The standard powertrain is a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC. This is capable of delivering a respectable 191 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque. It’s also an efficient drive, boasting EPA-estimated fuel economy figures of 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined for the standard setup. Front-wheel drive comes as standard, with an HTRAC all-wheel drive setup also available.

The engine power is intelligently translated into impressive pickup performance. The Santa Cruz boasts a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs and can carry payloads of up to 1,411 lbs. This is more than enough power for you to load up this family-oriented compact pickup for a weekend adventure.

A Rugged Adventurer

The Santa Cruz can be customized to tackle the ultimate challenges, both on and off the road. The available HTRAC all-wheel drive system offers more power and control across different terrains and in all weather. This comes as standard on the XRT, which is a Santa Cruz trim built to go off the beaten track.

The XRT’s uniquely designed 18-inch alloy wheels and exclusive red front tow hooks and dark satin black grill further add to the rugged off-road aesthetics and performance of this trim. The Tow Drive Mode and increased approach angle enhance the hauling capability of the XRT, which boasts a towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs when properly configured with the available 281-hp turbocharged engine.
