Built to Last: Hummer Strength with Ford Reliability
The VPG MV1 is engineered with a body-on-frame construction, similar to heavy-duty trucks and SUVs, ensuring exceptional strength and longevity. In fact, it shares its robust frame design with the legendary GM Hummer, a testament to its durability. Powering this vehicle is Ford’s renowned 4.6L V8 engine, a workhorse known for its reliability and performance, commonly found in Ford F-150 trucks and Crown Victoria police cars. All components are sourced from industry-leading automotive manufacturers, guaranteeing quality and dependability.
Factory-Built Wheelchair Accessibility
Unlike modified vans, the VPG MV1 boasts a factory-installed wheelchair ramp. This crucial feature eliminates the need for aftermarket modifications involving cutting and welding, which can compromise the vehicle’s structural integrity and increase the risk of corrosion over time. The factory integration ensures superior service life and reliability, providing peace of mind for years to come.
Spacious Interior Designed for Comfort
Step inside the VPG MV1 and experience a massive and comfortable interior. Specifically designed to accommodate wheelchair users, the vehicle prioritizes the passenger seat position for wheelchair accessibility. Mobility dealers can assist with modifications to move the driver’s seat to the passenger side, enabling driving with hand controls directly from a wheelchair or after transferring to the driver’s seat.
Towing Capacity and CNG Option
The VPG MV1 is not just about accessibility; it’s also a capable vehicle with a 4000 lb towing capacity. Hitches are available for $350, allowing you to tow lightweight to mid-size RVs or boats, expanding your travel and leisure possibilities. Furthermore, consider the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) variant for significant cost savings and environmental benefits.
The Advantages of CNG for Your VPG MV1
Opting for the CNG VPG MV1 offers compelling advantages:
- Economical Fueling: CNG can cost as little as $0.40 per gallon equivalent when filling up at home overnight, comparable to electric vehicle charging costs. Even at rapid-fill CNG stations, the price is around $2.12 per gasoline gallon equivalent, offering stable and predictable fuel expenses.
- Extensive CNG Station Network: CNG stations are available in most major cities, facilitating transcontinental travel. You can find station locations at the Alternative Fuels Data Center.
- Long Range and Low Maintenance: Enjoy a range of up to 300 miles on a CNG fill-up. These vehicles are known for low maintenance and a long lifespan, often exceeding 300,000 miles.
- Environmentally Friendly: CNG is a clean-burning, domestically sourced fuel, reducing your environmental footprint.
- Easy Servicing: Any qualified mechanic can service a CNG VPG MV1; no specialized skills or tools are typically required. The primary disadvantage of CNG is the less dense station network, particularly in rural areas.
