This looks pretty awesome. Would love to see a video of each seating option with 2 Manual WC's plus additional passengers. Would be a fun video to make. Also, for the power chairs that don't have the WC19 hooks, webloops are needed. How would those work in these vans?

I have a 2023 VMI Sienna side loader bought new 9 months ago. Is there any convenient and low impact way to get more ground clearance, so the side panels don't scrape on speed bumps and elevated parking lot aprons? It's loud and sounds as if they're being ripped off the van.

The Vantage Mobility Northstar conversion is the BEST!

These rear entry's are the best! Great quality!

Great video! Best vans ever!

What is vendor for the ramp? I am considering for a campervan.

Need to build the floors better, they rot out

Are the manual ramps difficult to use

no sound?

ESO Javier!!!!💪🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾

Yogi did 9 vans a day, station 2 an station 3

All great until you gotta access the fuel pump and fuel filter but cant cause the entire bottom of the vehicle is encased in steel.

The ramp key fob is the worst. I wish it was just one click instead of holding it down. It causes battery drain. My ramp decided not to respond today to the incab button or either fobs... couldnt get it in manually either.

buyer beware - this vehicle was discontinued due to known defects, yet the company continued selling the rest of the inventory.

Thank you for demonstrating this

Micah you rock!!

I would've been dismissed for allowing this garbage.

I think you should have a van giveaway have some kind of contest where one person could win a mobility van

very touching tiger ! I met this young man years ago and today i refer to him as uncle tiger .He has helped me and others various times in life big brother is not enough said .Angel is a better word .Being in this industry you find people who truly care ,and folks tiger is one of them.Give your wife a big hug and know you're truly loved .I could go on and on about this great man ,hope all is well.

Nice demonstration, Zach!

Awesome demo, Zach!

ive been in the mobility industry for 35 years and VMI builds a solid product .good people good service a true leader in the industry .

Curious if there is a simple way to make the powered Northstar in floor ramp manual like this as opposed to the crank method for those times it doesn’t want to deploy😏

Why this music go so hard

I already had tremendous respect for Tiger before I watched this. Now it has jumped up many levels. We should all be as fortunate as Tiger and his wife to have a relationship this strong!

We had a 2013 VMI Honda that we loved, but I would suggest you find a different company than VMI to purchase a handicap equipped van from. We had a very poor experience with our $89,700 2021 Toyota hybrid van conversion. While on vacation in 2,300 moles from home in Ocean City, MD we hit a rainstorm. The water shorted out the hybrid system and washed over our feet and into the passenger compartment. Luckily our handicapped daughter was not with us. The Toyota dealer in DE made us pay over $7,000 for the parts to repair the van and since there were no long-term rental cars available, we also had to buy a car to continue our trip. When we arrived home, we were assured that VMI would make everything right. VMI trucked the van to their factory in AZ and found that the firewall in the Toyota had never been sealed. They promised to reimburse us full value for what we paid for the Toyota AND give us a new 2023 Honda (window sticker $71,689) and the difference between the 2 in cash. Instead, we got a check for a difference of $7,038. We asked where they arrived at this figure and never got an answer from 2 different supervisors. Several of our personal possessions were never returned and it took them over 4 months to reimburse us for the parts. Our wonderful dealer helped us to sell that car we had to buy BUT VMI did nothing to alleviate the extra money we expended because of their faulty van. Just as an aside, when we went to pick up our new van, we first drove 200 miles to get it and the ramp didn’t work. 200 miles home. A little later we drove 120 miles to get the van nad the first weekend with our daughter the ramp didn’t work. Thank goodness our dealer helped me find the faulty fuse and we haven’t had a problem since. I sincerely think VMI didn’t give a darn about us or our problems. I’m a retired School teacher and they are a multimillion-dollar corporation and we were treated like dirt.

Drives like a tin can and gives passengers little to no climate control in the back. In the summer, you bake. In the winter, you freeze. The sliding door will often not close.

Can an all wheel drive sienna be converted. Also, Toyota all wheel drive are electric. Is this a problem?

The 2022 Toyota Sienna presents a challenge with this. They made this intrusive counsol with the shifter that extends to the middle. I like the old 2015-2020 shifter/counsol setup better.

So pumped for this whole series!

top heavy, sway danger, no service. drive before purchasing. check on service centers; ie nonexistent. Toyota is dumbing down being associated with this company

check braunability before buying. VMI service centers are not readily available.

Does this come with a driver’s seat that turns so a wheelchair driver can transfer into the driver’s seat?

You failed to compare cost of each. Were the two vans off the lot or did vmi provide the two vans?

My bank account has a sensor, every time I look at these vans alarm sounds and a voice says "EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU CRAZY? DO YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO PAY $89000 FOR A $34000 VAN?!"

Sounds like an annoying LA b.... :D

Living a life of seclusion isn't living. It's existing and nobody wants to live in isolation. If all you need is a handicap wheelchair van to open the door to the world and give you your freedom. Please let us have that. Just going to the store is impossible when you are wheelchair bound. I can ride the bus but takes me 3 1/2 hours round trip. I'd have to go back every day for a week to get everything that I need. It's an all day journey to go to the doctor for an appointment using public transportation.

Pretty awesome van. I’d love to own one, but can’t afford one. It’s very hard to get my wheelchair in and out of current vehicle and I can only go out when my wife goes with to help load and unload my chair.

Far from a quality masterpiece. Definitely not world class. Cutting the floor out completely, destroying the integrity and safety of the vehicle then adding plastic junk to hide everything giving the appearance that it’s not a turd. Nothing state of art. That went out the window the second they started cutting it up. There a joke for the money and should be ashamed of taking advantage of the disabled. What happened to the nice full size vans good company’s use to build. They had quality and class

Sorry for this naïve question..,but can you have one seat on the other side?…of the door with the ramp?…meaning behind the driver side….in the middle row?…..Thanks❤️

where does the spare tire go after conversion?

Ilke vmi Northstar hybrid 2021 toyota sienna hybrid

Mine gets here tomorrow in Blueprint with Moonstone interior.

Getting ready to buy a mobility van. This video has made it clearer that VMI is a very good choice for me. I really appreciated how many questions the video answered for me as well as highlighting the questions I need answered. Thank you!

Is it in your plans to convert other hybrid mini-vans as well, such as the Chrysler Pacifica?
