The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a neat little crossover – or as Hyundai likes to call it, a “Sports Adventure Vehicle” – with a stubby 4-foot pickup truck bed in the back. It’s not quite as cool looking as its original 2-door concept design or as truck-like as the Ford Maverick, but it’s fun to drive and has some clever design touches like hidden storage cubbies under the truck bed.

These days, there are lots of people clamoring for the return of Ford’s Ranger compact pickup truck. But there’s another Ford that pre-dates the Ranger that I’d love to see make a comeback too. And that, my friends, is the Ford Ranchero.
