Reach: Applied Ergonomics |

|
Applied Ergonomics Ergonomics are just as important under the hood as they are in the cab. The engine compartment provides easy access to common maintenance items; wire routing and connections are conveniently placed, brake fluid, the high-capacity 1.2-gallon windshield washer fluid reservoir, fuse block and snap-fit battery cover are all, appropriately enough, within easy Reach. Even the engine location was designed for maximum legroom, allowing for easy driver ingress and egress. The chassis design offers another plus: a tight turning radius that makes maneuvering the Reach quick and easy. In fact, the Reach offers the turning radius of a conventional cargo van—but with double the cargo capacity. |
