XRT is exactly what our family needs today
By tlnh on 4/26/2026 2:57:22 AM
Been researching a replacement for wife's old AWD for 4 years. I will not buy sedan & she hates SUVs/crossovers. Test drove all trims of both small pick-ups sold across the US. Although the Maverick is more of a truck, the Santa Cruz is the best fit for our family today. Ford under-equipped the cab in all trims. (driver's seat literally causes me back pain) The Santa Cruz XRT is fully compatible with 80mph interstate travel, ranch roads (unpaved) snow, mud & metered onramps. The lockable storage is extremely versatile. The Smart Cruise Control was surprisingly consistent, even with 60mph cross gusts, when the vehicle was set to 80mph. This feature made the 4 hour ride to our daughter's the most comfortable in 4 years. 360 camera feature completely mitigates poor rear window view. GREAT that it does not have auto stop/start function. XRT could only be better with premium audio & driver 1/2 features. - 5.0
