Lots of talk and opinion... a bit misleading as they really are not showing the videos. Thanks for sharing...Video is set to premiere in 50 minutes:
It should get you to the trailhead for the hiking trail, mt bike trail, dirt bike trail, or atv trail. Not take you down the trail.It was actually the first of their videos I ever gave a thumbs down to. NOBODY is buying a Santa Cruz to go hard core rock crawling. If they are, I have no pity for them. It's the main reason Hyundai is being very careful about NOT calling it a truck.
Yes, it is exactly a "lifestyle" truck. That's literally it's point. It's a road warrior, not an off-road warrior.
I get what your saying. But I would say that I would expect the SC to slightly out perform the Tucson. The Tucson is fairly capable in its own right. Now if the SC is less than capable than the Tucson, that's no bueno.They also attributed some of the issues to the tires. Given that the SC is equipped with pure highway tires that aren't the slightest bit terrain rated/intended ... yeah, off-road traction is going to suck. You know that before you start. If you wouldn't expect the average crossover to tackle what you're looking at, you shouldn't expect it of the SC either. It's just not what it's built for.
Right. And that's the whole idea. It's like on another forum someone posted "That's crazy, my F250 could squash it."It should get you to the trailhead for the hiking trail, mt bike trail, dirt bike trail, or atv trail. Not take you down the trail.
NO! The two engines have different compression ratios. IIRC the turbo's are 10:1. The N/A setup is higher, but don't recall exactly what it is. The factory turbo setup is done right.You guys think slapping a turbo on the N/A setup would be more ideal?
Thanks for the reply! Yeah I'm really digging this SAV been keeping an eye on it since it was first announced like 6 years ago XD trying to debate between this or the new Outlander. Leaning towards this though lolNO! The two engines have different compression ratios. IIRC the turbo's are 10:1. The N/A setup is higher, but don't recall exactly what it is.
