LOL Thanks. All going well so far.
1st time buying a British car, but it was or is the only new 2dr v8 powered SUV on the market, thought I would give it go.
I am prepared should reliability be problematic, have several other vehicles in the stable.
My brother bought an LR130 a couple of years ago and it has been surprisingly reliable. Flawless, actually. It's a really nice vehicle. Good luck and hope you enjoy your LR90. It's a great looking ride.

When I first wanted a bronco I did not think I would be able to swing a 2-door due to kids. I test drove a 4 door big bend and it was just a non inspiring drive/ride. So I decided not to buy one. Fast forward a couple years and 2 of my children are out of the house. I went and test drove a 2 door badlands w/4cyl and absolutely loved it and still do. I get it some people have to have the 4 door, but they are missing out on the much more fun driving 2 door. I just had to say it. Not trying to insult the 4 door guys.

The best way I've found to describe driving a 2DR..............it is very nimble. 😁

I know some folks love to hate on the 4-doors, but the last time Ford was making Broncos, there weren't car seat laws, and I can't imagine trying to get a little kid in and out of a car seat in my 2-door.

And the 4-doors look pretty good as long as they have big tires and the roof is off. (I am convinced Ford knew this all along and is why they only showed the 4-door as topless in the Bronco release video.)

But definitely, I can't imagine a 4-door being this fun to drive, and I also can't imagine I would be grinning so much every time I see it in my driveway or in a store parking lot or my work parking lot if it were a 4-door. 😁

We had our TJ when my son was born. And IKYK how tight a TJ is. It was an adventure at times, but we survived.

If it were the same situation now a days with the Bronc, I would still buy a 2DR and learn to live with it, till they grow up. :wink: 2DR = Badass and purpose built. 😁


I do agree the more door Bronc looks way better with the top off. TBH I don't care for more door Wrangler either.

Still in a 2 dr however it is no longer a Bronco.
Just had to get back to a V8.
Since the only 2dr V8 SUV made is a Land Rover Defender 90 V8, that is what I bought.

Loved my time with my 2 dr Bronco, but all that road noise and lack of a V8 rumbling under the hood had me looking to move on.

Sold it last month.

Now if Ford were to ever put a Coyote 5.0L in a 2dr Bronco, I am pretty sure I would have to have one. LOL .
Maybe make a comparison post between the LRD90 and the bronco? I think I might upgrade in a year or three.

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend a 2 door to those that actually want to put humans in the back seat. As much as I said in the early days it’s not an issue as I raised my kids in nothing but 2 doors, the reality is these really are not rear seat passenger friendly. While my wife can scamper back there if needed, I can’t and I’m only 6’ 190#’s. But……I’m ok with that as the vehicle it replaced was a standard cab 1995 F-150 Lightning. I probably wouldn’t buy the 4 door if my main usage was a people hauler. My usage is a fun on and off road vehicle that can go topless when the time is appropriate!

Sounds like a good idea.

Also, looking for best secation to post such a review, I just now discovered we have section called Bronco vs the Competition. I will work on that and post it in there.

Bronco versus the competition | Bronco6G - 2021+ Ford Bronco & Bronco Raptor Forum, News, Blog & Owners Community

I could do one with the 2dr Bronco vs the 2dr LR.
I need to get a little more seat time in the LR to gather some more comparison data.

I can also do one comparing my Bronco with my Ranger Raptor.

Played around in Adobe Light Room and came up with what I think is a cool photo of my non-sas 2DR Badlands. Photo taken last weekend while off-roading in WA State..
