Hi all,
I have an order on a Maverick FX4, and I am really excited for it to move up the building ladder, I have tried to get a drive test a few times at my local dealership with no luck so far, at most I got to seat on a XL. I did managed however, to schedule a test drive for a Hyundai Santa Cruz, which I don't love on the outside, but I think is a cool little truck. My main uses for a truck are; random house shores, trips to the landfill, home improvement store, and most importantly to easily carry my MTB (most weekends) and a couple of small kayaks once in a while. I also have a large dog that needs a place to sleep on long drives. We (wife, dog and me) take drives to visit family and vacations that are bout 500 miles each way a few times a year, so we need a car that's comfortable and can haul bikes and camping stuff easily. Bottom line is I am trying to make a decision for the long run, I want to try to avoid the feeling that I should have gone the other way 5-6 years from now, whichever I pick I will try to use it until it dies, and avoid having to get a new car in the near future. Which one of this 2 truck you think will be have the best life span? that includes mechanically and also visually, I like to fiddle with cars to make them look better and I also take good care of them, I clean them and polish them a few times a year, as well as keep them up to maintenance. In general I try to not rough them so much, but thats the problem with my current car, I baby it so much that it becomes rather useless.
So which one of these two will survive the test of time in better shape?
Thank you for your comments
