Also, one think I dislike about the back seat of the Santa Cruz is that on my trim level there are no rear seat A/C vents and the center arm rest doesn’t flip down. I think you have to go to the Limited trim level to get those features. But the did do a refresh for ‘25 that might have fixed those.

THIS IS GIVING ME SO MUCH ANXIETY

Rear legroom is minimal in both Ford and Hyundai, but same with the larger Honda Ridgeline. My previous car was a VW Passat with miles of room in the back seat. Def one of my dislikes about it.

I have personally sat in the backseat of my Subaru Forrester, and even with the seat pushed far back, there’s still plenty of leg room.

Maybe I am seeing this all wrong.

Have you looked at the Subaru Ascent? The second and third row fold down providing a lot of cargo room.

I looked into that a while back. I’ve also driven them personally when I worked for Subaru.

Too big, and often plagued by transmission problems.

Fair enough! I used to have a Forrester and I upgraded to an Ascent a few years ago. It is kind of a boat. 🫣

It’s the difference between a decently sized boat with good handling versus toting an entire barge.

If Subaru still made the Baja, that is what I probably would have gone with. I wanted the ride comfort of a car, but with a small truck bed. IMO the Santa Cruz delivers on the ride comfort better than the Ridgeline or the Maverick, but that is subjective.

I MISS THE BAJA THAT SHIT WAS LIT
