Seating & Passenger Comfort
The GT6 comfortably seats six adults:
- Front bench – Two passengers.
- Middle bench – Two passengers (forward‑facing).
- Rear bench – Two passengers (forward‑facing).
All seats have lap belts and comfortable foam padding. The extended wheelbase provides a smooth ride even with a full load. The rear benches can be folded individually for partial cargo space while still carrying passengers.
Cargo Bed Capacity
Despite carrying six people, the GT6 still has a usable cargo bed:
- Dimensions – 35” long x 45” wide (same as GT4).
- Load capacity – 500 lbs.
- Dump feature – Bed tilts for easy unloading (optional).
- Tie‑down points – Secure loads with straps.
This is perfect for hauling groceries, tools, sports equipment, or camping gear while the whole family rides along.
Performance & Driving
The GT6 shares the same 5kW AC motor as other D-Max models, so acceleration remains brisk even with six passengers. The heavy‑duty suspension and all‑terrain tires handle rough terrain well.
- Off‑road handling – Stable and capable on gravel, grass, and dirt.
- On‑road ride – Firm but not punishing; ideal for short trips between fields or buildings.
- Hill climbing – The motor handles inclines easily, even with a full load.
Owners report that the extended wheelbase makes the GT6 feel very stable at 25 mph.
Battery & Range
- 105Ah standard – 40‑60 miles. For typical use (weekly errands, property checks), this is sufficient.
- 160Ah upgrade – 60‑75 miles. Recommended for large farms or frequent long trips with heavy loads.
- Charging – 4‑6 hours via standard 110V outlet.
With six passengers and cargo, expect range to be at the lower end of estimates. The 160Ah battery is a smart investment for heavy‑duty users. See our golf cart warranty for battery coverage.
