Yes it's RV related (sort of...)
I have a 2009 F150 towing a 22' Wildwood. I would like to purchase a golf cart for campground use.
I believe a standard cart is a little less that 4' wide and should fit with tailgate down....
Here are my 2 questions:
1. Can you still tow a TT with the tailgate down?
2. Can you drive an electric cart up into a pickup with ramps?- Meaning does it have enough power to get up into the bed..
Hook up, lower the tailgate and start backing up to see how sharp you can turn. It might be Ok. It might NOT. It may be possible to get a hitch extension since it's a small relatively light travel trailer which would help push the pivot point back.
Yes, you can drive it up ramps into the back of a pickup. With a long bed, it should be possible to close the tailgate.
The bigger issue is payload. Gas golf carts are upwards of 600lbs and electric carts can be upwards of 1200lbs (batteries are heavy). Good chance by the time you load up the truck with people and gear, add the cart and add the hitch weight, you are over a 1/2 ton trucks payload.
