How Do Large Families Travel? This Is the Ultimate Solution.
The Problem Every Large Family Faces
If you have a large family, you know the struggle: not enough seats, not enough space, and too many vehicles splitting up on every trip. Back in 2010, our two families joined through marriage — instantly becoming a family of eight. That meant camping trips, football games, church events, and holiday gatherings became complicated fast. Our kids were too young to drive, so every trip required two vehicles just to get everyone there.
But road trips are supposed to be about togetherness, laughter, and shared memories. We knew we needed something better than a minivan — something bigger, stronger, and built for family adventure.
That’s when the idea of a 6-door pickup truck was born.
Why a Minivan Wasn’t Enough — We Needed More
We wanted a vehicle that could:
Seat 8–9 people comfortably
Handle gear, luggage, camping equipment, and sports bags
Offer safety and reliability for long trips
Still have the power, towing, and utility of a Ford Super Duty truck
The journey is part of the vacation — and we wanted a vehicle that made the journey unforgettable.
The First King Series 6-Door Truck
As a self-made entrepreneur with experience in welding and mechanics, Chad began building a solution. His love for the Ford Super Duty platform and Powerstroke diesel engine made it the perfect foundation. With skill, determination, and months of work, our very first 6-door pickup truck was born — built from an F-250.
Once the custom build was complete and painted 9700 Ford Black, the interior was finished — and our family was ready for our first test: a family road trip.
It didn’t just work… it changed everything.
Every kid had their own seat
The truck turned heads everywhere we went
Other families asked where they could get one
Our kids finally got to travel together — in one vehicle
People snapped photos, waved at our kids, and came over at campsites just to see the truck. That’s when we realized—this wasn’t just our solution… it was a need for thousands of families across the country.
From Family Solution to Family Business
We decided to sell our prototype 6-door truck to test the market — and the response was overwhelming. One day, a family from Platte, SD, came to see it. They had five kids and one on the way. One of the boys sat in the middle row, hopped out, tugged on Chad’s sleeve and said:
“My butt feels pretty good in that seat.”
That moment said everything. Comfort. Space. Togetherness. That’s what families wanted most.
That first 6-door build eventually landed in the hands of a wonderful rodeo family in Kansas, where it was filled with kids, road trips, and memories. Our family project had officially turned into our calling.
Why Families Need a 6-Door Truck Today More Than Ever
As our own family continued to grow with significant others and grandchildren, our need for space only increased. And we learned something important: the standard 4-door truck simply cannot serve today’s modern families.
A King Series 6-Door Pickup Offers:
Seating for up to 9 passengers
Full third-row seating
Towing for campers, horse trailers, boats, and toy haulers
SUV-style comfort with full-size truck power
Family safety and stability on long trips
Real memories — not divided caravans
We’re not just building bigger vehicles — we’re building a way for families to stay together.
The Future of Family Travel Is Here
What began as a necessity for our own family has become a mission:
to help other families travel together, create memories, and experience life on the road — all in one vehicle.
Every King Series 6-door pickup is built with:
✔️ Ford Super Duty chassis for durability
✔️ Powerstroke diesel power for towing and longevity
✔️ OEM-level safety and structure
✔️ Comfortable third-row seating for real family use
✔️ Designed, engineered, and built in the USA
We don’t just build trucks —
We build family experiences.
We build memories.
We build togetherness.
This is how large families travel.
