These compact trucks may not take up as much space on the road, but they’re still going to make heads turn. The Hyundai Santa Cruz has a similar body style to an SUV, but with a truck bed attached and includes trailer pre-wiring for easy hookup as well as an integrated tonneau cover for easy storage. The Ford Maverick has a more typical truck build, with a rounder body style. The Maverick utilizes every inch of the exterior with the tailgate extending to fold completely flat to use as a workstation or locking in a mid-position for extra lifting support.
