How much more do we see Ford limiting the 2 door? Is there a chance it goes away entirely ?

If Ford kills the 2-door what would they use in their ads?! Hell, they even made a 2-door concept Raptor last year. They know the sexy PR value of a trail machine even tho most buyers want a station wagon.

I think Ford is smart enough not to compete with their own products.... ie. Ranger/F150.

The Ranger of today is more like the F150 of 25 years ago. A small truck is needed, especially one with a manual tranny...

Yup I keep saying, if they put the bronco 7 speed in the Ranger and keep the 7k tow rating I’ll fighting people to get the first one off the line and trade my f150 in for it. Otherwise that truck is going to be replaced with a used f150 or some used ev truck depending on how many more years I get out of it.

2 door is the Bronco they want, 4 door is the Bronco their wives allow them to purchase.

Probably more accurately, a 4 door jeep is what their wives want and a 4 door bronco is what their husbands bought for them because they didn’t want to deal with Fixing a heep.

This means I like what my 2DR says about my relationship. And hey, she’s got her own car! (Volvo SUV 5-door).

Or what we USED to call...a station wagon.

Cannot even fathom of calling the Suburbans of the 70s/80s an SUV - customers would have been 'da fu...?' as they headed for sanity elsewhere...

Took me 9 months of searching to find a used 2022 2-door in Eruption green... I wanted a 50-year newer 'kid sister' to my '72 (which only came in 2-door!)

Stationwagons were always cars. The bigger wagons like wagoneers and cherokees, I always just thought of them as jeeps or suburbans. Mentally, I never connected them as anything else or heard them called anything else.

I lucked out, the wife wouldn't let the 4 door in the family.

When I was a kid, my aunt and uncle had a mid-'70s Suburban, a lovely sea foam green with fake wood down the sides. It was affectionately known as The Bus. Which it was, not an SUV.

When I was younger growing up in PA, We WANTED our SUVs to be "Station Wagons" because it was cheaper for both insurance and taxes... My Scout II's and 2 Door Suburbans from the 60's Were all registered and titled as Station Wagons. We didn't really care what they were labeled as, like folks seem to today...

I blame the rise of the minivan in the 80's, all the sudden we had to classify every type of vehicle, and SUV was OK for Men, But Station Wagon and Mini van weren't...

I don't care what anyone calls my vehicle, as long as it suits my needs and wants

What? No love for the AMC Eagle...a factory 4x4 wagon...

I see 4 doors. Zero love. In high school, I had a 72 Wagoneer. 4 door, with a rare manual. I loved the engine and the 4 speed, and wanted to swap them into a Cherokee, so I could really love the vehicle. It's either two doors or too many.

Dad wanted to get one of those Eagles for mom, but she ended up with a wagoneer too lol
