1996 Eddie Bauer vs 2021 Bronco Black Diamond 2-Door (with measurements)

[Used2jeep]

Looks like the front and rear seats are different (Cloth vs. MGV?).

That almost looks like a BB seat material for the back doesn't it?

Yes, by about 4 inches. My buddy rode in the back, he's just over 6 foot 2, sitting behind me, and I'm 6 foot 2, and he had plenty of room for his knees.

So if I am reading this right, you got to drive it? If so, how was the manual and power?

What were your impressions of the Marine Grade Vinyl? It looked cold out there. When you got in how did you think it felt (if you allowed the interior to get cold?

Love the way the 2 DR looks. I just can’t deal with 19”-20” of cargo depth.

I did not get to drive it, I rode in the passenger seat. We drove out to a different park, about 40 minutes one way. Manual was fine, he was in sport mode. He said it still had decent power even in 6th on the freeway.

Finally a side shot of 2 door BD with aluminum wheels. Looking good, same goes for that interior

I didn't get into the back. The front was for sure MGV and felt fantastic. I don't know if the back seats were cloth or also MGV.

@TheFuzzyBunny I can't read the overall truck length. Any ideas what they were?

144 roughly for the Black Diamond. 164 roughly for the 96

The MGV felt fantastic. Super comfortable.

Thank you. Noticed that the his were roughly 6" difference. How much more space was there for the driver door to open before "hitting the car next to you"? I'm guessing that is why they were parked fairly close to the passenger lines.

How we were parked we never even noticed the door getting close to the other Bronco. I doubt it will be an issue in normal parking situations.

Thanks. I figured that was a parking lot simulation.

Yes. BB rear cloth seat.

This is awesome. What is the backseat footwell like in the 2D? How deep/approx length and width? I’ll be deleting my rear seats and either building or buying a plate system and I’m curious to see if we’ll be able to build in a storage hatch on the plate where the rear footwell is like on 4D Wranglers.

I think so too.

Great pictures, thanks for posting. Is today December 25th?
