I had mice get into my 05 Tacoma after a wild fire in San Diego.
They were climbing the wheels to get to the engine compartment. They may be climbing your wheels to get in through the firewall or rear trunk.
I moved the truck into the garage (after cleaning it out) and did the following.
First, use the sticky traps (larger the better) and put peanut butter about the size your pinky tip in the middle of the trap. If you use smaller sticky traps, the bigger mice can sometimes move the traps around or get out (not without leaving a leg or some droppings).
Put the larger peanut butter sticky traps around the tires, about two per each tire, one underneath the car and out side.
What this will do is capture them coming out of the car and going in. Don't be surprised if you catch a bunch at first then dwindle off. Also, this might attract other mice from outside, so keep a nice stash of stick traps.
Snap traps work as well and can be reset, just watch your toes.
Also, add additional peanut butter sticky traps at the garage door openings, near the walls and near cracks from the outside. This way over time, you can see where they are coming in, and where they are entering the car based on where they are sticking the most.
They are a nuisance, but you can rid them like I did if you can create the traps as I did.
Good Luck!
