Age and Reason for 2door and 4door buyers

[sonofhammer]

Mid 30's, married, no kids. 2 door because it's cheaper and I get a free hardtop.

Too lazy to see if I replied here, but 34, 2dr and no kids, girl or dog.

Even if I had all 3, still would rock a real Bronco

So I’m kind of curious, I’ve been reading this forum for, I don’t know, two or three months, and I’m really surprised there isn’t more 2-Door purchasers.
so I’m just wondering what AGE is of most people buying a
2 door and a 4 -door,
because I think it’s a generational thing now.

When I was a kid you were your father or grandfather if you were driving a four-door. same with my dad! Of course I grew up in a HotRod Family (30’-50’s Cars)
So I was always told that 2 doors is what you want.

Maybe I was brainwashed, or a product of my time, but I always thought the 2 Doors look way better than 4 doors
(as far as proportions and everything)
and all those extra posts and windows!
Especially the vehicle like a Bronco because of the short wheelbase. You have to jack up a four-door way higher in order to have the same clearance.

biggest thing for me is I have the mindset of

2-door Means Freedom
4-Door means Baggage

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that young folks nowadays wanna include their family on a lot of stuff, but I still think Guys need to have their OWN freedom sometimes, and “Girls”Too I guess!!!

So mostly this is just out of curiosity

I’m 52 and I love2doors
What did tou order and how old are you?
Thanks Rick

I'm 54, was 52 when I ordered. Got a two-door. I just love the look and proportions so much better. My only child at home doesn't go much of anywhere with me anymore. She's "that age" and getting ready to go to college. I really don't have a need for 4 seats anyway, and the 2-door just looks so much better. I am coming from a Wrangler and thankful for the little bit of extra trunk space, which is nice. It's small, but close to twice the size of what I'm used to. I did grow up with beat up and used sports cars, so I always liked sporty above practical. What I do miss is having a button to press for the top to go up and down. I just fought cancer, results look positive, but not definitive, so far, and my energy level is extremely low, to say the least. Driving somewhere takes a lot of effort, so needless to say the hard top has not yet come off, even though I've had it a month in mostly great weather.

2 door means tent hassles when out in the backcountry and if it rains or snows you will hate life. I distrust any vehicle but in Detroit but bought a 4d Bronco only because it is the sole 4x4 where a 6 ff+ guy can sleep in the back without hassles such as sleeping platforms, seat deletes, etc.

Mid-40's and roll only the original, the one and only, truly-honest-beats-all two door. If it don't fit, it's don't sit! Bwahaha!

4 Door - SPACE.

43, 4-door

3 kids from age 9-14. Done with car seats but sometimes have to drop off a kid at school, etc. 2 doors is no fun for that. Also, like being able to fit the whole family in a pinch. There are only 2 seats in the back seat of the 4 door.

I do love the look and proportions of the 2 door and when my kids are a little older I would love a 2 door vehicle in this style - but I do love the flexibility and space of the 4 door And it still looks pretty damn good.

53 Adult kids. 2 Door. My wife drives the people mover. I wanted maneuverable and compact.

57 and not married, no kids. I've been driving reg cab short bed pickups forever and the 2 door Bronco just looks right. I do miss having a pickup bed to haul stuff around but the Bronco works great for me. I might just take the back seats out at some point since I don't really need them.

4 Door - SPACE.

46 and a 2 door for me. I like the looks and I’m old school I guess. My wife is 43 and she has a 4 door. So technically I don’t have to sacrifice anything. Both versions, both with hard tops. No kids and even as realtors, we don’t need people riding with us. Wife’s becomes the people mover and travel wagon, mine is for fun and a mid life crisis.

71, 2 door because Broncos should only have 2 doors

I'm 65, retired, and the kids are grown up and out of the house. The missus and I are ready to enjoy life and both wanted a Bronco. The 2 door is perfect because it's just the two of us.

I'm mid 40s with a wife and 2 kids, so naturally I have a 2 door. The key is to set the bar low, here's a pic of my other vehicle, compared to that the family loves being in the Bronco.

Ah you got an LJ! I’ve got a TJ with the same almond peal color. I re did my interior just to accommodate the kiddos. The 11” additional room would be great. But the bronco will be a pavement princess so I went 4dr

Late 30s, three kids. 2 door all the way, it just looks and feels right. Four door looks like a bus to me, and we have a nice 7 seat minivan for bus duty.
