Wheelchair Accessible Chrysler Pacifica or Voyager: Which is Best?
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, the company that owns Chrysler, Dodge, and other manufacturers, made lots of changes to available vehicles in 2020. One of the biggest changes was the discontinuation of the Dodge Grand Caravan, which has been on the market in some shape or form since it’s introduction in 1987 (we’ve been converting it for wheelchair accessibility ever since!).

Along with this change came the reintroduction of the Chrysler Voyager. Although we’re sad to see a vehicle as iconic as the Dodge Grand Caravan go, it’s exciting to see the Voyager come back. Likewise, it’s great to see FCA changing up their minivan lineup but it can be confusing as to what each model actually offers. Let’s take a look at the models and break it down.
Chrysler Voyager vs. Chrysler Pacifica
At first glance, the Voyager and the Pacifica are very similar. It’s no wonder why – the Voyager is replacing the two lowest trim levels of the Pacifica, the L and LX. This makes the new Voyager a great replacement for the discontinued Dodge Grand Caravan, with its affordable price and its classically elegant Chrysler styling.
That being said, the 2020 Voyager isn’t really offering anything new. If you loved the 2019 Pacifica L and LX trims, you won’t notice much of a difference on the 2020 Voyager – except for the Voyager badge. The same goes for the Freedom Motors USA wheelchair conversion and ramp, which remains durable and built to last on both vehicles. For those who like the Voyager but want more premium cabin features, the Pacifica is a great choice.

The Freedom Motors USA Conversion – Built to Last
Freedom Motors offers the same durable, easy-to-use and built to last wheelchair conversions on both the Chrysler Voyager and Pacifica. Made with commercial-grade vinyl flooring that’s rugged enough to withstand daily wear and tear, the conversion is available with an automatic or manual ramp.
With an automatic ramp, wheelchair users can enter the vehicle completely independently. Using the manufacturer key fob to open the hatchback and a custom key fob provided by Freedom Motors to operate the ramp, no assistance is needed from a caregiver.
The spring-assist on the manual ramp model makes operating the conversion easy. Needing only the strength required to lift a gallon of milk, the ramp can easily be operated with one hand.

Park anywhere with the rear-entry ramp, not just handicap designated parking spaces. With a ramp that’s 38 inches wide and 60 inches long, wheelchair passengers can easily access the vehicle’s roomy interior. Additional seating options make the Pacifica and Voyager versatile vehicles to suit your family or business needs. Remounted OEM chairs in the second row work great for children’s car seats, and a third row bench option can help accommodate more ambulatory passengers for taxi or non-emergency medical transport services.
