turbocharged engine.
You should have put the Santa Cruz in Sport mode.......that thing Rips!!! the Santa Cruz also has a squishy Eco mode too. I really can't say I'm surprised you guys would pick the Ford with the squishy Hybrid.
@@TeamNewcom I didn't like the looks at first either and I still hate the grill with the jewel lights. The Night version hides the jewels when thew lights are off so easier to look at, but the rest of it is nothing to complain about. I think 4 door mini trucks look stupid in general to be honest with you.
So.. you'd pick the Ford because it has better resale value? I guess if you know you're going to get tired of it being slow, boring to drive, and taking it in for problems, unloading it would be a priority... BUT.. if I were to pick one of these vehicles to own/use/drive, I'd pick the Santa Cruz all day long. It's peppier, refined and has luxurious interior (compared to Ford), drives better, costs less, breaks less, and is available.
Good luck with that. Hyundai and Kia engines are garbage. Santa Cruz isn't a bad looking vehicle but I'd take my 2024 XLT with the 2.0 turbocharged engine and lifetime powertrain warranty over it all day long.
I would not buy the maverick if I planned on keeping it for 7, 8 or 10 years. Santa cruz for the money with the real transmission would be the best buy
Ford makes cheap cars and the Maverick is really a cheaply made truck and doesnât have half the equipment the Santa Cruze has like rear defrost,one touch front windows,self leveling suspension and the list goes on and ford is number 1 for recalls and less warranty
Wrong. Their engines are crap and that warranty doesn't do you any good when you're waiting up to six months for a replacement engine. My Maverick has a lifetime powertrain warranty from the dealership. Lets see Kia or Hyundai offer that.
When the hybrid battery dies on the ford you wil have to junk it not worh the thousands ford will charge you to replacethe battery. Thats about it. Hyundia wins hands down.dont forget the 100,000 waranty. ford will not last. Ford has had 32 recalls ths year.Buyer beware
The Ford is a low grade level product, that was priced point frozen engineering wise at 22 thousand dollars.. now itâs 30-40 thousand.. the Hyundai is a higher end and better quality..
The best part about the screen in the Maverick is there is a button to turn it off.

Recalls are on the old ones nice try ford basher
24 bronco and Maverick have a recall, they shut off going down the road. Your mind is up, won't confuse you with facts

I want it for the gas savings
Yes the fuel savings would definitely be nice! 40 mpg and having a truck to haul things is a win win in my book!

I like the interior better for sure of the Santa Cruz. However I personally think the exterior of the Santa Cruz is hideous.

@@scotthopkins2235 and the Maverick looks "good"? Not to me. Looks like a toaster.

YOU FORGOT THE WARRANTY HYUNDAI MUCH BETTER AND THATS A FACT.

I will stick to ford hyundai has bad motors and transmission

@@casper24ism missed your correction on that
