In this Evolution D-Max GT4 review, we’ll cover its performance, battery range, cargo capacity, off‑road capability, and who it’s best for. At Evolution Cart Depot , we carry the full D-Max lineup.

Performance & Driving
The GT4 shares the same 5kW AC motor and lithium battery as other Evolution models, so you get the same smooth acceleration and 25 mph top speed. However, the heavy‑duty suspension and all‑terrain tires make it much more capable off‑road.
- Off‑road handling – Excellent on gravel, dirt, and grass. The 8” ground clearance prevents bottoming out.
- On‑road ride – Firmer than the Maverick or Ranger, but still comfortable for short trips.
- Hill climbing – Effortless even with a full load of passengers and cargo.
Owners report the GT4 feels stable and planted at speed, thanks to the wider track and aggressive tires.
Cargo Bed Capacity
Unlike fold‑down seat models, the GT4 has a dedicated cargo bed:
- Dimensions – 35” long x 45” wide.
- Load capacity – 500 lbs.
- Dump feature – Bed tilts for easy unloading (optional on some trims).
- Tie‑down points – Multiple hooks for securing loads.
This makes the GT4 perfect for hauling feed, tools, firewood, camping gear, or hunting equipment.
Battery & Range
- 105Ah standard – 40‑60 miles, enough for a full day of work or play.
- 160Ah upgrade – 60‑75 miles for large properties or extended trips.
- Charging – 4‑6 hours via standard 110V outlet.
For heavy off‑road use, we recommend the 160Ah battery. See our golf cart warranty for battery coverage.
