Age and Reason for 2door and 4door buyers

[mC.242]

After owning a 4dr Bronco for three months and putting nearly 3k miles on it, I can honestly say that owning a 2dr in that time would have been a frustrating experience with the space/seating/entry constraints. If I had caved into the pressure of getting a 2dr because it's "cool" I'd probably be looking to sell it now, take my financial gain, and get something else that suits my needs.
I'm around 50, married with two young adult kids living at home.

Ordered a 2 door. 56, married, kid grown and gone. Don’t need 4 doors and don’t really want to pay for them either

36 and 2 door mainly because it looks so badass. I am a bit worried about cargo space, but rear seat delete will fix the issue. I don't plan on towing any passengers.

55+4DR, practical and looks awesome... also like the versatility of the 4 DR

29, 4DR; I have an american akita and an electric bike I plan on throwing in the cargo unless I get a rack down the road.

It would be nice if someone would gather this info and put together some statistics about who's getting what. I'm thinking some kind of Bell Curve maybe.

Initially was going to do a 2 door just for the ease of ordering. This being said, I changed to a 4-door Badlands 7 speed. I am 28 and am a homeowner so i wanted something with more space for projects, etc. My parents always have a truck available incase i need it, so will be trading in the 19 F150 on it.

Also plan to have a family at some point and multiple dogs, which a 4 door would be very helpful for. Main reason for me is that alone, plus i think with the longer wheelbase it may ride slightly better over harsh pavement, and being a novice off-roader, I dont necessarily think i need the most capable. My father ordered a 2 door sasquatch manual as its just him, stepmom and the dogs.

Kennedy was President when I was born. Had my fill of go fast 2dr cars most of my life, including my current Mustang. Now have a blended family with 3 kids still at home. We ordered 4 dr. BD because I want to get my kids off their asses and phones to enjoy being outdoors. I do agree the 2 drs look better to me, but just to hard getting a family in and out of.

The 2 door is a lady's model.

52 in a few days. Ordered a 2 dr originally, but changed to a 4 dr in hopes of getting a Bronco sooner. ( It worked and I will hopefully get into my Bronco before Christmas.) I have driven both off-road and didn't really notice anything to be concerned about with the 4 dr. I love the size and look of the 2 dr, but I needed a new vehicle asap and decided the compromise was worth it. Plus, I really wanted the soft top after seeing the unfinished look of the MIC tops on the inside. I really wish they had put white or gray gel-kote on the inside of the tops.

29, 2Dr. I prefer the looks and shorter wheelbase. Plus, I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve had passengers in the back of my vehicles.

42 with a 4 door to haul my brothers kids around...

36, 4 door. multiple reasons. kids, have space for groceries, camping stuff, ski stuff, anything without worries. need to go get some lumber, sure, i can get it without having it stick feet out the window.

I am 27, got the 4 Door for the overland/everyday utility. I love the look of both. I actually hate the look of the JL/JK two door, looks like a powerwheels but the Bronco nailed it, at least in stock form.

I eventually plan to have a functional long travel lift with at least 37's on it. That will look perfect on the 4Door, where the 2 Door starts looking like an RC car lol.

Also the idea that 2 Doors are better at everything off-road is false, they are clearly better at many important things, namely breakover and turning radius. But a long wheel base will get you up a steeper grade and have better high speed stability. As for articulation it goes both ways, shorter wheelbase achieves a higher "score" for the same ramp travel, but the longer wheel base makes it further up the ramp. The practical utility of either is going to be situation dependent assuming the wheel travel is the same.

47, wife, no kids, 2 dogs and have A4, Camry and STi which are all 4 doors and humans hardly ever use the back seats in any of them. Going with 2 door Basemansquatch!

51 and 2 dr. Been driving a F150 for 11 years and just want something smaller. Married, two teenage sons and two dogs. If we all need to go somewhere we will have the F150 or the Honda Pilot. The Bronco will be my daily, fun vehicle that will hopefully carry me to retirement in 9 years.

me too!
5.5 years!!
