I’d prefer if they didn’t drive at all—they make great cargo bikes nowadays that can fit multiple passengers, and of course mass transit has no passenger limit. But if that’s not an option, they make vehicles that are designed for carrying large numbers of passengers. They’re not pickups though.
Still, I want to point out that it’s relatively few families these days that have more than 2 kids. If you absolutely need a car then one compact car or hatchback works great. No need for these behemoths—except for ego.
