Does anyone have information on a full size American taxi. I used one a few years ago and will now require one due to a leg in a cast.

Sorry for being clueless. Could you define an American taxi? You aren't referring to the iconic Checker Marathon, right?

The taxi I used in the past was a full size Ford or Mercury. The drivers name may have been Pedro

I have Tomas big car in my contacts. I never used him, but thought he might come in handy someday. 755-113-2839....is the number I have. This was from a few years ago. Let me know if this works for you.

I think I have ridden in that taxi a few times, but I don't have contact info for him. If it is the same guy, he worked at the Northwestern University print shop. If you do get hold of him you are going to need to be sneaky as it is illegal for him to pick up on the airport grounds. I know ETASA has some full size vans at about 1200 pesos per ride. If you just have 1 or 2 people, maybe you could sit sideways in the back seat of the small regular size taxis. I did about 5 years ago when my leg was in a cast.

All you have to do is have him pick you up outside the entrance to the parking lot. Just walk across the parking lot. There are always taxis waiting just outside the parking lot. That is also where the combis wait to take you to el Centro (straight ahead) or to Barra de Potosí (on the left).
A very popular car that the taxistas use is the Toyota Avance. It is small but offers pretty good leg room in the back.
True enough, but if he is in a cast, even if it is a walking cast, that’s quite a hike with baggage.

Thank you for all the responses. I am using the van service from the airport to Ixtapa. My requirement for a large taxi is for transportation between Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo for my two month stay. I also use a "knee walker scooter" which has to fit in the trunk. One of concerns is when my wife and I go grocery shopping, there may not be adequate space in a compact vehicle.
