Upgrade the truck. Unless you already have a suitable car it means purchasing something and this is a perfect excuse to buy now your next truck.
I spent a little time this morning look at the cost of a suitable truck that is larger, and I would probably have to sell my commuter car and my existing truck to afford a newer one at this time. As Alfred mentioned, this is probably a one and done trip for at least 6-7 years. So a chase car may be the solution for now maybe. By then, 2 of the 3 kids will be driving so they won't want to ride with us anyway. Thanks for the comment!
