Wanna bring a golf cart and a Jeep towed

[RJL]

We're selling our vacation home in SW Fla and plan on using our Challenger for future vacations of a month to 6 weeks. I'm thinking I might want to buy a golf cart to bring along with my Jeep towed. Is there a way to do this? Maybe something to put the golf cart on and then hook up the Jeep.

The gladiator bed isn't big enough for a golf cart. Golf carts are 8ft long the gladiator bed even with the tailgate down is around 6ft.

Best way is to buy a new Jeep Gladiator PU and for putting the GC in the bed of the truck and it should fit with the tailgate down.
I'd like getting one eventually myself, but won't be buying new.
Big bucks, even used, for my auto budget.
Another way is for pulling a flat bed trailer and for loading them both on it. My SIL has a tent camper on one, as well as his Jeep CJ5.
Once they get where they're going, they off load the Jeep and use the space for lawn chairs and the like.

Something like this would work.

Buy a Jeep Gladiator (truck bed Wrangler), and a Cricket golf cart. The Cricket is very compact compared to a standard golf cart for transporting. It expands to a usable size when deployed.

Weighs only 303 pounds! Folds down to 28" high! And it's only 32" Wide!





OR, get a Wrangler, and use a rear hitch mount for the Cricket.



FWIW, I did take my full sized golf cart (900 lbs.) with us when we had a travel trailer. It just fit the 6.5' bed. The tailgate had to be removed otherwise it could have impact the trailer in a tight turn.

Jeep Gladiator then put golf cart in the back. 😉

If the OP's Jeep can handle the hitch weight, a mini golf cart on a carrier on back of jeep might work. Mini Golf Carts

That's a pretty cool solution. If the OP has a newer Challenger they seem to be rated for 8,000# towing so it would probably work if the tongue weight of the swivel trailer isn't too much.

I see the OP is from my old stomping grounds of Manahawkin, NJ and it also appears that triple towing is illegal in all of the states he would pass through on the way to Florida.

A utility trailer for the golf cart and the wife follows driving the jeep.

PS: Swivel wheel trailers are gray area in terms of if they are considered double towing. Also, never seen one where you have a toad behind it.

I sometimes take my Smart car and race car on an open 20ft Featherlite trailer. AS far as length goes for a long time I towed all over the country at 72ft but with the open I am down to 60ft. Trailer weighs 1800lbs,

Well,
The OP's not say what model "Jeep" they're intending on towing but, if it's a Wrangler, you cannot tow it on a dolly. Jeep specifically condemns that in the owners manual. Now, I have no idea what the OP's motorhome is rated at for towing but, one might look into an aluminum flat bed trailer that both might fit on. Then, you'd only have to figure where to park the trailer at in many camp grounds.

You're not understanding what I'm talking about.

Maybe you could get the new Jeep Pickup and put the golf cart in the pickup bed the same way all those NASCAR drivers do with a F150 with a GC in the bed. Tow 4 down and it's all good!

Simplest solution is to dump the golf cart unless needed for a disability. Get a bike rack and bikes. Perhaps some battery powered bikes.

Couple of problems you're up against.

1. Double towing. Hit or miss on not getting pulled over in states that do not allow such.

2. Towing weight limits of a Ford F53. The Damon is a nice coach but the F53 it's built on is pretty much limited to 5K lbs towing and maybe even less depending on which chassis model. Your at 4,500 lbs for the Jeep add in potentially 1500 lbs for a light trailer and golf cart puts you beyond the chassis limits. Trailing the Jeep and golf cart will put you well beyond the limits of the chassis.

No worries taking one or the other but the only way to safely get by with both is if the someone else drives the Jeep with the golf cart behind it on a trailer.

24' tailer.... 14 feet for the jeep, 10 for the golf cart.

do not extend beyond 60 feet total.
