Was a devotee to Ford. Owned 4 heavy duty trucks in last 15 years. Last one was traded for the 6.4L 2500 crew. This truck kicks. Towing a 5th wheel and boat combo no complaints. Plenty of power and handling is surprising. In the good way. Even my wife loves this truck, she wasn't happy with the others. Lumberwagons is what she called them. Enjoys driving even with the 5er and boat behind. Fuel mileage has been 14.8 combined city highway. Towing 9 to 11.9 depending on grade, wind, etc. 4x4 handles off road great.
We showed up at about noon Saturday, 7/28 and were met by Brad Woodruff. We told him our story, We've been online shopping for a smaller SUV which would meet several criteria. Important was the fact that my wife is 6' tall;we were looking for better mileage than our 2011 Pathfinder accords; and the space to carry my ancient bass violin was a requirement as well. Finally, as retirees, we faced budget limitations. We had narrowed our choices to the Toyota RAV 4, the Honda CR-V, and the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. (We'd purchased a 2013 Santa Fe Sport from this dealership several years ago, decided we needed more power to pull a camping trailer, and sold it to purchase the Pathfinder.) Brad proved to be a great listener as he heard our whole story, then brought the 2018 Santa Fe Sport we'd seen on line around to the building for us to sit in. We also wanted to compare the CR-V with it. (We had tried the Rav 4 earlier, and found it less comfortable that a CR-V we'd tried at another dealership. Brad, then brought a CR-V around from your lot so we could do a "Side by Side"- A-vs-B comparison. He let us check them both out, sit in both, take measurements, and allowed us to come to our own decision that, though the Santa Fe Sport professed lesser gas mileage numbers than the CR-V, the Santa Fe Sport was much more comfortable, and large enough to meet the needs we'd stated. Brad was very personable, we chatted a good bit, learned of many commonalities we shared, (His dad was in the Air Force, as I had been, His children were in the band at Tate High School, and that their band director Joe Hooten,(who had been Brad's band director in high school,) was a long time friend of mine, since I taught orchestrate at Tate High School some years before. All in all, it was a no pressure, easy experience to select our car, and Charla made the paperwork side of it more pleasant than we ever expected. The entire venture was simply a process with which we were most pleased . Michael & Leslie Richardson
