Can a Golf Cart Fit in a Short Bed Truck?

A golf cart is an economical, convenient way of getting around the golf course or a large estate. But if you want to take your golf cart on a road trip, can it fit in the back of a short bed truck?

It turns out that it can – provided you choose the right model.

The most important factor in whether or not your golf cart will fit in the back of a short bed truck is the size and weight of the cart itself. Smaller, lighter models are more likely to fit than larger, heavier models.

If you’re looking to buy a new golf cart, make sure you check the measurements carefully so that it will fit in your truck bed.

Another factor to consider is how much additional gear and equipment you need to take with you on your trip. If you need to bring along clubs and other items, choose a model with plenty of cargo capacity or consider adding an external storage box to your truck bed.

How To Load A Golf Cart Into A Short Bed Truck

If you have an appropriately sized golf cart and enough room in your truck bed for all of your gear, loading it shouldn’t be too difficult. First, make sure that there is no debris or obstacles in the way that could prevent the cart from fitting securely into the back of your truck.

Then, line up the front end of the cart with the back end of your truck and use straps or rope to secure it in place.

If there are ramps available, these can be used to drive up into the back of a pickup truck but they should only be used if they are rated for carrying vehicles like golf carts safely. Otherwise, it is best to lift or carry your golf cart into place.

Conclusion

In conclusion, yes – a golf cart can fit into a short bed truck as long as it is appropriately sized for both the vehicle and any additional cargo needs. By taking measurements beforehand and making sure there are no obstacles hindering its entry into your vehicle’s bed, loading up should be safe and easy.
