/o/. In search of a van with a raised roof for my Mom and my sister. Sister is handicapped and we need a full sized van for a lift and her wheelchair.
Need something reliable, doesn't need to be brand new, but nothing very old. 4WD (if possible) would be nice, but not needed. She's owned Chevy/GMCs, but our current 03 Chevy Express just had the engine go out, the trans is fucking itself and the whole underside is rusted to fuck and back.
We currently have a '94 GMC Van we use as a backup. Anyone have any experience with anything else? We've been recommended to get a Ford instead of another Chevy. Anyone have any experience with Vans?
Thanks. Pic-not related.

couldnt you just pick up one of those braun ability siennas for like 6k?
DELICA
>>16005713
not OP but I am considering a Delica as a camping/touring van.
All the cheaper ones seem to be fucked from hauling around islander families though. Aside from that and the older 4x4 express is there much option for a cheap offroad van?
this is now an express/l300/delica thread

Budget
Natsun NV3500
Highly configurable interior.
High roof option. Built on truck chassis.
RAM Promaster city and Ford Transit connect are also good choices.
Easy to drive, better fuel economy, and low floor so plenty of headroom even though the roof doesn't look that high.
>4x4
fuck off

With a decent set of tires and maybe a lockable rear differential, all vans will do good off road

maybe. will need some suspension work for some of the older hiace campers though
OP as fucked up as this sounds, you should be looking for vans that are already handicapped converted.
Dont try to reuse you old lift.
The market lately is weird and its actually cheaper to buy a handicapped (used) van with low miles than a normal one.
Use search tempest to find them.
