What after-market accessories are you hoping to put on your Santa Cruz?

Lots of people that will be buying this vehicle will be adding things to their SAV like a bed rack, rooftop tent, bike & kayak racks, etc... List what you hope gets made and actual add-ons as they hit the market.

I'm hoping Ursa Minor will take an interest in the Santa Cruz. I believe he got his start making pop-top campers for the Honda Element. Now he makes them for some Ford and Jeep models too.

Something like this Jeep camper that is super lightweight, sits on the bed sides, not in the bed and has a sleeping platform that can be slid forward for the back half would be great. Matching the HSC body line design would be key to the aesthetics.

Here's his site: Ursa Minor Vehicles

I'd like to see a front-wheel bike rack mount up on the rear cab rails that let you lock the un-removed front wheel in with the rear wheel sitting in the closed bed.

I’d like to see one of those bed extender bars so you can use it with the gate down, but still have what you’re hauling “encased”.

This is a priority desired aftermarket or OEM accessory for me too.

I'm assuming Hyundai will offer a tow hitch as an add on, but if not I'll look to the aftermarket for one.

Same here. The SC will be my tow vehicle so a tow hitch is a day 1 requirement for me.

Next up I’d like a brush guard / light bar setup of some kind.

I wonder how much of a chicken and egg situation we will have here since this is an all new market for Hyundai. Will the aftermarket wait to see how well this vehicle sells before committing parts? It’s clear the Bronco already has a fan base but the SC is uncharted water.

I may be in the minority here, but I am hoping for some nice looking running boards.

Probably just some weathertech custom floormats and possibly aftermarket leather seat skins if you can't get the leather seats as an option on the trim that otherwise has everything I want (Tucson problem).

Front bumper bull bar that will fit a winch and off-road lights with an aluminum or stainless skid plate! 🤤😎👍

16" will have to be checked for rotor and caliper clearance. Hoping 17" will fit, but won't likely be changing wheels and tires until the initial set is ran for years.

Big question will be if Tucson wheels are interchangeable with the SC. If so, finding someone local to do a swap + cash might be an easy exchange for those wanting just a bit more sidewall.

The 17" wheels on the Tucson Hybrid Blue trim aren't bad IMO and wear 235/65s.

I learned yesterday that there are lots of available accessories/options for the SC. As we mentioned in a different thread about some of the pics, from what I remember the dealer clicking through on the system, available accessories/options included the running board steps, door accent panel (in that baby blue pic), fender flares (I think), tonneau cover, dimmable rearview mirror, tow hitch, something about cross rail something or other, umm that's all I can remember... If you ask maybe it'll trigger my neurons.

Does the tow hitch say what wiring pins it has? If it can tow 5K lbs, it better have trailer brake control.

 

[BeelineS82]

It didn't say that from what I saw on the selection menu, just said "tow hitch."

 

[JMII]

Fender flares would be nice. How about an option to delete the worthless porthole in the back window?

 

[HSC4ME]

Go base SE model and the porthole disappears!

 

[BeelineS82]

I did get confirmation that they are developing a bed extender that flips out to the length of the tailgate (a la Baja/Sport Trac). No word on timing.

Oh yeah, I remember skid plate was an optional accessory that was also on the list.

Some of the other info I've read says it is pre-wired, so I assume a plug and play

 

[charlesBear]

This the direction my Santa Cruz is gonna go

 

[Jdens]

There are plenty of aftermarket doggos available. The other accoutrements look nice also!
