Unless you got one of those fancy battery storage devices that Ford is going to be making, so you can bank that power  

IMO the biggest issue is just making a bed for it. The passenger cell would be more or less the same.    The Gladiator is more or less identical to the Wrangler from the C pillar forward.    Its a cool thought exercise, but I don't think it has much merit to make it happen.   If anything it might be just a better idea to move Ranger production to the TTP with another product and make a modified Everest SUV as a higher end Lincoln along with the Bronco at MAP

They buy Kei pickups because they are used and super cheap at like $5K a pop Till they start getting into accidents and turn into a beer can when they get smacked into by a minivan with a woman putting her makeup on.    Then it will the corvair all over again. 

Assuming gas-we are paying like $2.63 for regular where I'm at, but we have bunch of taxes making it higher.    Diesel is still around $3.50 a gallon around here. 

Exactly-esp if the Bronco Sport is going to get a world wide major refresh in the next 24 months or so. 

Well at least in North America: C2 already has Hybrid engine options   Anything RWD would get the 10 speed with the hybrid motors built into the transmission   So outside of figuring out where to put the batteries for products that don't have them (which is just basically the T6 based Bronco), everything else is done already or would need minor reworking, assuming the Expedition and Navigator can use the same hardpoints as the F-150 Hybrid.   Or they could just go the EREV route with the new Lightning for the fullsize SUVs. 

Ehh, we'll wait a week or two...plans should change by then. 

Toyota's like on their 7th generation of hybrid technology. They've invested enough in hybrid technology to make their entire lineup. Hybrids. I don't see Ford investing the capital required to make hybrid drive systems universal throughout their lineup.    That goes beyond how long you've been selling them and directly to where you are spending money to build and sell more hybrid vehicles. I don't see it. If you do, please let me know

Well you could always move away from that shithole you know?   You also gloss over the fact that there are more players in the market that means more choices, so less market share. 

But yet your still here....
