My sister-in-law has a mobility scooter - so he bought a GMC Envoy and put a fold-down carrier w/ramp on the pre-installed receiver hitch. But the Envoy has developed major rust on the frame (thank you Illinois winters) and he's looking for a replacemeny. I asked him why he doesn't move the hitch/carrier over to their Dodge Soccer-Mom and was told "Not enough oomph!" Be interesting to see what he comes up with. I pointed him at a 4-door pickup but it waas too tall for Vivky to get in and out of easily.
