Hyundai of Grand Island – What bed features come on the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz for Ord, NE adventures?

Weekend plans in central Nebraska often involve gear—coolers, bikes, boards, tools, and everything in between. That’s where the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz bed design shines, combining clever built-in storage with available upgrades that make hauling easier, safer, and more secure for trips around Ord, NE, and beyond.

It starts with the basics done right. Multiple tie-down points help you stabilize loads large and small, while molded-in shelf slots let you add cross-planks to create a DIY upper deck—ideal for separating delicate items from heavier hardware. A sealed underfloor bin that drains gives you a clean place to stash valuables, wet gear, or tailgating supplies. For longer days out, available add-ons such as an integrated, lockable retractable tonneau cover and an available 115V power outlet bring extra protection and utility when you need them most.

Tie-downs and utility rails: Use standard tie-down points for basic cargo, and consider available adjustable C-channel utility rails and cleats for flexible anchoring.
Molded-in shelf slots: Add cross-planks to create multi-level storage, separating clean gear from muddy boots or tools.
Underfloor bin with drain: Keep valuables out of sight or store wet items; rinse and drain for quick cleanup.
Integrated tonneau cover: Opt for the available retractable, lockable cover to shield cargo from weather and prying eyes.
115V bed power: The available outlet powers tailgate essentials, campsite gear, or light tools.

These features work because they’re thoughtfully integrated. The bed is easy to load, simple to organize, and designed for real life—whether that’s a morning at the farmers market or a weekend at Sherman Reservoir. If you’re pairing the bed’s utility with towing, the available 281-hp 2.5L turbocharged engine and available HTRAC All Wheel Drive bring confident control, and when properly equipped, up to 5,000 lbs. of towing capability.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can the integrated retractable tonneau cover be locked?

Is the underfloor storage bin watertight?

The underfloor bin is sealed and includes a drain, making it well-suited for storing wet items or rinsing out after a day at the lake or trail. It’s a practical place for valuables that you want out of sight, too.

Can I add utility rails and cleats after purchase?
