pickup truck capacity

i learned just now, that a regular size old pickup truck can hold 18 kids comfortably and happily. i wonder if mama and papa were wearing their seatbelts-SNORK!

I learned that back in the late 60's/early 70s up in Canada. You must have led a sheltered childhood.

Who cares if it's off topic,if you want to share some of your childhood memories with us you go right ahead.

And how many fit in a Vocho?

When I was a kid in Belfast, we were one of three families on a street of 40 who owned a car.
We were not the one out of the three that could afford petrol for the car.
It was nice to sit in it and dream

Jim,Lupe and I counted 27 passengers,mostly children,in a pickup with no tailgate a while back tooling down Lazaro Cardenas in Guadalajara,it looked like they were going to a fiesta.How freaking irresponsible is that?

Question: Why was Santa Anna limited to 3,000 troops at the Alamo?
Answer: They only had 2 pickups.

The most I have seen in a pickup was 35. This was in Mexico City a few years ago. I still wish I had gotten a picture.

The most police I have counted in the back of a pickup is 15. Fully armed.
Funny how in one country riding in the back is illegal and in another it is what police rely on to move around daily.

Thanks for the reminder of the mandatory accessory for pickups in the prairies years ago - a two -four that was always in the box right behind the driver.

The 35 I saw were in a quad cab. It was the Federal police. Fully armed. They were all laughing really hard, too. They were being transported from one area of the city to another.

I use to get 6 in my VW when we made Vallarta trips while in college (1970's)

It is illegal here. Just tolerated for the most part.
