Lifted golf carts in back of truck, how difficult

**tprice** · 07-22-2018, 08:59 AM

Headed to IOP end of this week and pulling boat with wife's Tahoe.

SIL is driving my truck to pull our golf car, Club Car DS that is lifted with off road tires

I see folks all time going doing Interstate with carts on back of trucks

My question is how hard is loading unloading , here at home I can pull my truck in driveway or yard where it lowers the tailgate quite a bit. Do this when loading my Polaris on back

However once we get to our house at IOP it is as flat as it gets and can not think of any where there is a decent ditch near the house to back into

I have a set of the longer ATV ramps that are arched in middle and the handle Sportsman 800 fine but I am guess cart probably weighs more than it does

Trying to avoid pulling utility trailer but not a big deal if we have to just thought this may be easier

I am not aware of a place where you can get enough of a natural slope for you to unload without a ramp at IOP.

Back into a sand dune

drive the front of the truck up on a set of ramps- dry weight is listed at 500 lbs- I think you're good with the arched ramps

See the "why it sit like that" thread.

Boat ramp at low tide. Instead of backing down, pull forward towards water, should be enough slope to unload.

Actually wife made that comment, our house is walking distance from Marina so this may be my best option HOWEVER I do see where this could lead to some interesting pictures IF something goes wrong ��

Won’t work. All 4 tires are on the same slope.

Exactly.

I ruined a tailgate doing the same thing, hauling golf cart. I was riding down hunting club roads and hitting potholes. It has a nice crease were it buckled, it can be closed though.

If I were you I'd quit acting like a woman and run that motherfucker in the back of the truck and go ahead and unload the same way, but that's just me. Hell sportin woodies would jump 5 minivans during the loading process and never drop his cig.

I had the ramps come off the back of my 2500 when I was unloading my golf cart one day. I will say that it is a shitty experience to ride a lifted cart off the truck w/o ramps. Be careful!

Tie the ramp to the hitch and load/unload.
Its not a big deal... And atv ramps will hold you cart fine.

Back the sum bitch into the bed at home and ride it off at the beach. Tie downs keep ramps from sliding off the tailgate.

If you’re inside Wild Dunes, goto Waterway Islam Road where it ends in a loop. Pull off in grass in the loop. Enough Hill there. I’ve done it. Also a place or two by the golf course fairly close to the Marina if you look. Done it there too. I’ve taken just my truck in the past, golf cart in bed and pulling the boat. Or go simple and just rent the damn golf cart. Show up at place and it’s delivered.
