Hey Gang !!

I'm in the market for a new vehicle, and recently looked at the Honda Ridgeline pick-up truck. Lots of room behind both seats for the chair, and several other attractive features. My question to my para friends out there..............in making the transfer to a higher vehicle such as this truck, is it best to just pivot from the chair to the seat, or put your legs into the vehicle first, then make the transfer into the cab???????? I'd love to hear your thoughts on which way works best for those of you who leave your wheels to drive. AGAIN, thanks to all who contribute as this site is the best for getting the "real" scoop from the "real" experiences.

it's easier to put legs in first for me, I've gotten into some 4x4 that the floorboards were as high as my head and those I had to pull up into without me legs in, the dead weight adds more weight for you to lift in my opinion.

i have a landcruiser 4x4 i lift one leg in & pull up with grab handle

My trucks have all been full-sized but I just grab the steering wheel, pull upper body in, then the legs, then the chair.
There are some great vids on here posted by guys with really big trucks you should check out.

Legs first that way you have more control of you ass and can put it where you want it. Have fun...........
