I have a car it an 05 dodge neon sxt 5 speed and i cant transfer by myself into it that easy. i want a truck thats easy to transfer in and out. Also take in my im 16 so im gonna either get an extended can or quad cab so ill have enough room for my friends to get in.

I have a 03 Honda Element that I love it’s really easy to get in and out of. They only come with a 2.4L but it still gets up a goes :hug: they get around 20 mpg and if you fold the seats down it make a big bed :D . I’ll have to see about getting pictures, maybe a video, of how I get in and out. There’s plenty on room on the inside for your chair. If I put the chair in my self only two other people can ride with me but if three people want to ride then some one has to put my chair in the far back.

I drive a 99 Ford F250 4x4 Diesel, It has the extended cab with the small doors that open suicide style, I get in on the passenger side, and pull my chair up, take off the wheels and put them behind the passenger seat, then fold my backrest down and scoot over on the seat and pull the chair in at the same time. It prolly isnt the best vehicle for a para, but its what I wanted. I'll have to get somebody to take some pics of me getting in and out of it, then I can post them, we are in the process of building a lift that mounts in the box, so I can take my powerchair with me when I go to my farm and wherever I want to. A powerchair is nice when its raining or muddy out.. :)

I'll have to get some pics of it hooked up to our big 30ft flat bed trailer here this spring with my demo cars on it :drive:
