The special track features elevation changes, sharp corners, and sweeping curves \u2013 creating the type of conditions drivers encounter on the road every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To test vehicles\u2019 off-roading capability, the Association used an off-road course that simulated rough Forest Service roads that northwest drivers often encounter on weekend adventures. To challenge each vehicle\u2019s four- or all-wheel drive systems, the track included plenty of loose dirt, deep ruts, steep climbs, and dramatic descents. On both of these tracks, the Hyundai Santa Cruz outshined its competitors, earning it the 2021 Best Pickup Truck Award.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Utility That\u2019s Off-The-Charts\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giving you off-the-charts utility, the Santa Cruz features a well-designed, durable open bed.
