Golf Cart Drive On / Drive Up Rack on Maverick

[Dave O]

I’m exploring having a rack built to haul a small two seat golf cart on my Maverick. Anyone have any preliminary plans or comments on this. I primarily flat tow my 2025 Maverick Lariat AWD Hybrid behind my MotorCoach and I would like to have both with me when I take long trips, I understand the weight limits so the combined weight would be taken into consideration of course. Any thoughts would be welcomed

I have this need also.

Well. Not to tow behind an RV.
I just want a 2-seat golf cart in my bed.
The golf cart is under 1000 lbs. but close to it.

And I then need a trailer on the ball hitch after the golf cart goes in so trailering the golf cart isn't an option.

I only need this arrangement once a year.

I don’t have the golf cart yet I’m waiting to see if what I’m thinking is possible let me know if you come across something David - thanks

I think it is impractical to get gentle enough ramps to drive on without them being unwieldily long. (And then heavy).

So I'm thinking a winch will be necessary. Winch can go on the truck or the golf cart. Either way a strong anchor is needed behind the cab's rear window. That may be the tricky part.

Something like this could work at home.

But looks unwieldy to take with on trips.

Golf cart is 8', even with the tailgate down it wont fit

Yes for Home but a no go to take along - I’m think the golf cart would be on a rack compl above the bed not in the bed so it would ride a a steep angle

I’m thinking above the bed at a steep angle drive on drive off with or without a winch to assist

Do they even make golf carts that narrow?

Yes they call them “crickets” some are collapsible

Could always build a ramp kit like U-Haul has to go get trailers moved from location to another....

This may be a viable option for the light weight cricket

I think no for yours. That picture looks like a toy.
Hard no for mine at nearly 1000 lbs.

The further I got reading this post I thought it was an April Fool's joke. You're gonna hang a golf cart off the bumper of a Maverick!!!!!

I used folding ramps to put a riding lawnmower in the bed. Rear wheels rode on the tailgate it it worked. Something like these might work for you. They fold up. Just watch out for sharp edges…
