If you wanted a midsize truck 10 years ago, your choices included an aging Toyota Tacoma or an even older Nissan Frontier design.

Today, renewed versions of the Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger and Honda Ridgeline have revitalized the segment enough to have spawned a new compact pickup class, led by the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz.

They approach light-duty truck utility from different angles.

Although it offers a wildly fuel-efficient hybrid engine, the Maverick, with robust towing and hauling limits, plus its bouncy ride and barren interior, is a more conventional pickup.

The Santa Cruz is classier and more comfortable, more SUV than truck.

The best one for buyers really comes down to intended use.

Both the Maverick and Santa Cruz start with four-cylinder engines rated at 191 horsepower.

Neither truck is quick, but both are capable.

Importantly, the Maverick is a hybrid that delivers an impressive 38 mpg combined, and we even squeezed out a few extra mpg in our real-world testing.

The Santa Cruz isn’t a hybrid but gets up to 25 mpg combined (22 city/30 highway).

Adding all-wheel drive shaves the estimates for both trucks by 1 mpg.

Both models offer optional turbo engines for better performance.

The Maverick can dash from 0 to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds with its 250-horsepower four-cylinder, while the Santa Cruz is nearly as swift (6.8 seconds) with its 281-horsepower engine.

The turbo trucks are also more evenly matched at the pump.

The turbo Maverick gets an EPA-estimated 23-25 mpg combined, which we confirmed in our real-world testing, while the Santa Cruz actually outperformed its 21-22 mpg combined EPA rating with 29 mpg in our tests.

Properly equipped, the Maverick can tow up to 4,000 pounds, plenty for a small pop-up or travel trailer, or a couple of dirt bikes with a trailer and fuel, but doing so requires the pricier turbo engine. (The hybrid is limited to 2,000 pounds.)

The Santa Cruz is rated at a more robust 5,000 pounds with its turbo engine or 3,500 pounds with its base engine.

The Maverick’s 1,500-pound payload capacity — fuel, passengers and bed weight combined — edges out the Santa Cruz’s rating of 1,411 pounds, and the Ford’s slightly longer bed improves utility.

The Maverick also offers a trailering package — hitch, wiring harness and trailer brake controller — from the factory.

For the Santa Cruz, you’d need to source aftermarket components.

Since both trucks are capable in different ways, this choice comes down to specific use cases.

Neither truck offers serious off-road hardware, although the Maverick comes close.

Both can handle a rutted trail or fire road thanks to optional all-wheel drive, a measure of body armor, and roughly 8.5 inches of ground clearance.

The Santa Cruz XRT trim includes all-terrain tires, front tow hooks and a surround-view monitor to enhance visibility, but the Maverick Tremor trim is the best choice for dirt work.

The theme continues in the cabin, which feels fresher and more upmarket than the Maverick’s plastic expanse.

Both trucks come with large touchscreens — 13.2-inch in the Maverick, 12.3-inch in the Santa Cruz — underpinned by clean user interfaces and responsive software.

But the Hyundai’s extra standard and optional driver aids, including adaptive cruise control, give it an edge.

You can also get more optional creature comforts with the Santa Cruz, such as ventilated seats and leather upholstery.

Both trucks cost nearly the same, with the Maverick starting at $29,840 (including destination) and the Santa Cruz at $30,200.

The latter’s classier features give it an edge here.

Get the Maverick if you need typical truck muscle or excellent fuel economy.

Get the Santa Cruz if you want classier crossover comfort or need to tow heavier loads.
