The EZ Go Workhorse Review

March 15th, 2010 by Terry Leave a reply »

Who needs an EZ Go workhorse? Just about anyone with a few acres to work.


EZ Go has put together a fairly impressive set of options in the utility vehicle niche. We’ll be taking a look at a couple of their big sellers and getting a little more into detail on these machines. We might even have a little fun along the way.

EZ GO ST 4 x 4

In most people’s opinion for all around functionality and power the ST 4×4 might be one of the best models that EZ Go offers. The ST 4×4 can handle it rough and dish it out all day. This model comes with an 18 Hp Honda V-twin engine and lots of room for fuel with a 6.5 gallon tank. It is, of course a 4×4 and 58” bed and 1,500 lb load capacity make t a shoe in for the heavier jobs you might have on the “back 40”.

Ez go ST 350 and 480

The ST 350 and 480 series on the other hand comes with an 11 and 16 Hp 4 cycle engine, respectively. So though it’s lacking the power of the 4×4 model it is more fuel efficient. The bed is a bit smaller at 48” but the load capacity is a lot less at 800 lbs. For the money though, this a smooth ride that is perfect for hauling gardening and light (very light) farm equipment around. Where the 4×4 might be overkill for the smaller jobs, the 350 and 480 models still offer rugged performance at an affordable price.

EZ Go ST Sport

The ST Sport series offers quite a different option to the hardy 4×4, 450 and 350 series. These models are more about getting you there than actually doing something once you have arrived. Think water and getting people to work, rather than hauling things. Most of these models come with a flip-up back seat to allow up to 4 people to ride. All of these models come standard with an 11 Hp 4-cycle engine and 6 gallon tank as well as leaf-Springs w/shocks. The ST 2=2 is the heartier of the series though. This is mostly due to higher ground clearance.

EZ Go’s series of utility vehicles could be broken down into two sub-categories; work and transport. So really it’s a matter of deciding what you will most likely be using your EZ Go Workhorse for. If undecided, just get the straight forward utility model. You can always have someone ride in the bed. Wait, check the manual, I’m pretty sure that is not recommended.
