I saw the info about the 2026 Santa Cruz, i like it and that might be the one I'll go for. But I keep thinking about the next gen. Do you think they'll announce it for next year? Thinking if I should wait for that or just get this one.
 
I've been checking out the Santa Cruz as well and got some info on it, the 2026 model is more of a mid-cycle refresh rather than a complete redesign. It features a new grille and an updated interior, and they might introduce a hybrid version down the line, but nothing too radical. If you're into what's on the way, it could be worth holding off. If not, the current model is still a great choice.

Hyundai still hasn't confirmed an official release date for the next generation so it could be in the next 2 years but it can also be longer therefore i think that the 2026 is a very solid choice. If you need truck now then you shouldn't wait any longer.

I think the 2026 is a very polished version of the current generation, with some great updates like the new transmission.
The next gen model won't be here for a few more years, so you'd be waiting a long time for an unproven design. my advice is to just get the 2026 one
