Ford Tourneo Custom Dream™

With one press of your key fob, the tailgate of the Dream™ opens automatically. This simultaneously releases and unfolds the strong and durable wheelchair ramp to allow for safe entry into your internal transfer vehicle. Once inside, your wheelchair is secured by a high-quality docking station which activates once your wheelchair is in position or a four-point restraint system, allowing you to safely transfer and then choose your optimum driving or seated position. Transferring inside your wheelchair accessible vehicle, as opposed to doing this outside with a standard car, is ideal in bad weather or a busy road and will save you from potential strain and injury caused by lifting your wheelchair.

Dream’s™ internal transfer six-way Turny seat provides the ultimate in manoeuvrability, with six different movements available – up, down, forward, backward, rotate left and rotate right. First you enter the vehicle and position your wheelchair, powerchair or scooter next to the internal wheelchair transfer seat. Transferring across from your wheelchair to the six-way seat is done within the shelter of the car. As you will recognise, this does require a degree of upper-body coordination and strength.

Once you’ve transferred to the six-way seat, you’ll be able to choose your optimum driving or up-front passenger position by using the levers attached to your six-way seat.

Dream™ also offers additional passenger seating for up to four friends, family members or colleagues. Please ask our specialist internal transfer advisors about various seating layouts available, to suit your needs.

We’re all unique when it comes to our driving needs so no two internal transfer vehicles are the same. To ensure you have a safe and comfortable drive, we’ll help personalise your Dream™ with driving adaptations and aids, customised to suit your needs.

On your home demonstration and test drive, your dedicated mobility consultant will assess your strength and range of movement and suggest suitable driving adaptations. If you already use these in your current car, we can aim to replicate what you’re already comfortable with. Either way, our goal is to ensure your driving experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Your demonstration car will be fitted with different aids for you to try. The driving aids that you choose will be carefully measured so they’re in a comfortable position for you to use. Your mobility consultant will be there on your delivery day to make sure everything is placed to your personalised specification and will ensure you’re confident and comfortable using all the accessible features of your new car.

If you’re new to wheelchair driving, or you’re changing your current driving adaptations, your expert Allied Mobility consultant will provide a thorough evaluation of your driving ability. They’ll test things like your vision, reactions, awareness and ability to operate your personalised driving aids. This ensures your safety on the road and suitability for driving.
