Any person outside a vehicle is represented by a counter. Pedestrian counters block Line of Fire.

Passengers in open-top vehicles can be targeted individually (at -5 to hit) and so you need the counter to trace LOF to them.

I cannot find in the compendium (or elsewhere) if it explicitly states that all cargo space in pickup is in the bed and therefore exposed, but anyone riding in the bed would be and they therefore need to be represented by a counter. Specifying where they sit was more a matter of putting their counters on the pickup counter to start with, but as they kept falling off we decided to just write it down. and target off the relevant position on the pickup counter instead.

You may fit 11 people in the bed of a pickup, but only if you stack them like cordwood :) Even if you did decide that 11 people in the bed was credible, you would still have to specify their location to determine fire arcs.
