Whether you find yourself needing more golf car cargo room, more passenger room, or both, it can be tough to know which rear seat kit is designed to best fit your needs. This is a case where not all rear seat kits are created equally. This quick guide will help you make the best decision for your golf car.
What is your main objective?
Before you purchase a golf car rear seat kit, think about your primary need and ask yourself these questions:
- Do I need more cargo space? If so, what kind of space
- Do I need more passenger room?
- Do I need both?
- Am I also a golfer and need to carry my golf bag?
- How much weight does the rear seat kit need to support?
Once you think about these questions, continue to select the perfect rear seat kit. Keep in mind that it is recommended that every golf car with an aftermarket rear seat kit be upgraded to heavy duty leaf springs. Not only will it make for a smoother passenger ride, but it will also prevent the golf car from rubbing and causing possible damage.
I Need Cargo Space
If you use your golf car for gardening, hauling cargo, hunting, or carrying any type of cargo on a regular basis, you will want to purchase a rear seat kit that accommodates cargo and heavy weight. The average rear seat kit has a fold down cargo bed that is perfect for supporting a large cooler, beach equipment, or any other cargo of average weight. Since the bed is flat, keep a set of bungee cords handy to strap the cargo down.
If you are transporting mulch, rock, or using the rear seat to carry hunting game, you will want to consider a rear seat kit with contained cargo space and a higher weight capacity. Rear seat kits with spring loaded tailgates and composite board cargo platforms will carry far more cargo and remain durable project after project.
I Need Passenger Space
Cruising your golf car around with your children or friends comfortably seated on the rear seat is so much fun, especially for those who live in a community where golf cars are a primary means of transportation. If you will not be using the cargo space of the seat kit very often, opt for a less expensive seat kit with a 400lb weight capacity and upgrade with comfy seat cushions and cup holders. Your passengers will be riding in style and will appreciate you for it.
Don’t forget to keep your rear passengers safe with seat belts, especially if they are children.
