The Stretch Truck Company

A stretch truck is a unique rig for both their style and practicality in construction related industries.

The Stretch Truck Company does what its name implies - its "stretches" trucks. While the trucks turn heads like a limousine, they remain fully functioning trucks for work or play. Words like "incredible", "rad", "hip", "stylin'", "awesome" have all been used to describe the stretch truck in parking lots around the nation.

As one of the company's customers / fathers said, "if we would have gone with a van we'd have given up all hope of ever being cool again!"

Customers are the very same people that buy regular pickups and SUVs. However, they have a reason they want a stretched truck - large families, too many employees, people that want something unique to pull their boats, horse trailers, or RVs, or they just want a truck because they're COOL!

Stretch Truck Company takes 4-door crew cab trucks and add a 5th & 6th door. Suddenly, a truck has a 9-passenger capacity. The same thing can also be done with SUVs like Ford Excursions. By adding a 5th & 6th door the passenger count is increased to eleven.

There is no such thing as the "Stretch Truck Company". These trucks were all built in Oklahoma by Tim Huskey:
