6-Door Trucks: The Ultimate Big Rigs

6-Door Trucks: The Ultimate Big Rigs

For some people, normal trucks are not enough and four doors are too few.

The advantages of pickup trucks are undeniable: large cargo space, rugged off-road capabilities, and passenger comfort, plus the ability to tow a caravan or boat for outdoorsy holidays. A pickup truck is the perfect vehicle if you’re looking for versatility and practicality. But what if you have too many passengers in tow to fit into a standard pickup truck? A large family can quickly exceed the capabilities of a standard truck, and if you find yourself with more people than seats, you might start to consider getting a second vehicle. However, there is another option, one not often considered since it’s not exactly a common choice: a custom-made six-door truck. These vehicles provide the complete package for someone who wants the benefits of a pickup truck with the passenger space of a three-row SUV plus an extra door or two to get children and pets in and out quickly and easily.

A rare sight on US roads, these custom jobs can be fairly expensive, but if running two vehicles is not an option, and you don’t want to let go of the practical advantages a truck gives you, there are a few ways for you to get your hands on your very own six-door truck.

No car manufacturer currently makes a mass-produced six-door truck, so if you’re interested in one, you will have to look into custom conversions to get your dream vehicle. There are only a handful of small, specialized companies across the US that offer this type of custom build, so if you’re looking for a six-door truck, these are your main options:

King Series Pickup is a customizing company based in South Dakota that specializes in six-door trucks. When founders Chad and Angel were faced with the dilemma of hauling a large blended family around, they opted not to buy a minivan and instead created their own custom six-door pickup truck. That first truck became a successful business specializing in converting Ford pickups into six-door monsters, with a range of options and styles available.

One project built by King Series is the six-door Excursion, blended with an F-350 Super Duty to bridge the gap between pickup and SUV, creating the ultimate six-door truck. The interior seats up to 11 passengers, making it an ideal choice to take the whole family on a road trip without compromising on space. The truck bed is lined with a protective coating spray to keep it in perfect condition even after exposure to the elements. A range of tech options are also available when you order a King Series truck, such as the WeBoost Drive Reach device to boost mobile phone signal in your vehicle during long journeys and dual port USB sockets to keep everyone charged up and entertained. Last but not least, a whole host of optional aesthetic features are available to personalize your truck, including custom leather upholstery and smoked glass LED lights.

Custom Autos by Tim is based in Oklahoma, and it’s also a business created out of necessity due to the transport needs of a large family; founder Tim had been building custom cars since the mid-80s, but when his sixth child was born in 1995, he needed a vehicle that could simultaneously carry a large number of passengers and tow a trailer. He decided to customize a Ford F-250 for this purpose, and the first six-door pickup by The Stretch Truck Company was born. Custom Autos by Tim does not exclusively work on Ford pickups; other brands, like Chevrolet and GMC, are also available as a six-door conversion.

Super Truck is a small company based in Georgia, and it sells a wide variety of new and used custom-built trucks, including a few 6-door truck options. With Super Truck, you have the option of selecting an already-built new or used truck from its inventory, or you can order a custom build for a more personal touch. The builder works with both Ford and International trucks: the main six-door conversion options are the Ford F650 or the International MV-Series truck.

Stretch My Truck is based in Utah and specializes in both long-bed conversion and six-door conversions. The six-door conversion is available for Ford, Dodge, GM, and Toyota trucks, as well as the Ford Excursion SUV. Custom interiors are created using factory interior pieces to create a seamless interior that looks like it’s rolled off the automaker’s own factory production line. Stretch My Truck was created by founder Brian Wood when he wanted to venture into business with his own company after two decades of experience stretching trucks.

Like every other custom build, six-door trucks can be fairly expensive. Let’s find out how much you can expect one to set you back…
