Hyundai Santa Cruz; a Korean built American dream

Why do Americans love pickup trucks? Well, after the great war when multi-tasking was on a roll, pickup trucks made it all possible. Now, in the 21st century, Americans still live the same lifestyle of multi-tasking and this is probably the reason trucks are still not out of style.

To dive into this never-diminishing market, Hyundai came up with a pickup truck of their own. Called the Santa-Cruz, this pickup will bring Korean reliability with American ruggedness together.
“Bringing the Santa Cruz to HMMA demonstrates that Hyundai Motor Company is confident our more than 3,000 Team Members are ready to build a quality crossover for the U.S. market,” said Byungjin Jin, president, and CEO of Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama.

Obviously, quite a bit of this is just gossip now, yet the discussion emanates from Hyundai authorities.

With production scheduled to start in 2021, we ought to hope to see Santa Cruz models out and about entirely soon. With the arrival of the Ford Ranger and the 2019 Jeep Gladiator extending the moderate size truck portion in America, there's surely some challenge anticipating Hyundai's new advertising.
