2008 Ford E-350 Handicapped Conversion Van

We bought this van used with around 30,000 miles on it in 2010 and had the handicapped equipment added to it in order to transport my father.  It is in fantastic shape overall. It runs and drives great.  The body is in excellent condition.  There are no known mechanical problems.  It has served us well.  The van currently has 43,382 miles

The handicapped equipment was purchased from and installed by Mobility Headquarters in Houston, TX.  They did a fantastic job and the equipment installed has proven itself. The lift in the side door is made by VMI.  It is hydraulic powered by the van's 12V battery.  It folds up so that you can safely close the doors.  When you want to use it, open the double side doors and automatically fold it down, then lower it with the wired remote.  The rider can then either stand on the lift, which has handrails built in, or ride onto the ramp with their standard sized wheelchair or scooter.  The ramp itself is 30" wide with a lip on the left and right side, and a lip on the outer edge to keep the chair from rolling off.  This lip folds down to allow entry, but folds up and locks as soon as the ramp starts to go up.  You can bring the ramp up either with the remote or with a switch built into the left handhold.  At the top, the rider can either step off the ramp or roll off the ramp and move on to the inside.  Then you fold the ramp up using the remote control.

The rear ramp is made by Harmar Mobility and is made to haul a wheelchair or scooter.  It raises and lowers with an electrical motor.  It has a remote control.  Push a button to bring the ramp back then down, load up your scooter or wheelchair.  There are straps included to keep the chair from moving around.  Strap it down(or don't, I never did), push the up button and it comes up and into the van, keeping your scooter dry and safe inside.

Seating: Currently, the only seats installed in the van are 2 captains chairs in the front.  This auction includes all seats I have for the van.  It originally came with 2 bench seats in the rear, which are included.  We also purchased used but in good condition captains chairs to install in the rear, which are also included.  I believe we paid $750 for the 2 captains chairs we never used.  Neither of these options worked for my dad, so we built a bracket out of heavy flatbar and installed a recliner in the rear for him and installed a seatbelt that fit on the recliner.  The recliner has been removed from the van.  The bracket we built remains, as does the seat belt.  You can have the recliner we installed into the van as well if you like.  It is large and very comfortable, especially when the van is in motion.

The Engine on the van starts up immediately, runs perfectly, does not smoke, is smooth and powerful, and runs as well as new.  The transmission shifts perfectly.  The tires are all Michelin LTX M/S 10 ply tires and have around 40% tread left on them.  The van drives straight down the road and is surprisingly easy to handle.  The A/C works well and is very cold.  All controls are in the front, but the rear has a separate blower.  The radio is AM / FM / CD.  It also has power windows, power locks, driver and passenger airbags, cruise control, RCS, side steps, and a receiver hitch for towing.  The seats are comfortable and in great shape.  The carpet has a big dirty spot where I am assuming they spilled hydraulic fluid when the side lift was installed.  It has been cleaned twice and disappears but comes back after a while.  I would venture to guess that one could get it out if done enough times, but it never bothered us that much so we didn't do a lot about it.  This is the biggest and really the only defect on the van that I can think of.  As I stated, it looks great, operates like an almost new automobile, rides well, and is comfortable to ride in.

The van is located at my business in Carmine, TX 78932.  Carmine is directly between Houston and Austin on Highway 290.  The van and my business are on Hwy 290, so it's easy to find.  I am here almost every day all day, and can meet you pretty well anytime if you want to see it in person.  You won't be disappointed.  If you have any questions at all, feel free to email me or give me a call on my cell phone at 979-249-6267.  My name is Bradley.  If I don't answer, leave a message and I will get back to you pretty quickly.

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort

Fri, 24 May 2013

Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.

Report: GM struggling to market turbo technology

Tue, 20 Apr 2010

In the automotive realm, marketing can sometimes prove just as important as the actual product. Take, for instance, Ford's well regarded EcoBoost technology, which couples turbocharging with direct injection to produce more horsepower and reduce fuel consumption. Would it surprise you to hear that General Motors has had similar technology on the market for over three years?
It's true. GM's first turbocharged, direct injected powerplants hit the market for the 2007 model. The 2.0-liter Ecotec mills put down an impressive 260 horsepower and a matching 260 pound-feet of torque, and they were lauded by the press in the engine bays of the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Chevrolet HHR SS. But few people outside a core group of enthusiasts actually remember this fact.
Says Uwe Grebe, executive director of GM's global advanced engineering, "We didn't have a badge and say, 'This is the most important thing we will put on all our brochures.'" Ford, however, did just that, and it's EcoBoost engines are right at the tips of all our tongues when we discuss today's most advanced powerplants. So, how does The General fix its mistake?

Ford also working on 200-mile EV to compete with Bolt, Model 3

Fri, Mar 6 2015

The Chevrolet Bolt is on a lot of people's radars. You may have even noticed friends and colleagues who harbor very little interest in the automotive world, or anything labeled as "green," who have taken notice of a 200-mile electric vehicle coming out of Detroit. Mass appeal is the idea, after all. You can include Ford in the list of interested parties, in this case with the intention of taking direct aim at the Bolt – and, by proxy, the Tesla Model 3 – with an affordable, long-range EV of its own. Ford will unveil its own long-range EV, positioned to compete with Chevrolet, later this year, according to Automobile. Details are very scarce about Ford's plans, but we do know that the Bolt (or whatever the Chevy all-electric hatchback will end up being called) is expected to offer over 200 miles of driving between charges, with a sticker price around $30,000. The other major player, of course, is Tesla's smaller, more affordable sibling to the Model S. The Model 3, also slated to go on sale in 2017, should cost less than $40,000. While Tesla has established itself in the EV world, another long-range EV out of Detroit would win some customers from the California-based startup. For now, though, we'll just have to wait, as Ford remains tight-lipped about its plans for the car. Automobile predicts a possible unveiling at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, what with California's EV mandate being a driver of strategy for various automakers. Most can agree, though, that a larger field of options – while not ideal for backers of the Bolt or Model 3 – will only benefit the car-buying public.
