The functionality of the first-gen Transit Connect helped the Ford model make it a popular choice for customers with mobility needs, making it the #1 model in 2012 and 2013 for buyers seeking reimbursement through the Ford mobility program. The recently launched second-gen Transit Connect is already a favorite in the program that offers up to $1k to buyers who need an access friendly vehicle.
We already know that the 2014 Ford Transit Wagon has went on sale earlier this year with an MSRP of $24,525. For those customers that need a specially adapted vehicle to suit those with limited mobility, the Blue Oval and various other firms have developed a few of solutions to help make life aboard easier.
Customers can kit their Transit Connect Wagons with specially designed features such as a premium seat that lowers for easy access and a lift to accommodate a motorized scooter or chair for an estimated $12,500. If only the lift interests you, that'll set you back around $4,000, with the cost of upfitting a vehicle depending on what gizmos are added.
Installing the equipment into a 2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon can take less than a day depending on the features opted for. Faye Shanor, project manager for Ford Mobility Motoring Reimbursement, has declared that the “Transit Connect Wagon is a great vehicle for our program’s customers, and this is reflected in the sales momentum. The spacious interior, capability, efficiency and affordability make it a no-brainer.”
“The equipment being installed depends upon the needs of the customers,” added William Dillon, president of Gresham Driving Aids, one of the companies that worked with Ford when developing these features. “Some clients only need a lift for a power chair or scooter, while others may need an actual chair for the vehicle that assists them in entering and exiting the vehicle.”
