BraunAbility to Make Ford Explorer First Wheelchair-Accessible SUV

WESTLAND, Mich.– There couldn’t be a better way to mark the 25^th year of the Americans with Disabilities Act than for BraunAbility to make the Ford Explorer the first wheelchair-accessible SUV.

BraunAbility, a world leader in the mobility business, will produce a wheelchair accessible vehicle, the MXV, on the foundation of the Ford Explorer. The MXV will provide convenience to wheelchair users as well as many of the great features included in Ford’s best-selling sport utility vehicle, making it the ultimate wheelchair-accessible vehicle.

Starting Aug. 4, BraunAbility will manufacture the MXV in its 170,000-square-foot facility in Winamac, IN, and by the early fall you’ll be able to purchase the MXV at over 200 U.S. BraunAbility mobility dealers.

BraunAbility unveiled the MXV concept vehicle earlier this year in Daytona, Florida, and promised the first production MXV would be donated to wounded veteran and United States Marine Mike Delancey, who was paralyzed by a sniper’s bullet while serving in Iraq in 2006. Don't you think it’s exciting that Ford gets to play a huge part in improving the mobility of men and women like Delancey?

Plans for BraunAbility to make the Ford Explorer the first wheelchair-accessible SUV means the MXV will come packed with technology from both companies. In regards to wheelchair accessibility, the MXV will include

• Patented sliding-door technology
• Removable driver and passenger seats
• A powered and lighted in-floor ramp
• Plenty of maneuvering space for wheelchairs 

By using the Ford Explorer as the foundation of the MXV, the wheelchair-accessible SUV will also provide impressive performance features, including like a 3.5-liter V6 engine; an EPA-estimated rating of 17 miles per gallon city, 24 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined; and a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.

You don’t normally see wheelchair-accessible vehicles that look and perform like a quality sport utility vehicle such as the Ford Explorer, but evidently that’s about to change. When it comes down to it, you know BraunAbility chose the Ford Explorer as the base for its MXV because it’s a well-known fact that Ford makes quality vehicles. Come test drive the New Ford Cars and New Ford Trucks at our Garden City area Ford dealer and you’ll understand!

The 2016 Explorer targets this target market very successfully! What this does in turn for Ford is create the “customer for life”. By attracting drivers early to the brand, Ford is creating this customer loyalty that is very important in regards to millennial and teen drivers. The auto company hopes that once these drivers get their hands on their 1^st Ford model, they will have a loyalty to the company.

Erich Merkle, a U.S sales analyst for Ford states; “Explorer contributes more to Ford’s millennial sales and share growth than any other passenger car or utility vehicle in the lineup”.

Ford's New Police Interceptor to Debut at Chicago Auto Show

WESTLAND, Mich. – With any auto show comes the anticipation of new vehicle debuts. While we all may be a bit biased towards the Detroit Auto Show since it takes place right here at home, we must not forget that automakers use various other auto shows as the stage for new model debuts as well. And that's what Ford Motor Company is doing! According to a teaser tweet the automaker sent out, Ford's New Police Interceptor will debut at the Chicago Auto Show next weekend!

Ford is being quite reserved with this one, giving us only the slightest bit of information to peak our interest. The tweet, sent out via Ford Motor Company's Twitter account is pretty much the only insight we have into the new Police Interceptor's debut set for February 12th. But from the looks of it, one might guess that the new utility vehicle is based off the civilian 2016 Ford Explorer that was revealed at the LA Auto Show. Since the current utility Police Interceptor is based off of the Explorer, it's not unrealistic to think the new Ford Police Interceptor debuting at the Chicago Auto Show will be too!

Press days for the auto show in Chicago kick off on February 12th, with the show opening to the public on February 14th. So in just over a week, we'll have complete details on which new Ford police vehicle we can expect to begin seeing on the roads!

Whether you're looking to upgrade your law enforcement agency's fleet or your personal lineup, the Ford Explorer is built to exceed your every expectation and need. Stop by to take one for a test drive to see what this SUV is made of!
