Sounds like you need a 2nd car, not an all-in-one... because what you seek would be rather hard to find. Or... put the mother-in-law in the truck bed and call it a rumbleseat!

Who is the 7th?

3 kids
+ You
+ Wife
+ Mother-in-law
= 6 people.

Clearly the best option is two vehicles. One cheap beater pickup for the rare times you need an external bed. One nice vehicle that can hold 6-7 people. Of course, far too many people fail to realize this and try to turn a pickup into a family vehicle.

Actually 6 should be the max with a front bench seat, 3 up in front 3 in the back.

Yukon xl is as big as it gets, unless you get a custom cab.... (like this, but with a bed instead of the back row...)

I saw an outfitter once that had 6 and 8 door F650/750's that also had beds in the back... it was posted on ATOT a few months back....

You could buy a suburban and an F350 with the cost of a truck that will do what you want

I've seen that the Ram Mega cab will fit 6 but thats with 3 in the front. With kids thats not a good option and I'm not that close to the MIL. And the 2 baby seats take up a he11 of a lot of room.

I've seen some with 6...Seat in front goes all the way across and the extra person straddles the stick shift...

My truck (F250 Crew Cab) seats 6. Put your two car seats and MIL in back, and the wife and oldest kid can ride up front with you. I don't think you will find a pickup that seats 7, especially when two of them are in car seats.

Eidt: Front seat is 40/20/40 split, FYI. I think it is also available as 60/40 split bench.
