Taking the Golf Cart question

I have a golf cart that I want to take with us when we camp.

For the past 5 months, I've had the camper onsite at the Campground. Bought the proverbial cart before the horse. I am now looking for an F350 to tow it.

Is it possible to put the golf cart in the back of a 6' truck bed with the tailgate down? I am currently looking for an 8' bed.

I have a hitch on the back of the trailer. Looked at the Idaho Tote, but way to pricey.

Does anyone have a 6' bed that they put their golf cart in?

Just getting input at the moment.

Thanks all.

Tom

    I haul my golf cart on a 5'x8' utility cart and I have to hang the rear seat over the front of the trailer for it to fit. That is, I have to back it onto the trailer.

    Mine fits perfect in the 8' bed, it is a 4 person cart, but has a foldable rear seat.

    I know your question is about a 6 foot bed, but I would hold off for an 8', they are much more usable and worth the wait.

    I know with my TT, if I lower the tailgate there is no way I could drive as it would hit the tongue jack, but all set ups are different.

    This should allow your tailgate to remain open will towing.

    I use these when hauling my ATV in my 6.5' bed. They work well as they hold the tailgate partially open.

    Jack the thing up til it clears the tailgate and block it. My ATV will not fit a 6 ft bed so unlikely a Golf cart will.
