One of the great things about Toyota vehicles is that they offer a variety of customization choices. If you need a Toyota handicap accessible vehicle, you can have one fitted with components to meet your needs. The Toyota Sienna is best suited for people in wheelchairs and others who have mobility issues, and here Heritage Toyota Catonsville goes over the different options available.
Wheelchair Accessible Toyota Sienna Models
The Toyota Sienna van can come with a lowered floor, which enables passengers to ride in the front, center, or rear. Plus, with removable seating, a person can easily transfer into the driver's seat or even drive from their wheelchair. In addition, this new Toyota model can be outfitted with different ramps.
Foldout Ramp
If you want to add a foldout ramp to your vehicle, this involves removing its floor and putting in a new one. A purpose-built floor will add several inches to the height of the door opening to allow for easier entering and exiting, and when the door opens, the van will kneel to make the angle for the ramp as low as possible. The ramp is completely flat when deployed, and then it gets folded in half and stored against the curb-side door during travel.
In-Floor Ramp
Your other option with the Toyota Sienna is to install an in-floor ramp, which gets stored under the floor of the vehicle. As with the foldout ramp, putting in the in-floor ramp involves completely reconfiguring the chassis, and also enabling the kneeling feature. The advantage of this ramp is that it stays out of sight until it is needed.
