A āpickup truckā has a bed. A pickup is one type of truck. Bronco is on a truck platform. SUVs on truck platforms are another subset of trucks. A Bronco Sport is not a truck. A 4Runner is a truck.So, this naming debacle...
Trucks have beds. Truck beds tend to be uncovered from the factory. If you have to put seats down to have a "bed" and take the cover off of it, I dunno if that's a truck.
I think the Bronco is an SUV and anyone calling it a truck just wants to be able to say, "I drive a truck" because "I drive an SUV" can be perceived as too many different things that they might not care for, such as a soccer-mom-mobile. (But if you're driving a 4-door, you're not that far off anyway. )
That said, what will I say?
"What do you drive?
"I drive a Bronco." (Beaming with pride)
Car & Driver puts Bronco in the truck category. A full-size van is a truck.

Maybe younger folk donāt get it. My early Bronco and my Gen 4 were called trucks.
