I started down that R&T list...I really don't like web reviews that show a high spec vehicle that doesn't match the price they have listed. Show me the darn steelies! (Edit: coworker got a Chevy 2026 WT and the wheels really look good for steelies)

Every picture they show is a 50 to 70k truck except the Maverick or Santa Cruz. Good luck buying a Santa Cruz that is no longer produced.
Yep it's dead. Too bad, was an interesting "lifestyle" trucklet, but like the Subaru Baja seems to have failed at finding it's niche in the market. Lots of folks who have them (either the Santa Cruz or the Baja) think they are the bees knees.

OFC only the Mav has a fuel-saving hybrid option, other hybrid trucks seem to be tuned to use a hybrid battery for torque and not economy.
