Recently, Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa was proud to be a small part in this huge victory for customer Tyler Cooley and his quest for a vehicle that would allow him the freedom to drive. At birth, Mr. Cooley was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which confined him to a wheelchair. While Tyler is able to drive a vehicle completely by himself, he needed his own accessible vehicle in order to remain independent. Together with his family and friends, Tyler set out to make his dreams of mobility a reality.
They partnered with the Jett Foundation to assist in raising money for a vehicle that could be specially equipped with a wheelchair crane and a driver seat lift. After months of fundraising, Tyler’s dreams came true. The Jett Foundation raised enough money to pay for his brand new 2021 Ford F-150 that Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa special ordered for him. After a few days of customizations at United Access, a local mobility conversion company, Tyler’s custom truck was finally complete! Tyler brought his beautiful F-150 back to the dealership to have the team check it out.
The team at LHM Ford Mesa are very excited for Tyler to start a new chapter in his life with all the freedom of the open road with his new Ford F-150! Congrats Tyler! Thank you for allowing Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa to be a part of your journey. Special shoutout to Greg Okolita who put in a lot of time to make sure everything went smoothly.
