Subject: What am I missing regarding ramming vehicles?

So looking at the ramming rules last night and the text is pretty much like previous editions in that if a vehicle explodes, the ramming continues.
But:
In 7th edition it requires a 7 to explode and I know of no other way to get that with a ram except if the target vehicle is open-topped. Are there an AP 2 or AP 1 ramming enhancers?
Also, hypothetically, a Trukk could Explode a Stompa if:
The Trukk w/ reinforced ram was ramming the rear armor of a Stompa on its last HP and rolls a 6 for armor penetration to glance, thus reducing the Stompa to zero HP. In which case the Stompa would immeadiately explode, most likely penning the Trukk, possibly causing it to explode, unless it rolls another 6 for the Ramshackle Rule, before the Trukk would continue on its ram?
Am I missing anything here or is this possible?

No chance of exploding, just only ram on 1hp if you want to keep going, or as you say, hit open topped.

Are vehicles removed in 7th on last bull point? I thought they were wrecked and just shoot there unusable

They're wrecked and are battlefield debris, from memory. As such you could carry on through.

Wrecked vehicles just turn into terrain and have done so for several editions

Ah! Moving through wrecks would be fine with me.
The last paragraph on Ramming (page 93) states:
"If the vehicle that is Rammed is not removed, the rammed halts. However, if the Rammed vehicle is removed because it suffers an Explodes! damage result . . ."
It just seems odd that the only way to Explode a vehicle during a ram is a 1/6 chance against only open-topped. Like I said, unless I'm missing something.

It used to be easier to explode vehicles, and the 7th edition ramming rules are just hack & pasted from 6th.

Thank you!! That is exactly what I was wondering but felt was missing some huge game mechanic.
