Get to Know the New Cushman Hauler XL Long-Bed Utility Vehicle
Need a utility vehicle that can haul more? Look no further than the recently-introduced Cushman Hauler XL. With a 68.5-in.-long aluminum flat bed and 1,600-lb payload, this new UTV is designed to meet the demand for more hauling capacity. The company says the Hauler XL provides the same trusted features as the rest of the Hauler lineup, including a truck-inspired design, functional dash and purpose-built accessories.
From the press release:
“The Hauler XL, whether gas- or lithium-powered, is an industry leader in bed size, vehicle rating, and bed load capacity,” says Adam Harris, vice president and general manager of Cushman and E-Z-GO at Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc., which designs and manufactures Cushman vehicles. “With our five-year battery warranty and patented E-brake technology, it’s built for the most difficult jobs.”
More on the Hauler XL
When looking at the Hauler XL, customers have two powerful powertrain options: A fully electric ELiTE series model powered by Samsung SDI lithium-battery technology, or a gas-powered model with a 13.5-hp gas engine. According to the press release, the ELiTE series is a result of years of collaboration between Textron Specialized Vehicles and Samsung SDI to create a powerful, reliable and zero-maintenance battery for golf cars and utility vehicles. With the Hauler XL ELiTE, customers enjoy benefits such as:
- Reduced maintenance;
- A five-year battery warranty;
- An automatic parking brake; and
- Street-legal capability in most jurisdictions.
Speaking of street-legal capabilities, the Hauler XL ELiTE is designed to drive on roads with up to 35-mph speed limits at up to 25 mph. With this speed, the Hauler XL offers a dependable, street-legal vehicle with one of the highest payloads on the market.
