- Giving a tour/review of my 2021 Chevrolet traverse SUV C5 complete spinal cord injury quadriplegic.
*Huge appreciation to the Semper Fi fund.!!!*
I would also like to add that when parking in front of a curb, this vehicle needs a good amount of space away from the curb. The ramp door sticks out much further than the van’s when opening, and can get damaged if you park too close.
Hi everyone! Does the background music get annoying or should I still continue to use it?
no the music works well with the video
Hola 🙋
Hi Brenda
I just got a brand new 2022 Traverse. I had a few issues that u have but I can’t figure one out. With just holding key fob your supposed to be able to open doors. On my only right side works. R u having same problem?
@@jennifervicente94 it will only open up the ramp so it can come out. And the trunk. Aside from that it should only unlock the rest of the doors
Yup , you did great precistance decision girl , 'cara'van 》missleaded name (forcedly used by infiltrated truck m🇺🇸nufacturer netvvorx).
most of misslead name// call name upon americans inventions , truck , car , trailers gooseneck/bumperpull were done by *-eur😧pe🏚nrulers-* .
'Cara' means low quality fiberglass body (mostly founded in garbage town) , and van (fun or fans) means *nothin* 》it just a rewriten call name for fullbody cargo car 😅
Thanks for the video. I'm saving up for my own but wanted an alternative to the van. I will keep in mind the pros and cons you listed. Thanks for always sharing!
I love this for you! And I am so happy you posted
Music is fine didn't even notice it. Very nice informative video.
Hey there. Thanks for posting your video. I've always heard from friends or older family that vehicles in their first year tend to have lots of glitches and it's best to wait a year or so for the next model year to get those glitches worked out whether it be wiring or whatever. I used to have an MV-1 since 2012 and just bought a 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan last October. I love it. I don't find the road noise near as bad as it was in the MV-1. In saying that I haven't gone anywhere with passengers in the backseat yet. I'm itching to do some more road trips soon when the covid numbers are a little safer. I really appreciated your tour particularly on the inside of the vehicle. I'm going to see if I can get the EZ Lock system installed in my van now or soon as opposed to before I purchased it. I'm really surprised at how easy it is to operate independently. Having someone undo the Q'Straint straps is such a time consuming pain in the butt. Thank you for the video. Nice work, very informative.
This is the car I hope to get and it would be perfect for my good friend who is in a wheelchair! And our combined three dogs 🤣
You’re so kind! Wish everyone had a good friend like you!
Thanks for the info. We are looking at getting one for my son.
Nice looking vehicle!
your powerchair- accessible car is cool! how i wish i could buy the same!
Thank you
Before I scroll down to your video I was actually thinking about looking at a unconverted Treverse that made me rember I saw a BraunAbility Traverse
nice car
Cool 😎
Nice😎
Great video. Thank you🤗 16th
You big mad at that cup holder 🤣🤣
Yes they sure did me wrong with that LOL
Good evening how are you? I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing it. What was the name of the company that helped you with the financial part of the vehicle?
Hi. Thanks for posting this video on your Chevy traverse. I was actually in the process of comparing vehicles to get a new vehicle for myself. I was trying to decide between the Chrysler Pacifica, Toyota Sienna, or this Chevy Traverse. One of the things that I noticed in the Toyota is that trying to get behind the steering wheel (I drive from my wheelchair) is that it wasn't very spacious and I was getting pushed off center from the wheel… because the push rims on my wheelchair were spacing me further to the right off the door. I'm C5 quadriplegic in a manual wheelchair. I looked at braun abilities comparison chart and they said that the Chevy traverse is actually less spacious width wise in the front compared to the Toyota as well as the Pacifica... I actually got into Pacifica and it did feel wider in the driver area than a Sienna... but no one has a Traverse in my city so I can’t compare… I was wondering if you feel like the Traverse is less spacious upfront width wise for you trying to position your wheelchair compared to your older van. If you don't mind me asking do you know how wide your chair is?
Hello, my power chair is less than 30 inches wide, I have plenty of space when I sit up in the front, but sometimes adjusting my chair to slide right into the easy lock is a little bit hard. But I do not feel cramped up in there. I think with a manual chair you will have just the right amount of space
@@Brenda-ey8vj thanks for the reply
If you already bought one, I will like to know your experience. We bought a Traverse 2022 (converted by Braun Ability) and it has so many problems since day one.
Hello Brenda remember Rosa Avelar I’m her son I still watch you
How much is it to make the SUV able to have the door modified?
Good for you. Our Traverse 2022 has been a lemon. Check Braun reviews.
Wait but why is she walking I am confused
Or the person talking is not the one filming?
Edit: yeah okay that was the case haha
Awesome conversion!!
What is the name of the people who helped you purchase your car?
K onda brendita esta chingona tu trokita yo kiero una así pero no lo armé con el crédito
Lo k me gusta k uno puede manejarlo también con hand control
Where did you buy it?
Question now that the video has a couple months can you tell me if you recall having less issues with your van. Can you tell how much more ez lock cost?/
Yes the van gave me less issues. The easy lock I don’t know because my vocational rehab at the hospital paid for it
AWD Option?
Is there a reason you chose an EZ Lock over a Dahl system for example, or just what the dealer has on hand.
This is basically what the dealership told me to get. 😊I never really have issues with EZ Lock though.
@@Brenda-ey8vj I figured, I like how the pin is more lenient with depth, we put the Dahl system in our Sienna and it seems a lot more sturdy than the EZ lock but nowhere near as forgiving with height
Any of you have an ATC wheelchair vehicle?
How did u get from the passenger side to the driver side u did not show that part
I only sit on the passenger side. My caregiver drives the drivers side, and we recorded after she started driving too
Who helped you with the cost of the suv? Sorry I could not understand the organizations or company name. Thank you
I meant to type the name on the screen I mistakenly edited out I’m sorry about that but yes it is the Semper Fi fund
Is it 4wd?
Hi I'm looking into this SUV but I think it might be costly. Can you tell me how much it cost. Thanks
Regardless of which vehicle you purchase, you need to plan on $105,000 to $115,000.
Cual es el precio del veiculo
Cuanto te costo
Do you think someone in a manual chair could drive from their chair? I’m worried about the height of the dash.
Did you ever figure out the answer to your question? I was wondering the same thing
@@VeeMarieS yes and yes but you’ll need a transfer seat
What was the name of the place that helped you fund the vehicle?
Semper Fi fund they help veterans
@@Brenda-ey8vj Okay I got my answer on the funds. But my daughter is not a veteran
@@ireneballart7766 I have a family member that just had to replace her van and she spent $105,000, but she got an excellent deal and you really should figure on about $115,000. I know of no organization that help pay for these... You many wish to speak with a local charity. But they would also consider the household income...
La cambiaré por mi Silverado kiero una de esas
This is 4x4 car?
How much was the total cost of the vehicle?
Regardless of which vehicle you purchase, you need to plan on $105,000 to $115,000.
Anyone of you think that the Traverse is better option than the Honda? Thank you!
The Toyota Sienna, is a much better choice over the Honda Odyssey.
I would like to communicate with you. I have a Traverse 2022 (converted by Braun Ability) with so many problems since day one, and I will like to know you experience so far.
Of course, do you have Instagram?
Thank you
Do you mind posting what some of your problems have been? I'm about to get a 2023 modified Traverse from Braun Ability. It will cost a lot of money and I don't want to spend that much if I'm gonna have problems. I also drive from a power wheelchair. Thanks!
I hope this link give you an idea.@@jgweems

What about the noise? I have a Dodge caravan and it’s really noisy. I have to shout to speak with who set in the rare seat.
So What about this one , is it better?
I think it’s a little bit quieter
My number one complaint with the Caravan too! Too much road noise in the cabin. I sit up front and basically can’t communicate with anyone in the back.
@@ShaneLynchArt also in the Chrysler Town and Country to much noise.
Run from the Caravans, you will be far better off with the Toyota Sienna with longevity, noise and ride quality...
How much does it cost?
60 to 70 thaussnd
@@ElZapopano thanks
@@calinmoreno4265 actually depending on how new it is it could range even more than that
@@Brenda-ey8vj Ok.
@@Brenda-ey8vj I asked in my area they said 80K
