I'm sure it is possible. Another user on here, Logisteric was working on a number of different sized vehicles with different inventory and crew slots, but I'm unable to find the thread any more. Perhaps some other member may know.

He was just throwing around ideas and later forwarding some of Jazz' work.
Now Jazz' work did end up in the trunk and apparently contains a tag for number of seats in vehicles.xml which cursory examination shows to be linked up - so just try this and report back, soldier.

This is only somewhat on topic, but I have some doubts that 6 people fit into an ice cream truck or a humvee. This amount of people is more something for a van or an SVU so huge, it gets its own zip code. To cram 8 people in there is a little much. But I understand, the squad size is now 8, so all of these guys need to line up like sardines and stew there for the couple hours it takes to drive to the next city...

It is indeed vehicles.XML, and IIRC you need to start a new game for it to take effect.

Would it be possible to dynamically alter the amount of people that can fit in a vehicle so that it can always fit one/two squads, whether it is 6, 8, or 10 people? I mean like ignoring the .xml for it and just taking the variable on cue from the new-game selection.

Mebbe we should have one of those 'clown cars' that carry about 12 fully made up freaky clowns in em ?

Seriously , in real life who can squeeze 8 into a sedan ?

On a more serious note, 6 is already pushing it for cars like the El Dorado - we're talking about soldiers in full combat gear, not gymnastics. Obligatory request: I want a Ural or a Deuce Smile
