When you purchase a vehicle, you have the option to personalize and style it however you want. Having a truck or SUV that’s perfectly tailored to your needs and preferences can make driving more enjoyable, convenient, and safer. As for wheelchair users purchasing a converted vehicle from ATC Mobility, you also have options for aftermarket parts and upgrades!
Whether you’re looking to fine-tune the driving experience or retain some features that were taken out when we converted the vehicle, these upgrades transform how you travel. From general options to specific wheelchair aftermarket options for your converted truck, there are plenty of possibilities available! Personalization and convenience are only a few upgrades away.
General Aftermarket OptionsThe following features can enhance the versatility, comfort, and aesthetic of your converted truck, creating a ride that’s not only practical but also a joy to use daily.
Driving a converted truck often means handling additional weight from modifications. Upgrading your suspension system can improve ride quality and handling to make your trips smoother and safer. A robust suspension system ensures that your truck performs well on uneven terrain, minimizes discomfort, and provides the control you need for a confident ride.
For better performance in your handicap truck conversions, consider adding a turbocharger or supercharger. These upgrades boost horsepower and torque, improving acceleration and handling of heavier loads or tough roads. Whether climbing steep hills or cruising the highway, these modifications enhance your truck’s power while staying reliable and efficient.
A great drive calls for entertaining and informative technology. Installing an advanced infotainment system gives you access to features like GPS navigation, real-time traffic updates, and seamless smartphone integration. Hands-free calling, voice-controlled music, and access to apps can make your journeys more enjoyable and stress-free.
Increase both visibility and style with LED lighting upgrades. LED lights are brighter and longer-lasting than traditional lights, which is particularly useful for nighttime driving. You can also explore options like under-glow lights to give your truck a customized, standout look or add a light bar to really illuminate the road ahead.
For those who crave adventure, all-terrain tires are a must. Designed to handle diverse landscapes, from muddy trails to snowy roads, these tires enhance your vehicle’s grip and traction. Pair these with a tire pressure monitoring system to keep your journeys hassle-free, even in tough driving conditions.
Nerf bars are a practical upgrade for wheelchair-accessible trucks, making it easier for caregivers and passengers to step in and out. Built from durable materials, they defend your vehicle against road debris and minor impacts. With their sleek design, nerf bars also bring a polished, stylish look to your truck.
Off-road bumpers are the ultimate upgrade for trucks built to handle tough terrains. Whether you’re tackling rugged trails or navigating unpredictable conditions, these bumpers are made for durability and provide extra protection against impacts. Enhance your vehicle’s off-road performance while adding a bold, rugged look. It’s the perfect combination of strength and style for any adventure.
Tonneau covers are a great simple and smart upgrade you can make that gives reliable protection to the bed of the truck. These types of covers shield your cargo from elements and curious eyes. Not to mention that adding this feature can give your truck a sleek appearance.
Snow plows and trailer hitches are powerhouse upgrades that add unmatched utility and convenience. A snow plow helps clear driveways, parking lots, or job sites with ease, making it ideal for winter work. Trailer hitches handle heavy lifting, whether you’re towing work equipment, trailers, or your camper. These upgrades combine convenience and capability so that you’re ready to tackle both personal and professional tasks.
Powered mirrors and heated/cooled seats are typically nixed during a truck conversion, but ATC Mobility offers the option to retain these features for an additional fee. Powered mirrors ensure clear visibility with easy adjustments and heating capabilities to combat fog and frost. Heated and cooled seats provide all-weather comfort for passengers, making long drives more enjoyable.
Specific Wheelchair Aftermarket OptionsWhile the features above are great for anyone, the following aftermarket options cater specifically to wheelchair users, ensuring an even greater level of accessibility and usability. Once ATC converts your truck or SUV, your local mobility dealer will then apply the final customization options based on your unique needs.
Hand controls are a life-changing addition for drivers who can no longer use traditional foot pedals. This modification allows you to operate the accelerator and brakes entirely with your hands. They come in various styles, like push-pull controls or right-angle configurations, so you can choose what works best for you. Incorporating hand controls into your truck ensures a safer and more empowering driving experience.
A reliable wheelchair locking system makes traveling safer for both the driver and passengers. These systems securely hold your wheelchair in place while your truck is in motion, eliminating the worry of unexpected movement. Many models are easy to engage and disengage, saving you time and effort.
Modifying your steering wheel is another way to customize your truck for improved accessibility. Options include adding steering knobs, which make one-handed driving easier, or modifying the wheel to accommodate limited mobility. Steering wheel modifications make every turn both effortless and precise.
With advancements in technology, voice-activated systems are becoming increasingly popular in converted vehicles. These systems allow you to control various truck functions, such as air conditioning, headlights, and navigation, using only your voice. This hands-free approach enhances accessibility and boosts safety by allowing you to keep your attention on the road.
Transforming a converted truck into the perfect ride is an exciting opportunity to align your vehicle with your lifestyle. Aftermarket options for your converted truck provide additional convenience, comfort, and functionality to meet your unique needs.
