Age and Reason for 2door and 4door buyers

[KompressorV12]

Early 30s. Not married/no kids. Went 4 door, never even considered 2 door.

My SUV is my daily and I need the ability to carry stuff. Not just a large cooler, camping gear, my 115lb dog, my girlfriend. But when I need to pickup a large box somewhere or a quick run to home depot this is my vehicle to do it. I snowboard every weekend in the winter. Not being able to fit my snowboards inside is a massive problem. In Oregon you will have rain down low and snow up top. The bindings could be iced over once you get to the top of the mountain if I mounted on roof. If I had another hauler for that I'd likely have considered a 2 door as the shorter wheelbase is ideal for wheeling and I would have made the 2 door my around town fun vehicle and wheeler. Unfortunately I'm not at the point in my life where I can have two of the same types of vehicles (truck or SUV serve essentially the same purpose). I'd rather have an SUV to haul/daily/wheel and a 6MT BMW M4 for fun. Never have I thought "man I wish my Bronco had just a bit more storage capacity" I can bring anything and everything I want to maximize my adventures. But judging from the aftermarket (the biggest draw to Bronco to begin with) it looks like I made the best choice with 4dr. (P.S. I think 2 door owners are the only ones that are super excited that they have a 2 door. Am I wrong? During this whole 2 year ordering process the entire time I was thinking thank god I didn't want a 2 door. Still took 2 years though. )

But a picture is worth 1000 words

Was 35 and wife 31 when we reserved, one kid who was 5 at the time. We went 2 door after driving a 4runner as that's what we wanted. Kiddo was out of a carseat and can get herself in and out no problem just like she does with my 1st gen 4runner. So we now have two, two door, manual transmission suvs, plus a Land Cruiser that while is 4 door, is only a 3 seater. We are pretty adept at packing light for long trips, leveraging backpacking gear and all available space without issue. Can't wait to take it out west for 12 days this spring.

Because it looks like a bronco. If I wanted a vehicle that didn't look like a bronco and had more room, I'd have bought a truck.

47.

I was originally a 2dr, then after evaluating our situation back in 2020/2021, we switched to a 4dr. 2 kids at the time (5 and 2) and lugging around all their necessities drove that decision, plus we owned a 4dr Kia Optima at the time and really needed the extra space of the 4dr Bronco, since I was used to a 4dr F150.

Fast forward to last November (kids are 7 and 4), we traded in the Optima for a 2019 Explorer with 3 rows of seats and 2nd row captains chairs, so my better half gave me the go ahead to order a 2dr. Secret between me and all the forum members here, is I already made that decision, but her telling me she thought it would be ok on her own, was a big plus. We don't need this vehicle to be a grocery/kid hauler, so it's our date night vehicle.

So, I'll be getting an Eruption Green BD 2dr in the next 2-3 months ().

31 - 1 kid/golden 4 door. Looks like a Bronco still guys - sorry it's not more "sportsy" but its def more fun than any other vehicle I've owned so far.

I think the 2 door is a great option without babies. Also my dog enjoys his space - always have in other SUVs so he enjoys the big back trunk space that the 4 door provides.

36 yo, not planning on having children. Its just the fiancé and I so a 2 door works for us. She has a '23 Kia Sportage so we can take that out if we need more room. Also I like the look of the 2 door more that the 4 door.

28 - 2 door. Coming from two M3's back to back (and a brief Wrangler stint before my brother took it), I wanted something fun and sporty I can look back on with pride when I'm done crawling the local malls.

Put the 2.7l in a base too, so it's the lightest weight bronco with the biggest non-raptor engine.

36 married, no kids. But plan on adding 1-2 in the near future. 2 large dogs as well. Based on dogs and future kids the 2 door was never an option. It had to be family friendly for it to work for us. Even though we use the wife's Palisade as our primary family car, we still want the option to load the family up in the bronco for a day trip or camping trip.

74 and have only had 9 vehicles that were 4 door of the 48 vehicles that I have owned since getting my license in 1965. I am a 2dr kind of guy.

52, husband has a 4 door truck. Kids are grown. I am having a midlife crisis. Everybody else can drive themselves.

2 doors all day.

Almost 50 I have both a 2dr LB FE and a 23 BLK Raptor.

43 with 2 kids 9 and 10 and now a puppy. I love the 2 door, just wish the trunk was an extra foot. And occasionally i have a 5th person and that sucks. Have a cargo box for ski trips which is still tight. Made it to beach trip with no problem, may add a basket above the spare tire.

62 wife 59.... ordered 2 door because we spend half our time in the city and tired of fighting for city parking for full sized trucks.

Great question. I am 77 and have owned 13 broncos…at least one of all gens. We waited 2 years, 2 weeks, and 2 days for our 2022 OBX 2 door. purchased a BD 4 door in February. I wanted the 2 door because they were all two doors. But, here is the next news. My next Bronco will be a 24 OBX 4 door with my two door as my trade.

My kids are grown and I'm getting my first 2 door vehicle since the 80's. I'm 59 years old.

I don't think your general age/lifestyle assumptions always apply. I'm single without kids and had originally ordered a two-door and was dead set against a 4-door, claiming to all who would listen that the only real Bronco is a 2-door and that'd I'd rather not get one than buy the frumpy, less attractive 4-door. However, since I had hated driving my 21' Wrangler beyond belief I felt I needed to drive the Bronco for an extended period to be sure I would be okay with it. So I rented a 4-door Wildtrak from Turo and fell in love with the Bronco and the 4-door. For those of you who haven't gotten yours yet, while the 2-ddor is still sexier, the 4-door is seriously badass and more importantly has just enough room to be practical in any discernable way for stuff, dog(s), and to carry the occasional rear seat passenger. I was shocked how small the rear seat was in the 4-door. TBT I'm moving from a Camaro SS as my daily so having a bit more space was one of the reasons I wanted a truck like this.
