6 people in an F350

Any doing it ? 2 adults, 4 children ages 7 - 11. Any way you can legally put the four kids in the back ?
  • If you can put another set of belts in the back seat, why not. My dad put two belts in his 66 GMC so my sister and I could rid in the middle of mom and him, in a reg cab!
    I've hauled mine around more miles than I can imagine in a crew cab, bench in front seat. Made everyone have time in the middle front, arguing with the e-manual shifter too! There was very few are we their yet comments. Other than when the AC went out, or was being goofy.
    Like my parents before, let the kiddo's know, there is one way to go camping, put up with it!

  • When I was a child, My dad installed additional seatbelts in a 1967 Galaxy 500. They were every bit as sttrong as the factory ones. We were a family of 7, and on occasion we had 8 people in that car. Everyone was belted in, everytime. Dads rule.
  • My Ram has a flip up console that converts the front row to a bench and yeah we've done 6 people for short stints. There's no center shoulder belt in our Ram so I wouldn't rely on it for any long distance driving, although I think the Fords have a shoulder belt on their front bench models so they may be more workable. I would not put 4 kids in the back row except for dirt/gravel roads at lower speeds. I'm also not above letting them ride in the bed in those scenarios, though. Quick somebody call CPS.
  • No, the only way to haul 6 people is to get a front bench seat. Every person has to have a seat belt as others have stated.
  • The four kids might be happy for five minutes. Are we there yet?
  • I’m assuming you have center console... there’s only 3 sets of belts in the back seat so you cannot put 4 people in the rear seats.
  • 2 in the bed, under a tarp?

    With seat belt laws, you run the risk of going afoul with something putting 4 in the back seat.
