With the Deluxe Van Platform, a full-size van with rear double doors becomes like a pickup truck, capable of hauling loads up to 500 pounds. Standing upright just inside the rear doors, the platform folds down then is secured by braces attached to a bar that extends from the van's receiver hitch and by latches affixed to the bottom of both doors. When not being used, it can be dismantled and removed. It comes with tie-downs and is equipped with lights for safety.
