Introducing The Cushman Hauler XL Long-Bed Utility Vehicle

Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announces the launch of the Cushman® Hauler XL utility vehicle, a new addition to the durable Hauler line-up designed to meet the demand for more hauling capacity with a 68.5-inch-long aluminum flat bed and 1,600-lb payload. The Hauler XL provides the same trusted features as the rest of the Hauler line-up, including a truck-inspired design, functional dash and purpose-built accessories.

“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.”  

The Cushman Hauler XL comes in 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. 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. The Hauler XL ELiTE provides customers benefits such as reduced maintenance, a five-year battery warranty, an automatic parking brake and street-legal capability in most jurisdictions.

The street-legal Hauler XL ELiTE is designed to drive on roads with up to 35 mph speed limits at up to 25 mph by meeting the federally required FMVSS 500 and voluntary SAE J2358 standards. This gives customers a dependable, street-legal vehicle with one of the highest payloads on the market.
