I loaded up a game with only Harmony, VE Framework, Vehicle Framework, and Vanilla Vehicles Expanded as my mods (and all DLC) and I ran in to this same bug so it's definitely some setting or bug with the mod itself.

So this is not a bug with Vanilla Vehicles Expanded but a bug with Vehicle Framework instead. The developer for Vehicle Framework is aware of it and will be working on a fix sometime soon. For now there is a workaround, all you have to do is dismount your pawns from the vehicle then they will be able to trade with the vehicle's cargo.

I'm having the exact same problem. I've already unsubscribed from all related mods and resubscribed, but the problem persists. I hope they fix it.

same here , i cant buy items in my smuggler cargo

How are you doing that ? I tried to leave the cehivle here but didn't work.
And i didn't found a way to dismount from the world map.

Is the workaround even possible when dealing with aerial vehicles like the smuggler?

Glad it's not just me, though I too can't find a way to split the caravan on the same tile. One thing I did notice, when you click "Trade", does it sound like the sound effect of the trade UI opening is playing twice to anyone else? Maybe there's a clue there

A way i found is when they get to the place have them all exit the veh, Then it lets you access the inventory of it for trading

@RahKiel - You need to go to the Pawns tab for the caravan and drag any pawn onto the word "Dismounted" which takes them out the vehicle then trading will work.

Doesn't do a thing. I can drag them into operator/passenger slot but not into the dismounted slot.

Made a Toad. Filled it up. Operator + Trader Passenger ( can't operate Toad because incapable of violence ). Jumped ON the tile of target settlement to trade with. Our trade list empty.

Dragged the pawns from the pawn tab of the caravan onto the "dismount" field -.. nothing.

EDIT:: It WORKED!!

I have 2 pawns in my Toad. I had to move the operator into the passenger slot. After that I was able to move my trader from the passenger slot into the dismounted slot. NOW I can trade.

Thanks !
Worked for me as long as i drop the pawn right on "dismounted".

The same problem, I couldn't find how to get around it yet, I tried to land pawns from a vehicle, but they immediately become immobilized and disappear from the list of my pawns, when I loaded to save and did the same, the pawns could already move, but when trading, there was nothing either, although they have items for sale in their inventory, but they are also not visible, even when they are without transport

Same issue here. I have to send one pawn with transport, and when they arrive at the trading settlement, I teleport a second pawn (sent on foot as a caravan) and merge them into a single caravan. All items (including those from the vehicle) then become available for trade. It's very inconvenient and feels like a workaround, but we're waiting for a fix. Sorry for mistakes, english isn't my language

When you're at destination, you need to open the pawn menu, check where is your trading pawn (pilot, passager, gunner, whatever), then drag on drop him on the "dismounted" line. You should be able to trade with the vehicle content then.

OMG, how did I not notice this myself? Now everything works perfectly and is super convenient. Thank you so much!
