While many of us prefer driving to walking, the use of our legs is something many people take for granted on a daily basis. But as any car enthusiast requiring a wheelchair can tell you, your driving options are sadly limited mostly to vans, minivans, and other van-like vehicles. Besides the whole mommy-mobile stigma, there just aren’t many modifications you can make to any minivan that increase the cool factor.
But pickup trucks are among the most heavily-customized vehicles in America, and Mobility SVM has a conversion for full-size GM pickup trucks that can put anyone using a wheelchair in the driver’s seat of a vehicle with endless modification possibilities. For a disabled car enthusiast, it’s a helluva lot better than a minivan.
This patented system affords handicapped drivers the same comfort and space given to any other driver of a full-size pickup. With plenty of headroom and a 45-second loading and unloading time, the Mobility SVM system takes up no more space than the same truck’s fully-opened door, good for any place that has limited or tight parking spaces.
Able to fit wheelchairs as wide as 28-inches, the system can be installed in either the driver or passenger side position, if you want or need someone else to be your personal chauffeur. With trucks now an option opposed to the industry-standard “mobility” minivan, being in a wheelchair no longer means tempering your car enthusiasm by rocking a mommy-mobile. With nigh infinite customization possibilities open to GM’s pickups, the only limit is your imagination.
