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.

Ford driving Alaskan maniac rams toddler-carrying SUV

Mon, Jul 25 2016

A couple from Anchorage had a frightening traffic encounter when they were followed and repeatedly rammed by a stranger in a pickup truck. Grace Bernert, her boyfriend, and his two-year-old daughter were returning home from a trip to downtown Anchorage when they noticed a blue, 2001 Ford F-150 following closely behind them. "The guy was so close, we couldn't see his headlights," Bernert told KTVA. Bernert, who was riding shotgun, pulled out her phone to record the truck when it struck the rear end of their Acura SUV. That's when she called 911. Bernert's boyfriend tried to lose the F-150 in the Sullivan Arena parking lot, then drove to a local Ford dealer's parking lot where he drove through a maze of new Ford pickups in an attempt to shake their assailant. "We started doing circles around the brand new Fords because we thought the truck wouldn't be able to turn as fast as we would," said Bernert. "We were right, but the guy didn't care. He just kept hitting the new fords and backing up, coming after us." The truck continued to follow them, ramming the Acura again and again. Bernert estimates that F-150 driver struck their SUV between five and seven times, and hit numerous new trucks in the dealership parking lot. Eventually, they ducked into a nearby neighborhood where they managed to lose the F-150 and called 911. Bernert told KTVA that she believes they were targeted but doesn't know why. "The guy was either some random sick person who didn't care, or somebody who knew us and didn't care there was a kid in the car," she said. Anchorage Police arrived shortly after the couple escaped the F-150 and filed a report about the incident. They are currently investigating. Recent Video:

Ford Mustang Mach-E fails Sweden's moose test

Wed, Sep 29 2021

The infamous moose test has claimed another casualty. This time it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Long Range, which was tested in an electric four-way alongside the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Skoda Enyaq iV (an electric utility vehicle closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 that is sold in the United States). According to the Swedish testers at Teknikens Varld, Ford's electric car not only failed to hit the speed necessary for a passing grade, it didn't perform well at slower speeds, either. To pass the outlet's moose test, a car has to complete a rapid left-right-straight S-shaped pattern marked by cones at a speed of at least 72 km/h (44.7 miles per hour). The test is designed to mimic the type of avoidance maneuver a driver would have to take in order to avoid hitting something that wandered into the road, which in Sweden may be a moose but could just as easily be a deer or some other member of the animal kingdom elsewhere in the world, or possibly a child or car backing into the motorway. Not only is the maneuver very aggressive, it's also performed with weights belted into each seat and more weight added to the cargo area to hit the vehicle's maximum allowable carrying capacity. The Mustang Mach-E only managed to complete the moose test at 68 km/h (42.3 mph), well below the passing-grade threshold. Even at much lower speeds, Teknikens Varld says the Mach-E (which boasts the highest carrying capacity and was therefore loaded with more weight than the rest of the vehicles tested in this quartet) is "too soft in the chassis" and suffers from "too slow steering." Proving that it is indeed possible to pass the test, the Hyundai and Skoda completed the maneuver at the 44.7-mph figure required for a passing grade and the Tesla did it at 46.6 mph, albeit with less weight in the cargo area. It's not clear whether other versions of the Mustang Mach-E would pass the test. It's also unknown if Ford will make any changes to its chassis tuning or electronic stability control software, as some other automakers have done after a poor performance from Teknikens Varld, to improve its performance in the moose test.
