Not unless it's destroyed and is difficult terrain. Can't assault across another unit/model right? One must assault taking the most direct route correct? Basically in that scenario one would be assaulting over a non destroyed enemy vehicle/model which is not allowed.

It's definitely a prickly item here. About the best I could say until an FAQ comes out is that in my group we'll just measure from the actual standing hull and say that the doors, when lain out, don't really count for anything.
We'll be doing this because if the scatter dice were right, someone could make a fairly impressive wall that could wreck the atmosphere of a friendly game. I measured the pod I just assembled and at the widest point , with the doors open, it comes out to roughly 9.25". We'd soon have people coming in whose Ork armies had battle wagons sporting 10"+ assault ramps.
Having said this, i'tll be interesting to see what rules are applied to them in GT settings
