Recommendations 

If you don’t need that much space or if you can pack everything in the truck bed or in a trailer, you may want to buy a double cab truck. If you have a lot of luggage to bring with you, you may want to get a crew cab just in case. This will also help if you want to consolidate your family members into one vehicle. There are advantages to both, but it all depends on your family’s situation.
