The main Braun conversion on Ford Explorers is the MXV, a wheelchair-accessible SUV that uses a patented, side-entry, power-sliding door and an automatic in-floor ramp. This conversion lowers the vehicle’s floor and removes the second-row seating to create space for a wheelchair user to drive or ride.

Key features of the BraunAbility MXV conversion
Side-entry access: The conversion utilizes a side-entry system, which is more accessible in tight parking situations than a rear-entry system.

Automatic in-floor ramp: An automatic ramp deploys from under the floor, a patented design that works in conjunction with a unique sliding door.

Patented door system: The rear passenger door is replaced with a sliding, gliding door, similar to an airplane hatch, to accommodate the necessary space for wheelchair access.

Kneeling system: The vehicle’s kneeling system lowers the ramp’s angle for easier entry.

Adjustable seating: The conversion allows for removable front-row seating, which enables a wheelchair user to either drive the vehicle or ride in the front passenger seat.

Maintains towing capacity: Despite the modifications, the MXV conversion retains the standard Ford Explorer’s 5,000 lb towing capacity.
