Two-Door v. Four-Door numbers

[dpAtlanta]

I was curious as to the 2-door v. 4-door production.
This is not a scientific study, but it gives me an idea as to the demand for 2D v 4D.
I got on AutoTrader.com and searched for new 2024 Bronco Badlands from a radius of Atlanta... many dealers populate the site with new vehicles.
This is what I found:

2-Door
100 mi. radius - 10
Nationwide - 894

4-Door
100 mi. radius - 128
Nationwide - 4621

I have not yet searched through the other models yet.

Us two door folks are kinda RARE...!!!!

Back in 2023 it was about a ~18% / 82% split... which seems to line up pretty well with the numbers you have here. It'll probably continue to fall a bit as time goes on since a lot of the demand early on was the enthusiast crowd that is more likely to order 2-door.

But hopefully sales are strong enough to continue to make the 2-door financially viable. At least until my kids move out of the house so I can buy one

Now if you want to get a really rare config... add on the manual transmission. That's also hovering around 15%. So... napkin math... ~3% have a 2-door manual transmission. Rare.

I wanted a 2dr manual but Wifey vetoed that. I wonder how those numbers add up?

Wife influence vs I buy what I want. Lol

My wife has always driven manuals and likes fun 2-door vehicles. Lately I can't get her out of my 2-door manual Bronco.

My wife had several manual trans 2dr cars over the years, but says she’s been there done that. Both of my kids’ first cars had manual transmissions and they prefer them because of that.

Hey that’s what I got!

Mine encouraged me to shut up and get what I wanted when I started talking logical about getting a 4 door. Lol

That would seem to be the case. I've only seen three other 2-doors around Atlanta -- one cyber orange, one eruption green and an iconic silver. Hope to add yours to the tally one day

I have read that 2 doors are about 15% of all Broncos built. I don't see many of them compared to the 4 door where I am. Most folks need the extra space. My children are all grown, so the 2 door is perfect with the seat delete. I love my 2 door. Once I get the steering rack/tie rods sorted out, I think it is a keeper.

My wife and I decided that we wouldn't buy a bronco if it didn't meet 3 criteria.
2 door, manual, and Sasquatch.
Reserved July of 20.
Decided to order for 21 and do a lift and tires.
Didn't get produced in 21, for 22 Ford offered Sasquatch with manual... Reordered for 22, didn't get produced.
In 23 they offered the Heritage Edition which was the best bang for the buck model, so we changed our order to that.
Rare? There were at most 300 2 door manual Heritage Editions made.
I'm happy with our girl.

Or you could kick the kids out and get one now

2 dr MT reporting in! No other configuration would have made me happy, so the wife insisted on it.

The 2 doors are definitely more rare. When my wife and I see one driving- we always say- "There's a 2 door"! For any Bronco we still say "there's a Bronco" as they just stand out and look so awesome -even after over 2 years owning one.

Mine specially wanted a 2 door manual, she learned how to drive stick for the Bronco. I wasn't about to argue or convince her otherwise.

Rarer still, 2Dr, Manual, + SAS.

I hunted hi and low for one in Cyber and finally opted for non SAS badlands with plan to mount 315’s and add the bump stop. Only to find a listing about a month after I finally pulled trigger.
