I too am tired of my big lift van. I find it scary. We have a mini van with ramp lift but I can't drive it and can't get up and down the lift by myself. So, if I got a mini van I could drive, I would need to get a power chair. I don;t want to do that but? Do they convert a smaller type of van with a lift ramp? so it would be not so big and awkward. I have a full size ford now but it is 19 yrs old and should be replaced. Any thoughts on good smaller vans for a lift ramp?

I tired of lift vans and my next one is going to be a ramp style. I would rather have a fold up ramp instead of in floor. This thing I wonder about the transition is when I go down the ramp with my quad hands I might run into the car next to me if they are close.

I haven't tried it yet, but I did talk to an owner down here in Tampa and they were very pleased with it. Yes, someone six-foot tall can fit in it depending on how tall there chair sits. As far as I know, this van has the most had clearance of any mini size van. On Mon, Jun 16, 2014 at 8:35 AM, Fragile <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > wrote: Looks nice. I have a full-size Econoline van, rear suspension is pretty stiff, makes for an uncomfortable ride. I wonder if anybody around 6 feet tall can fit inside a minivan like this?
