2 Door Vs 4 Door

[Jkial5000]

I am looking to buy a Brono next May and can't decide between 2 door or 4 door. I want to get a 2 door. I have 2 kids which one has his own car and my current car can go to my daughter next year when she gets a license. Since I won't be carting kids around as much I figure a 2 door is the way to go. I also think the 2 door is sporty and more fun to drive. My wife ( who drives and F-150) thinks a 4 door is the way to go since it has way more cargo and it's easier for passengers to get in to. I ask you all what your opinions are and what your experiences with owning 2 vs 4 door.

If you expect to carry a lot of passengers and cargo, get the 4 door. If it'll mainly be you, your wife, in a couple things, get the 2 door.

Aside from practicality, I have heard that the 4 door rides a little better because of the longer wheel base and it's marginally quieter, but I've never been able to directly compare.

Can open, worms everywhere.
Good luck to you

What? How do you know? Has this question been posed before?

Surely, everyone here was totally civil and agreed on only one choice, unanimously.

Wheel base difference is only 16" personally I think the 4 door maneuvers nice for a 4 door, but I have been used to 4 door pick ups.
Its handy to have a door to get access to the back seat even if just groceries.

I have a 2 door. My youngest two are 13 and 10. They fit just fine when they ride with me. My wife has the 3 row family hauler.
The 2 door is so much more enjoyable to drive. It’s quick and nimble. Easy to park. Weighs less.
The 4 door Bronco wagon is great for those who haul around kids and need more storage room. I didn’t think a 2 door would work for me and family. But it does just fine. Looks better too.

A friend of mine from our local club pointed that out to me some 20 years ago looking at my 4-door XJ and he had his 69 Bronco & an 4-door XJ

I had a blazer in the 80's, the things you notice and appreciate when you grow older.

Only buy a two door Bronco. If you need more practicality, get something else.

Lots of guys on here struggle to drive a mid-size SUV, your wife will be fine.

I can’t even imagine someone getting into the back seat of a 2 door with Sasquatch without having to buy steps…

and even then.

Two door was never an option. Not enough cargo space.

Nearing 80 and have only had 2 doors (did settle for a 2005 f150 “standard cab” that had two little extra doors, I guess to get behind the seat for some reason)…if ya need more get a mini van, I hear dodge has a nice one…more worms…

I had a K5 Blazer back in the 90s. 33s with a three inch lift. I enjoyed taking the cap off in the summer.

Having now owned 5 6g broncos… 2 4 door and 3 2 door, I can say the following
1. 2 door is definitely more fun to drive. Shorter turning radius and just feels sportier on the road
2. 2 door looks much more “correct”
3. If you only occasionally anticipate rear passengers, 2 door will do the trick. When you do have rear passengers, they will have a time getting back there but once in the seat there is plenty of leg room
4. If you off-road alot, both have their pluses and minuses but I prefer the agility of the 2 door. Having come from a 2 door Wrangler, I can say the 2 door Bronco feels a lot more planted in many situations vs the Wrangler
5. If you camp/Overland a lot, the 4 door is the clear winner for obvious reasons, but I can get all my gear in a 2 door just fine.
6. There will be times where your 2 door just doesn’t have the room to carry something that the 4 door wouldn’t have a problem with, but that’s what your “other” vehicle is for.
7. At the end of the day I just kept coming back to the 2 door. I currently have one of each, but the 4 door will eventually be sold. Below are my current rigs.
8. If you like to modify your rig, the 4 door has a lot more aftermarket support for the areas that differ, but it only makes sense based on the sales mix.
