Horizons SRV with capacious cargo compartment

I always get a bit of a laugh when you find an SRV crash site with half-a-dozen or more canisters lying about.

Have to ask yourself, "How did they all fit in there"?

But you must keep in mind that you don't PvP in an SRV very often and if you did, re-balancing the SRV shields would certainly take priority over increased cargo capacity.

Not enough time...

you've noticed you can plainly see the dangers of overloading your SRV... FDev should consider making a PSA about this to prevent needless deaths and rebuys... [yesnod]

I'm hoping that will be a feature of the new SRV which quietly appeared in the game files with 2.2. Guessing we'll get it with 2.4.

the new SRV will look like this

Maybe a future engineer will add cargo space at the expense of reducing the fuel tank capacity. But the modification would also be like increasing the capacity of a ship E1 cargo rack (2) to a higher class module which opens up a whole new can of worms!

IRL the tracks go up and down so it can aim?

Yep, it's an absolutely astonishing machine. One of the most interesting and innovative tanks ever built.
It has a hydro-pneumatic suspension which can elevate and depress the whole tank in range of 20 degrees (better than most even modern turreted tanks). It can dig itself into the ground. It can frikkin' swim! It has a gas turbine engine and unique transmission that allows it to have the same speed forward and backwards (over 60km/h in terrain). Auto-loading gun, virtually no silhouette when fighting dug-up or over a ridge, and unmatched armour sloping.

Swedes developed and started using it in the sixties. It's called Strv. 103 or Stridsvagn S (The "S" tank)
If you are remotely interested in these things, I can only recommend googling up some documentaries.

Huge gun pointing down. Those must be some pretty nasty outcroppings you've come across in the past :)
