2011 Rampvan on Display at Detroit Auto Show
Posted by Megan on Monday, January 18th, 2010
The redesign of the 2011 Toyota Sienna with a BraunAbility conversion offers the same accessibility in a sleek, new package.
Following a preview that’s put an upbeat spin on the automotive industry, the North American International Auto Show opens to the public today.
One of the headlining vehicles at the event is the 2011 Toyota Sienna. The redesign of this popular model has some impressive features, including a sleek exterior and cool options like dual moon roofs and a dual-view DVD screen.
Toyota’s making the minivan cool(er), even for customers who grew up with one as a kid. Click here to read a recent USA Today article on the forecasted “minivan renaissance”. A recent Motor Trend article highlighted the Sienna and some additional mobility features as well.
BraunAbility is excited to showcase its prototype of the 2011 Toyota Sienna with the Rampvan conversion at the show as well. Â Our newest wheelchair van offers the same accessibility and convenience in a more striking package.
The Rampvan will be on display at the Toyota booth until the show ends on January 24th. If you happen to be in the area, be sure to check it out! If not, look for the 2011 Rampvan at your BraunAbility dealership later this spring!

We were the Ambassedor Family for the March of Dimes this past Friday at the Charity Preview in Detroit. We were very excited to see how the the Power Lift Chair and ramp van works. Our daughter (6) has a wheelchair and we’re deciding what meets our needs best. She was so excited when she saw the lift seat as she asked a gentlemen there, “Sir, may we please have this van?”. We are hoping that we will be able to get a used van and add the lift seat and make it much easier for everyone!! Kari, Waterford MI

The Toyota Rampvan is nice, but what about a Toyota Companion Van? Since Chrysler is bankrupt, and the Toyota Van is rated better in performance and reliability by most consumer publications when will Braun offer a cheaper Toyota Van with the less expensive conversion?

Hi Steve,
We have no immediate plans to develop a CompanionVan conversion for the Toyota, but it is certainly a possibility if there is enough demand for it, Thanks for speaking up, I will pass your comment on to Sales. If anyone else would like to see a Toyota CompanionVan please let us know!
