Finding the right car that fits your driving style, cargo needs, and comfort preferences is already a big task. When you also need a car that caters to your disabilities, finding the right car might seem like an impossible task. These are the best Ford models for people with disabilities.
Ford Escape
The Ford Escape is already a popular SUV because of its premium comfort. The same spacious interior and high-quality leather seating are a great choice for drivers with disabilities. The Ford Escape comes equipped with voice-activated touch-screen Sync Connect. With Sync Connect, you can stream your favorite playlists, catch up on phone calls, or pull up turn-by-turn navigation.
When compared to other SUVs, the Ford Escape sits lower which makes it easier to get in and out. The Ford Escape also has a remote keyless entry system, a rearview camera system, and the MyKey app. The MyKey app can assist you in teaching your teenager to drive safely. The program allows you to set limits on music volume, speed limits, and city driving to teach younger drivers responsible driving habits.
Ford Transit
The Ford Transit is a great choice for drivers that want maximum cargo space. It offers 100.5 cubic feet of storage space, enough room for as many passengers, cargo, or assistive devices as you need. With the ability to customize the interior to your needs, it is one of the most versatile cars on the market. Choose between eight, 10, 12, or 15 passenger seats. You can also choose between three different roof heights, better meeting your storage needs.
The Ford Transit can be equipped with many different assistive devices including wheelchair restraints, parking brakes, hoist lifts, and hand controls. The power assist seats make it easier to find comfort and control in the driver seat.
Ford F-150
The durable Ford F-150 is also a great option for drivers with disabilities. The interior is spacious and comfortable with leather-wrapped, heated seats. The 2018 Ford F-150 also comes in an available seven trim levels, giving you the opportunity to choose the features and amenities that are the most important to you.
New Ford F-150’s are eligible for Ford’s Mobility Monitoring Program. Hand controls, steering devices, hoist lifts, and power assist seats can all be installed into the Ford F-150.
Ford Mustang
You might be surprised to find the iconic Ford Mustang on this list. But, having a disability does not disqualify you from being able to have a sporty and entertaining car. The Ford Mustang can be equipped with most assistive devices including hand controls, lifts, parking brakes, and even carriers.
The Ford Mustang also comes equipped with the same advanced technologies that assist disabled athletes in participating in their favorite sport. These technologies are calibrated for a smooth ride, giving every driver an exceptionally comfortable drive experience.
Car features like comfort, cargo space, and disability adjustments are important when choosing a car to accommodate a disability. Ford also has a disability reimbursement program available which reimburses disability upgrades up to $1,000. Come by Chestatee Ford today to see these cars in person.
