Forum people, after two years of ownership, I needed to get rid of the Santa Curz because the inevitable happened and I NEEDED A REAL TRUCK. I put 37K miles on my SEL and was relatively happy the whole time... still on factory tires and brake pads... averaged a steady 26 miles per gallon (when not towing). The automatic tailgate stopped working tho...
But I traded in my jetski for a boat, and now I need a real truck. That's the ultimate problem with the Santa Cruz; you can only do so much in a small, light weight, 4c vehicle. It towed a single jetski no probs, but it is unable to do much more... here is info on that is anyone is interested...

So now I am a RAM guy... The truck is faster and bigger, and gas mileage is cut to an average of 16/17 per gallon. But i did enjoy my time in the smallest pick-up possible...
Later!!!!!
