Bronco Longboard Concept – 2DR LWB Imagined

[HarderCorer]

I want to like it but I'm a form follows function guy and I don't see the benefit of removing two doors when all else is the same.

I agree with the extra 3-4” between B pillar and wheel crowd. The same length as 4 door concept is weird: just get a 4 door already. You’ll be happier in the long run - especially with rear windows you can open.

Interestingly, the LJ is 3” shorter overall than the two door Bronco even though it has 3” more inches of wheelbase. It did have more cargo volume behind the first row (12 cu feet), but that could partially be the ability to remove the rear seat, and behind the back seat (6 cu ft).

Since all vehicles get bigger over time, I think we’ll see that 3-4” when they mid-cycle refresh, or 7G.

Longboard. What a cool name!

I just don't get the appeal of a larger 2 door SUV

Every 2 door SUV (when a 4-door was also available has failed (sales-wise).

Carribean blue on a 4 door with white roof, plz.

So the worst thing about the 4 door is the long wheelbase and resulting breakover angle...not a dealbreaker, but a limitation...and you want to take on that disadvantage...AND give up the advantages of 2 more doors. The worst possible configuration....awful.

The worst thing about the 4-door is the girly look. Maintaining the 2-door look while sacrificing a little breakover angle for additional storage and fuel capacity, as well as more high-speed stability, is a tradeoff worth consideration. Particularly for those who are more interested in desert running. IMO this concept would be the ideal configuration for the Warthog.

Been meaning to post this one for a long time. Here is my mock up of the fabled 2DR LWB Bronco.

Specs:

• Uses 4DR wheelbase
• Uses 2DR doors
• Uses rear seats from the 4DR
• Has variation of rear cupholders from the 2DR
• Standard slide-out cargo tailgate for level loading

Rustic Orange	Service Green
Cactus Gray	Pacific Blue

Cyber Yellow Orange	Sandstorm Green
Race Red	Caribbean Blue

Nice work! I have been thinking about (Hoping for...) a 3 row, 4 door Bronco. The Defender 4 door 110 has a 3rd row option now, and there will be soon an extended body version: Same 110 wheelbase, longer rear overhang. A 3 row Bronco would probably need a/c vents back there...

And a V8 motor while you're at it!

Put 37s on this, flare out the wheel wells and give it 400 ponies and I would buy it in a heartbeat.
