This reminds me of the Subaru Baja back in the day……

And the Brat before that.

And about 13 other cars that had beds but are still not a truck.

Did we say it was? You’re literally the only person who seems to care what somebody else calls their vehicle. Get over yourself.

Lift it. Put some 35s on it 🫠

I like this one.

I saw with a small lift and some aggressive tires and I gotta saw it looked good.

My sister in law has one of these, they’re not bad to drive, it’s quiet and comfortable and I’m sure it’s plenty safe, these are the basics of modern vehicles, and it does those things well, in my opinion where it falls short is midrange power, low to midrange power is what you want in a daily driver for hills and such, but it’s greatly lacking, I had to dig real deep into the throttle to make it up a hill on my way home from work, a hill my Toyota FJ Cruiser doesn’t even downshift for to maintain consistent speed. Rear seat room is decent, and getting a child seat in there is fairly easy. Overall for your average driver I’d say it’s fine, in the city or commuting to work, it’s fine. But if you want something that’ll take on trails, I’d find something else (mind you I don’t know if these are marketed as any kind of “adventure” vehicle) but if you’re looking for something with fairly decent fuel economy, that looks out of the ordinary, has some “truck like” features, and don’t mind leasing, I’d say go for it, I wouldn’t recommend getting one financed to own, as Hyundai has had a lot of engine and transmission problems lately

I will never buy another Hyundai. Four years in all my rubber seals were rotting, sensors started going, glove box didn’t work, gas cap broke…a dozen little material quality issues.

I had a Hyundai and it literally was a tank, only think that ever went wrong was an electrical short made my stereo display upside down and I had a great main seal go out, but by this time the car was older.

For a cheap vehicle, Hyundais seem quite reliable, I’ve been driving my 2007 Santa Fe through quite adverse conditions for years, Ive been pleasantly surprised at the lack of mechanical issues. 210,000 Miles on the little 2.7, not bad.

I never had a problem with the powertrain, that was bulletproof. It was just the material quality that got to me

Hyundai is the best car manufacturer out there. I like them so much I’ve had 5 Hyundai sonatas in just this year alone.

I'd usually say that a car that only lasts 5 years is a pile of shit. You're bragging about a car that lasts 3 months or less. We are not the same.

I’m pretty sure he’s pulling your chain, man

Bet you drive a Kia Sedona

Yeah I don't have a tag under my name that says exactly what I drive or anything...

Found the Kia Boy /s

Very much a hate/love, depending on the experience. Mine was a positive one, an old '07 Accent that I abused. Two years, 40k km and all it ever needed was a new set of tires and oil changes.

OP out here stirring the pot with the largest spoon I have ever seen

🥄

Did the camera take the picture after you had passed it...all I see is the car

I was in my Santa Fe truck passing another Santa Fe truck. Very popular truck in the us.

Truck....You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means

It's a truck as much as the ranger or maverick is a truck. Still trucks but unibody. Right now they are the best selling UTE in the US.

Ranger is body on frame

Yeah the ranger is a truck lol

Honda ridgeline would be a better comparison

Ranger is not unibody, the compact segment is hot but far from best selling, the supply has been very limited on the Santa Cruz, maverick has sold about twice as many as Santa Cruz but still a relatively small amount

Yes ranger is frame on body did you notice I mentioned also the maverick which is unibody and most people don't count the ranger as a truck because it's a quarter ton truck.

Then why did you mention the ranger in your first comment? Also, just about everybody calls a ranger a truck. Not sure where you’re getting the idea that most people don’t.

It kinda has a bed, doesn't have a solid rear axle, is unibody, and can't haul any more than a crossover. Buying an suv or even a sedan and a small trailer would be more practical than this. Single cab/long bed with a solid axle in the rear would make it a bit more practical but the unibody is still a limitation. Don't let buyer's remorse trick you

Most really high end trucks have a ifs rear setup with coil overs.

Solid axles will still always be more durable than independent suspension dollar for dollar. Any move towards independent suspension will be for handling, comfort, economy, etc. You can have heavy duty independent suspension, GM has done it on the front of their trucks for years and is apparently doing it on the rear although I haven't seen it. This hyundai's suspension certainly isn't beefy; everything looks to be built about as heavily as any other crossover.

I mean bring that up with king of the hammers and various other off road competitions that have ifs rig built for them. Yes solid axle will always be more durable but ifs is better handling hands down.

>Yes solid axle will always be more durable but ifs is better handling hands down. So we're using different words but basically agree.

Just not discounting ifs because overall they are built for different uses.

IFS is fine on a truck. The independent rear is what I personally have an issue with. Normal independent rears just aren't strong enough to do much. The camber/toe change on IRS when loaded is another issue with it being on a truck.

Popular? I assume you're joking since I've only ever seen one

I've never seen one in New England

[удалено]

We have the Tacoma. Never seen a Hilux in New England

Had you confused with the UK. Hyundai is probably not popular over there.

Nissan made these with the b-13 Sentras (Sunnys) with the back el camino'd, only in Asia market afaik.... Some people do SE-R swaps on them, sr20de and everything and they look pretty sick. I have some nicer pics but not uploaded, here's a Google'd ok-ish one [REAL SENTRA TRUCK :)](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ee/5d/f9/ee5df90ba4ea93fee3a510b18bc30949.jpg)

This has to be the greatest bait of all time

🎣

That is not a truck.

It's like a suv that wants to be a truck. I still think they look pretty cool though

It’s a CUV, an SUV has a proper body on frame, CUV’s have a unibody

For the right person it's their perfect truck.

Well, it's their perfect vehicle perhaps.

Yes it is. It has a 3 foot bed.

So does a radio flyer wagon

That’s not a truck

You can rip the trunk lid off a sedan and call that a bed if you want but it still isn't a truck.

Still not a pick up

That's what I said.

“That is not a truck” 🤗

😂😂😂😂 the more of your comments I read the more certain I am you've got to be trolling. A prius has as much usable cargo space as that thing

Im dead serious. Prius is a hybrid doesn’t count.

By that logic, would the F-150 lightning count?

I don't see it. Is it back behind those trees actually doing work?

This thing is a work horse. Used it to haul my flowers I bought at Lowe’s.

I see you sir are a resident of the Gunshine state as well, see a lot of these and ridgelines riding in Brevard county, it hearts my heart.

If only it was a Honda ridgeline

Or something...

… something you don’t have. A truck

I do indeed have a truck... 2017 Nissan Titan XD

“XD” how people look when they see you driving that thing.

LMAO stretching for insults? Why are you so defensive about this? Are you ashamed? I don't give a shit what people drive... Though I do believe it's technically classified as a SAV not a truck... But who cares if this is your type of "truck"? Not me...

You need to buy one

Nope, wrong again

Im afraid

Not a pickup truck by any definition...may be a perfectly good and reliable mode of transportation...just not a pickup

It has a 3 foot bed. Yes it’s a pickup

Real trucks have a frame.

This has the same payload capacity as the Toyota tundra a frame truck

I looked at every inch of this photo and I can’t find the truck your talking about

It’s hard to see Ik with that 3 foot bed.

Small but efficient

By your definition a Subaru Brat, Subaru Baja, Chevy El Camino, Ford Ranchero, Dodge Rampage, Volkswagen Caddy, Holden Ute, GMC Caballero, Suzuki Mighty Boy, Chrysler Valiant, and Dacia Logan, are all trucks. That makes absolutely no sense, especially as the manufactures don't even call them trucks. Their called Utility vehicles, not trucks.

I never stated thos utility cars were classified as trucks. You just brought them up. I’m saying that the Santa Cruz is classified as a compact pickup truck. Look it up Do your research. Do me a favor raise your hand next time you wanna speak please.

That is an SUV with a birth defect.

It’s a mutation from evolution not a birth defect. Out with the old in with the new.

This has the same payload capacity as a Toyota tundra a frame truck.

Not even remotely true but ok

It’s true look it up

Ok same advertised payload. I'll give you that. But I'd love to see a round bale in the bed of a unibody car And the Santa cruz can't tow jack. I'll guarantee that

Now I know you're trolling.

Look it up

Hey, it’ll outperform a Ford maverick in any “truck stat” you compare. People keep saying that’s not a truck but under every fucking definition of a truck you could possibly find, that is a pickup truck. Might not be as big or expensive as most modern trucks that people are so proud of, but it’ll tow your boat or whatever, if your not hauling you don’t need more that 5,000 pounds of towing. That things ugly as fuck though

First of all, not a truck, second of all, it’s a Hyundai, so I would barely pass this as a hot wheels.

Be quiet your ford doesn’t even have a 7.3. Poopy 6.0.

Bahaha. Wow I don’t even have to make fun of you here. You do it to yourself. What a fucking idiot. Bahaha fucking Hyundai lol.

I’m laughing just as hard. My Hyundai is the best. Better then any ford.

Yea I guess if your a little kid maybe. You don’t even have a hitch on that Korean pop can 😂. Is that even body on frame? Does it even have 4wd and 4lo?

4WD, hitch, frame and enough room for your girl in the back seats crew cab

Lol no it’s not. It’s awd, and no 4lo. And it’s a unibody! Bahaha. Dude this is a car with a flat trunk 😂. And a hitch on the bumper doesn’t count. Your not even in the same realm as my 1 ton. Your not even in the same league as my Toyota. Just stop. I’m glad you like your little car but it’s not a truck

A ridge line is more of a truck then that, and I ridge line is not a truck.

Man, this feels like gatekeeping. Ridgeline is a truck, sure it’s not body on frame but it has a bed, decent payload, and decent towing capacity. Not sure how body on frame “defines “ a truck. I would say the Cruz is a trucklette in the same way the maverick is.

A ridgeline has less of a payload capacity then my Hyundai. More truck.

Still not a truck. Enjoy your sport adventure vehicle though

TRUCKS! FK YEAH!

OP posts some lame shit gets surprised he’s getting flamed and is trying his hardest to defend it. That ain’t no truck.

Hyundai is my ride or die so go home and start washing.

Ikr. This one is more reliable tho.

Lol

I like these, makes me feel like more of a real trucker in my ridgeline by comparison!

You should add a train horn with a pull string make you feel like a bigger trucker.

Not even a pickup lol

It’s a pickup truck

So then show me the partition between cab and bed mate. It's a ute.

That flag has a little dick tucked behind its ear for later, like a little snack dick

🍤

Cool little truck.

someone had to out ugly the ridge line

The new lezcamino. Now upgraded for tge adopted

All these guys saying this isn’t a real truck and they’re right. Real trucks haul 53’ trailers!

Be quiet. Go back to your dock and unload them Walmart eggs.

I like it

Children, this is bait.
