you could get a truck, but it’s not an old school bench (like my ‘79 Le Mans I drove in high school).
The 7-seater Tiguan which is just big enough to squeeze the parents in when they visit and compact enough for 5 in the city otherwise. Not quite big enough for a road trip for 6 though.
I personally would rather get a 6 seater truck than a bigger SUV for the most part, but I don’t have to haul around 6 or 7 on a regular basis.
My family was 7 people growing up, my parents and 5 of us kids. A four door car with bench seats gave everyone a place to sit. A station wagon was better since we could spread out.
