Gutsy outside. Glam inside.

The best parts of an SUV and a pickup truck come together brilliantly to match premium comfort and modern tech with open-bed utility and versatility. Your biggest adventures come roaring to life with the freedom and conveniences this smart combination brings.

We gave it the perfect combination—the modern convenience and space of an SUV, and the open bed of a pick up truck, to bring you uncommon flexibility and freedom.

Off-the-charts utility.

A well-designed, durable open bed, check. Side and sealed underfloor bins for extra storage, check. Power outlets, security and a drain, triple check. We’ve dived deep into what makes every journey worth the trip, and the SANTA CRUZ bed has it all.

It works for you.

Press the button on your key fob and the tailgate gives you a hand when opening. Close it to hold your mountain bike, or adjust its height to support long equipment, no tools needed. Our tailgate was designed to go with the flow.

Go time, all the time.

Load-outs change with every adventure. So does SANTA CRUZ. It adapts to your sporting and storage demands with flexibility and finesse, with features like underfloor storage that transforms into a cooler, so you’re always ready for anything. It’s all here, so you can always safely secure cargo.

A show of confidence.

Different terrain in all kinds of weather conditions calls for performance you can count on. SANTA CRUZ is up for the challenge with available HTRAC All Wheel Drive capability, and an up-to 5,000-lb. towing capacity with the available turbocharged engine.

SANTA CRUZ technology lets you connect, share, keep in touch, and recharge, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing.

SANTA CRUZ for the win.
