Age and Reason for 2door and 4door buyers

[bbowisbald]

55 Years old. 2 door.
Owned a Gen1 so it's a little nostalgic.
Seemed like every 4 door I saw was driven by a women.

Parents had a Bronco when I was young. Broncos are supposed to be 2 doors.

65 year old, 2 door, 2 seater, rear seats removed. No back seat drivers.

62 and love my 2 door! (I hate passengers)

58, 2dr, no regerts.

There are a ton of 2dr owners on this thread. Where are all of you!? I never see a 2dr when I am out and about, only the more doors, and usually being operated by coffee drinking phone holding soccer moms who don't have a spare hand to wave hello.

Folks had Bronco II in the 80s and it was a royal PITA to get in and out of when you're 6+ft.

The purchase for me is totally utilitarian, my kids are all grown, age 52, and my hobby time is mountain top radio communications sites and anything with 2 doors is just non functional.

Would have loved to have a 2-door with manual trans. So don’t go ballistic on me for saying this.
If it weren’t for the 4-door Broncos, the current 2 doors would have never happened.
The Broncos went away because they only had 2 doors. Explorers and Expeditions replaced them. Just facts.
Ford has no real interest in nostalgia, unless it sells a butload of cars…. Not just a few.

I'm 51 and have been driving my 4 door for a year. Had I known how seldom I'd have passengers, I'd have gone for the 2 door cuz I do feel it's nicer looking. But all in all, I'm extremely pleased with my purchase!

36 w/ my wife, our 2 year old son and a dog. We wouldn't have even purchased a Bronco if they didn't offer a 2 door version, we dislike them that much.

It's our pleasure vehicle so it's not our daily driver. I imagine if we had to load everyone in it daily it could get a little old but honestly it's not that big of a deal and the truck looks GREAT! I'm a stickler about M/T over autos too so I guess I just prefer living a life of inconvenience

I miss 2dr trucks, 2dr SUVs, 2dr anything! At least a few sports cars kept the classic look. Not everything has to be 4 doors and I give Ford huge props for providing at least an option to stay true to it's roots.

39 here and I have a wife and a child. I need those 2 extra doors. My Bronco is my daily and I have to be able to transport my family and when we take trips the extra space is amazing.

Similar with Porsche. They sell millions of Macans and Cayennes to fund building the 911 ST and Dakar. And we hope Ford sells a bajillion 4 doors so we can get more special 2 door builds and unique trims that we love to drive and Ford loves to have in market to flood social media for brand building.

You are 100% correct. I owned a full size 80s Bronco when I was younger and it was a great truck for that time of life. Fast forward several lives and many vehicles and I'm driving the kids around in an Expedition EL. I still enjoy offroading so it's got lockers and rides on 35" tires.

Fast forward a bit more and I'm no longer towing big things and the kids are little older and don't warrant bringing all the baby stuff (pack n play, high chair, potty, etc.) with us on every road trip so I can get something smaller and more fun. I'm still driving the kids around, and we still go to the beach with our gear, surfboards, kayaks, fishing stuff, etc., so the 4 door is where it's at.

Compared the Expedition EL the MoarDoor Bronco feels downright tiny but it's teaching us to travel lighter. The 2-door would have been a non-starter for me even as a single man.

61. 2 door just looks better!

65. 4 Door WT. Had a 72 and couldn't wait to get another one. Wanted the extra space for the beach and passengers BUT the 2 doors are much better looking in my opinion.
