At least in Oregon, you need only use as many seat belts as you have. It’s legal to have more people than belts. I’m not saying I would do that though.

This is the state that won't let you pump your own gas ?

If you’re paranoid about it, don’t do it.

Our truck seats 6 and have done it many times. Just put the littlest one up front and drive on.

Nissan nv 3500. Lots of cargo and tow capacity.

Which might mean leaving one of the kids at home,

An easy solution would be have the second adult drive an additional vehicle, and put a couple of belly buttons in that.

My 2018 GMC crew cab has the flip up console and will seat 6 legally. The 11 year old could sit in the front center.

Besides the legalities of seat belting, my first thought would be -- would you want to go on an extended drive with that many people crammed in the cab?

Local camping, under 30 minutes away, sure. Otherwise I'd try to figure out other transportation options, such as having some people go separately in a car.

Back in 2015 I picked up my F-350 and the first camping trip was 1200 mile 1 way with me, DW, our 2 kids 15 and 20 and our 2 nieces also 15 and 20... I have the 40-20-40 up front with the 3rd belt in the middle...
