Go to Sportsmobile.com. Search for Mobile Disabled. They have an example there.
I have spent some time on the sportmobile site and have exchanges a few emails with them. Today I went to the dealerships and looked at a Transit and a Sprinter. They look like nice vehicles that would meet my needs.
The factory interior on the Transit was nicer would require much less after market up-fitting, so it won on that point.
They are both too tall to fit in my garage so they tied on that point.
The rear seats on both were typical "shuttle van" seats weren't really suitable for my purpose and I would have to replace them on both, so again they tied on that point.
The Transit had a nice system for heating and air conditioning the back of the vehicle while the Sprinter requires you to buy a roof mount unit to do the same thing, so the Transit won big on that point.
The exterior style points were about even with the Sprinter having a slight advantage. Also, the Sprinter won won in the "company reputation" category.
The Transit also offers sliding doors on both sides while the Sprinter only offered a sliding door on the curb side, another big win for the Transit.
I need to call the lift company tomorrow and see if there are any differences between the two when it comes to installing the lift. However, at this point I would have to say that the Transit has the inside track.
If anyone is interested I will continue to post as I work my way through this adventure.
