2-door storage area pic (seats up + tailgate closed) has me reconsidering

[Fat dog]

Small sacrifice for having a well proportioned bronco.

It's definitely not. In fact, it's 75% bigger (12.9 behind the seats in the Jeep, and 22.4 in the Bronco).

You're wrong. Obviously you're not a jeep person and that's fine. LJs (extended TJ) were built from 2004-06 and I have 23" behind my rear bench (confirmed with a tape measure just now).

And with the rear seat removed, I can fit 5 35" MT tires inside with the soft top up.

The 2 door LJ is the perfect combination of wheelbase and storage space--not to mention the bullet proof 4.0L, in-line 6. If Jeep still made them, I wouldn't be on this forum--I'd be driving a new LJ. Who knows, maybe the new competition will resurrect an LJ sized Wrangler.

it's even better with the Banks turbo and intercooler! I used to daily drive it until I got my f150. Now my LJ sits in the garage and only gets driven during summer.

oh, that looks like a nifty system! I don't want a roof rack, in only want extra room when needed. Love that it swings out to the side and you can modify it for different uses, you might have just sold me this thing :-D

Agreed, but i also notice the ad doesn't include any vehicle that has a rear mounted spare. Would that cause any issues since it would effectively move the weight that much farther away from the hitch?

Is this custom?? I've been looking for a high rise hitch rack and have only come across Warrior Products and ETrailers..

EDIT: Nvm, found it

Link?

Less space behind the seats than my Impreza wagon. PLUS they fold flat unlike the Bronco. Disappointing.

It’s pretty difficult to compare vehicles from different segments. The Bronco is not designed to be the ultimate family truckster. It’s designed to be a go anywhere fun 4X4.

I knew this was going to be a problem but its really starting to dawn on me how little space is back there. I know it "has more than wrangler" however its not even big enough for my cooler.

I think ford needs to take notice and next time they redesign this car they should 100% shoot for fold flat and FLUSH seating like the bronco sport. This way , if you get a 4 door or a 2 door your ability to store things is exponentially increased.

For reference, here are actual measured dimensions diagrams:

4-Door for comparison:

Plenty of room for at least 2 bodies, maybe 3 if they are short=No Problem!!

2-Door is the perfect size if you are pulling your Bronco with your RV.. I named my RV the BSV-“Bronco Support Vehicle”

Sticker or it didn’t happen.

When I read comments, especially now that ordering has begun, I realize that there are going to be a lot of 1 year old, low mileage Broncos available. I may have to pick up a second one from “the disillusioned”.

 

[Hemisfear]

these retarded snarky comments are annoying. Yes believe it or not people need storage in their vehicles and engineering solutions for this is not rocket science so kindly be quiet

And the repeated questions and whining is not? lol

Looks like the Defender is wearing ear muffs.

Beyond disappointed in the 2 door. I’ve seen it in person and I understand they were shooting for the masses and not the few in order to move product. This looks like the perfect ride for a 16 year old. Fire away.

Remove the back seat...

Problem solved, you're welcome.

 

[tyrobronco]

100% agreed the back seats should have folded flat. I'm really surprised engineers didn't check that off 'the list', just like vinyl seat-backs.

That being said, 4-doors is a non-starter for me and having had 3 vehicles (2 pick-ups and a Fusion Energi) with less space inside for the past 10 years, what I do get in my Bronco will be just fine.

 

[Gpscharron]

Your RV is only a two-door. Are you sure it's big enough?

Very funny indeed. However, it is a one door with more room then the 4-door..lol
