Station wagons are an interesting topic, especially when discussed in the United States. This body style used to be the vehicle of choice for family road trips and weekend soccer tournaments, but it has since been replaced by SUVs, crossovers, and pickup trucks. Wagons are still going strong in places like Europe, where they represent over 8% of the market (as of 2022), but even that number has dwindled in recent years.

Why Do Americans Hate This Style Of Vehicle More Than Anything Else?

Ford has issued a voluntary recall for its hot-selling model, the F-150. Over 4,000 units are involved, with 5% of the affected units potentially affected. Given that the Ford F-150 was the best-selling vehicle in America in 2023, with over 750,000 units sold, the relative number of affected units looks insignificant. However, the issue isn't something to scoff at – windshields might fall off due to a production fault.

Honda sold 52,001 units of its Ridgeline lifestyle truck in 2023 in the USA, while 36,675 units of the Hyundai Santa Cruz were purchased. Both trucks are well behind the sales figures of the Ford Maverick, though, with the Blue Oval selling nearly 95,000 of those in the same year. Still, the Ridgeline and Santa Cruz remain popular enough to justify the existence of a unibody small- to mid-size truck segment. These trucks share many similarities and if you're in the market to buy one, it may be difficult at a glance to see which is better. Let's take a closer look to see whether the Santa Cruz or the Honda Ridgeline is the better unibody pickup.
