Driving the 2 door sold me. I drove 2 / 4 door models. Oh yes they were sweet, smooth roomy, more storage. But me and the wife both have 4 door vehicles, Lincoln, R Rover. And the other thing for me (the old guy) was when Bronco came out. I had friends with the 2 door, memory lane. Like folks say, do what is right for you. My mind is made up now. 2 door. Best of luck in your choice.

I originally said 2-door. But, the wife brought up a good point. This will be my daily driver and off-road toy. I'll have this thing long enough for us to have kids. 2-door and folding seats are not ideal for getting kids and their seats in and out of the back row. Those extra 2 doors are going to a welcomed addition.

I have a kid. My wife said life is too short to compromise what you love for utility, especially when she already has an suv she loves that does most the kid moving anyway. Sure the rear facing baby seat in the back of the Bronco will be a pain but it will fit, and when he's old enough to flip forward it'll get even easier to put him in there.
Hell, by the time I get my bronco (aug21 res) he'll probably have his learners permit so baby seats won't be a concern.

Also a good point. I've had a 4-door sedan for the past 5 years now and I think i've had people in the back seats about 5 times. Didn't make the 4-door worth it off the bat for me. We'll be getting the wife a new Kia Soul before my Bronco (as soon as the model/color combo she wants is back in stock). Her car will certainly be able to transport us most of the time, however her car won't always be available when I need to drive the family. Like everyone else, I have time to think it all over.
Get what you like. Most people posted a lot of the good rationale . I just saw a 4 door obx antimatter blue soft soft in the wild and thought it looked really good. Better in person than pictures. I was a 2 door guy but they did a decent job on the 4 door. In fact they should discontinue black and keep amb.

For 90% of bronco buyers, the 2 vs 4 door dilemma is looks vs practicality. If you have kids who will be going in and out of the back seat on a daily basis, 4 door seems like the clear choice. If it will just be you and a passenger most of the time, it would be hard to pass up the coolness of the 2 door.
If you’re one of that incredibly rare breed that actually thinks the 4 door looks as good or better than the 2 door, then the decision should be easy.

I wanted a 2 door so bad, but the wife drives a Mustang, and my truck is a 2 door SuperCab that I ordered with the rear seat delete. When I memtioned a 2 door Bronco to the bride she said, "well, you know when we drive friends we always have to take the Jeep (4 door JL). I don't think it helped when I said, "I have enough friends, if I lose a few I would make much difference."
BTW, I'm ordering a 4 door.Sponsored
Thanks. Im heading in today to change my order to 2 door.I wanted a 2 door so bad, but the wife drives a Mustang, and my truck is a 2 door SuperCab that I ordered with the rear seat delete. When I memtioned a 2 door Bronco to the bride she said, "well, you know when we drive friends we always have to take the Jeep (4 door JL). I don't think it helped when I said, "I have enough friends, if I lose a few I would make much difference."
I figured, I rarely if ever have anyone use my back seats in Subaru. Barely use the small trunk only when camping or skiing. So I am going to order 2 door. If I need more space for stuff, I will get rack and remove rear seats.
The Bronco Bus has more doors. The Baby Bronco,.....well, its a baby. Not a real Bronco.

YUP. This is absolutely what's pushing me to a four-door. We'll have kids and they'll grow up in the back of this vehicle. And a dog. And I saw a guy do a demo of storage in the back of his two-door and once he put the big pack of paper towels back there, wasn't much room for anything else.
All reaI prefer the 2 door personally, and it will likely only be just a toy for me. However there are personal reasons for the 4 door:
Likely better resale value
Power Seats(I have significant back issues/spinal stenosis and the reason I got rid of my Wranglers was that they killed my back, excited for the IFS for this reason)
Ride quality in longer wheelbases is better as well as you feel the bumps less.
Storage for traveling, family, pets etc
Wife, for some reason, prefers the 4 door
Same here brother!! Right along with you!I ordered a 2D. I get the utility of the 4D, but I don't need that much room and don't care to wheel with back seat passengers. My kids are grown, my friends have their own rigs, and I damn sure don't want to sleep in it. To top it off, I also have a '73 Bronco and I'm in the "real Broncos have two doors" side of the debate.
Right on! Also, don't worry about the fuel mileage. If you are drinking enough,.. its tough to outlast that kind of distance. Get out stretch and stand back to admire that two door piece of art!!
