Anyone with a 2 door regret not going 4 doors?

Nope! I would rather have an actual Bronco (2 doors since 1966) than a Ford Flex derivative that is cosplaying as a Bronco:

Jesus Christ. Quit clogging up threads with your completely ripped off, terribly crafted substitution of the original mic drop, like you thought of it.

Two RED vehicles? You didn’t even try.

If it wasn't my daily driver and was only for weekend fun: I would have loved a 2-Door just for the "cool" factor - even though I'm in the school of thought that they look kind of stubby and awkward (to each their own). I'm on pavement 99% of the time, so daily practicality was at the forefront of my decision. With 2 kids in car seats, a wife, and a couple of dogs that all love the Bronco: the 2-door wasn't even an option. Hell, the 2-Door couldn't even permit just the kids and a stroller.

With the 2.7L, my 4-Door is quite peppy on pavement. Passing power is fantastic with the twin-turbos, and I don't find it difficult or cumbersome at all to maneuver in the parking lot or on the trails. As a hardtop owner, I also love that I have space to store roof panels and doors in the cargo area as well.

The 2-Door has 22.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind its rear seats and 52.3 cubic feet with the seats folded. Those measurements increase to 35.6 and 77.6 cubic feet with the 4-Door version. (so ~45-50% more space with the 4-Door).

My off-roading is fairly mild. The 4-door is a more than capable off-roader, I haven't even come close to its limitations (Sasquatch and all the BL bells and whistles help). Approach and Departure angles are the same for both versions. The 2-door has an edge on Breakover angle and ramp travel index. That said, the 4-door stats in those categories still make it a VERY capable off-roader.

I originally ordered a two door, but because of the order constraints, I ended up with a four door. Does the two door look better? Absolutely. However, I do not regret getting a four door, there is plenty of room in the back for camping/hunting gear, groceries, ect. I had a two door Jeep before getting my Bronco, so I feel like I know both sides of the argument.

the only thing for me is that it limits what I can buy at Home Depot.

or Costco... We fill our 4 door up when we go.

OP, I am happy with 4 doors but I think I would have been almost as happy with 2. I never liked crawling over the front seat to get in the back so I will not subject anyone else to that. Not that we have passengers in the back very often, but it is worth it to us. If I was single, lived in CO and had no cares, I would get the 2 door... maybe. Get what you really want. If you want a 2 door and it does not work for you, sell it and get a 4 door. There will be no shortage of people looking to buy it.

I like the looks of both (although the 4 door needs 35" tires to look "right" imo), but went 2-door for a few reasons. It's going to be my daily driver, but it's mostly just me or one other so the extra seats don't matter much.

Coming from small sports cars all my life I wanted to imitate that feeling. Cool and fun factor of the 2 door wins out over practicality of the 4 door for my needs.

It was 2-door or nothing for me. One of the big attractions of the bronco is the semi-throwback look to the old broncos which the 4-door completely loses in my opinion. Looks like a flex on steroids a bit.

I've only had my 2-door OB a few months, 99% driving to work/around the city.
The only times I even think about it is grocery shopping - It would be easy to just dump the bags in the back seat, but that's pretty challenging with the 2-door. I do use the 'trunk', but that's often taken up by my golf cart and bag, and the tailgate can be difficult in tight/busy parking lots..
The rest of the time, I'm SO happy that I have the 2-door. I think it looks better, and just 'feels' more fun than the 4 door. You definitely lose out on a bit of convenience, but (assuming your lifestyle is appropriate) I would absolutely get the 2-door!

I'd rather have a ford flex with the drivetrain of a bronco than a 4 door bronco....

The 4 door is too small to be a family vehicle so you might as well get a 2 door.

Nope. Love my 2 door!

I have been going back and forth on getting a 2 dr or 4dr Bronco. I was wondering if anyone here bought a 2dr and now wished they had gotten a 4 dr.
My situation…

no kids, 99.9% of the time it’s just me or one other person going camping, fishing to the store or whatever. My worry is the space for cargo that has me second guessing the number of doors. Not that I haul a ton of crap but will there be the “man I wish I had more space” thoughts causing regret.

The 4 door has so much more room in the back that I’d say if you’re not sure get the 4 door. Yes - the two doors are more nimble and are lighter which means they can cht through tighter obstacles. But offroading is dominated by the 4 doors these days. The longer wheelbase means they tend to be more stable climbing things.

For bigger guys like me the 2 door has a lot more shoulder room because the b pillar is further aft. In my 2 door the glass is beside my shoulder. In a more door the b pillar is against my shoulder. I’m 6’2 and more of a Peter Griffin or football type.

I have both a 2 door and 4 door ( 2 reservations day 1. 7/13/20 ) waited 517 days for the 4 door and 837 for the 2 door had the 2 door come first I would have canceled the 4 door. It's me, My girlfriend and my dog's not always in that order the 2 Door offers plenty of room. The 2 door is faster, handles better, and a little better on gas mileage. Also nicer when in heavy traffic. Both are exactly the same wildtrack 2.7 all toys just different colors. Hope that helps. But you can't go wrong with either one. I have decided to keep them both

Finally, this is coming from a guy with a base Bronco, instead of one with every electronic gizmo on the planet..... Love the guys with the BLs or WTs with $10k worth of fluff, saying theirs's are more like a "real Bronco", which were tin cans on wheels. On serious note, anything over the base trim and all 4-doors should've been renamed, call the 4-door the Warthog, and the one's with all the gizmos, the Colt Fluffs.

Sorry, we're too busy actually using them to formulate a real response to this BS

 

[CaptMorgan]

Real Broncos have but two doors.

 

[Deb68nc]

Nope! Love my two door wouldn’t get any other . I get so many compliments on the two door from strangers cause they don’t see hardly any around. Absolutely NO regrets
