I have posted in several other threads about how my van is serving me well, but that I lust after a 4x4, high-ground clearance, wheelchair hauler.
Yesterday, I went to McDonalds with a friend and his young daughter. When I pulled in, the only handicap spot was occupied by a pickup. No big deal...they had a placard. I parked next to it and walked into McDonalds rather than unloading the PWC (it was a short walk).
As we were eating my friend exclaimed that the pickup had a gullwing door. He had never seen anything like it. I immediately know what it was.
I quickly stumbled out of McDonalds and met the folks loading their son into a Chevrolet 1500 All Terrain Conversion wheelchair accessible pickup.
It was a thing of beauty. It was fast to load and unload. It was quiet. And, it was a pickup!
They were wonderful and talked for quite awhile, answering all my questions. We exchanged contact info so I could ask more questions later. What a nice wheelchair hauler and an even nicer family.
Now that I have seen it, I have unadulterated lust for one of these. Unfortunately, my wheelchair will not fit!
For those of you looking for a wheelchair hauler, you should add this to your list to check out.
