There are plenty of SUVs around that are nothing but a mere extension of the big cars and do the best they can to cramp up the extra three seats so that they accommodate the larger families. But they most often end up being both too big to park and too uncomfortable to carry the sufficient amount of luggage. Not to mention even the seating space at the back is pretty cramped.
A company in Denver called The Stretch Truck can turn a crew cab pickup into the family hauler you need by extending the frame to add a third set of doors and seats to the cab. Basically this turns the cab in to a six-door passenger truck that can fit more that half a dozen people. Great idea for throwing all the boys in one truck on a work site or when your about to have your sixth child and don’t want to conform to a minivan. Not that that is a very exciting option or a much suggested one.
The Stretch Truck staff is pretty well experienced with automotive salvaging including frame and bodywork. This process takes about four to six weeks to complete and can run some where in the ball park of $20,000 on a vehicle you supply. If you don’t own a truck, turnkey conversions are available in the range of $45,000 to $65,000 depending on configuration and features. The company works both on new trucks and on old and that is a really good option to have.
