its an escape based truck that'll be in the bronco family.The idea of a Bronco based truck sounds kinda funny. They are taking truck platform and turning it into an SUV and turning that back into a truck.

I do fully intend to turn my 2dr bronco into a truck though, tailgate mod the top to a remove-able cab, remove rear seat, etc.

There was talk of a Gladiator competitor based on the new Bronco mid size. Just don't really see the point of that. Hadn't heard about one on the Escape platform. Which I guess would be a Bronco Sport truck.

Isn't that sort of the Ranger? I know that a Bronco pickup would be different (removable top ... and other things I guess) but in the end the Gladiator and the Ranger are competitors, right?

To clear up some confusion.
“Ford T6 Platform”
1 Ford Ranger. Body on frame RWD midsized truck.
2 Ford Bronco. Body on frame RWD midsized SUV.
3 Ford Bronco Truck. Body on frame RWD midsized SUV. Similar to Ranger but more off-road worthy less work truck friendly.
(Other T6 vehicle’s include Ford Everest, and Troller T6)
“Ford C2 Platform”
1 Ford Escape. Unibody FWD compact crossover.
2 Ford Bronco Sport. Unibody FWD subcompact crossover. Similar to escape, but smaller and more rugged.
3 Ford Maverick. Unibody FWD compact truck. smaller than ranger similar to bronco Sport with a bed.
(Other C2 vehicle’s, include, Focus, Focus Active, Lincoln Corsair, and WILL include Mondeo/Fusion Active, Transit Connect)

Well said!
BTW I didn't know a Bronco Truck was in the pipeline! I thought only a 2 & 4 door.
I guess it makes sense if they are going after Jeep, might be a good idea to have a Gladiator alt. in the line of Broncos.
!! I hope all of the above will be available with Plug-In Hybrid!
Its already baked into the C2 Platform and currently available in the Escape as a trim/model level.

I can think of some interesting variants of the new Bronco, besides the already known 2 and 4 door versions:
Half-cab - just like the original early Bronco model, a 2 door with a top that only covers the front seats, rear window and wall right behind them, full doors and window, rear seat area empty and open as a short pickup bed, on the short wheelbase 2 door chassis. It would look cool, but limited usefulness.
Bronco pickup - still a 2 door, but with a full length pickup bed, based on the longer 4 door chassis.
Extended cab Bronco pickup - 2 regular front doors, 2 smaller "suicide" type rear doors, small interior cargo area/rear seat behind the front seats, short bed, based on the longer 4 door chassis.
Crew cab = just what it sounds like, 4 regular door, 4 seats, short(er) pickup bed, on the 4 door chassis.
Some of these won't happen because they would basically be the same as the Ranger models, but it's fun the daydream. Even if Ford doesn't offer them, the aftermarket could. With the removable top and doors the stock Bronco is supposed to come with, it'd be easy to reconfigure doors, tops, and cargo areas to whatever you want.
