No V-6 Two Doors??

[ThunderFlash]

Used... Or MAYBE a leftover 24 Limited.

Probably not enough room on the 2-door body to put new and exciting "1966" Easter eggs on it. Because four doors are the Bronco's heritage from way back in '66....er 2021.

They just play us. If they kill off the two door by de-optioning it into pathetic sales, I don't see a bright future for the Bronco brand surviving as a 4-door and a "Sport". They may not sell near as many 2-doors for various reasons, but the 2-door is THE CORE ESSENCE of the Bronco brand. More people may buy 4-doors, but most people want a 2-door.

Having both 2.3 and 2.7 I can attest to the fact 2.3 has far excellent low end torque.. In fact my HPP Mustang would smoke 465HP GTs off the line.

A 2.3 with FP tune is even better than 2.3 HPP motor. I do love the 2.7 equally.

IMO both suck off road realitive to a 46 HP 250 lb off riad dirt bike with fat superior off road capabilities by any measure.

A 5000lb vehicle off road is a dog anyway you look at it abscent 650+ hp and ft lb, as well as 14" of suspension travel on $150K coilovers along with full roll cage somits doesnt fold in half.

I would suggest to OP that perhaps the 2.3 with FP tune on base model bronco with its light weight wheel tires is and excellent choice.

What tune? There is no "tune" for 2025+ 2.3-liter Bronco's.

lol sales has absolutely nothing to do with your perceived view of how the 2 doors look.
Nobody expected big 2 door sales. It's no different then the wrangler.
You assuming the looks of a 2 door has something to with sales is just ignorance.

There are PLENTY of comments throughout this forum showing that a lot of 4 door owners agree the 2 door looks far better, but some people simply needed more room.

Far more people are buying the 2 door for looks, as opposed to the 4 door for looks.

I agree and I am one such person. I bought a 4-door but think the 2-door looks better.

Why I will never buy a new bronco again…

agreed. My exact 2 door 7Mt 21 Badlands is like $8k higher MSRP last time I checked

Question for the two door purists...suppose Ford announces a 2027 V8 option only available in the moar door configuration. Would you buy one?

I'm not a 2 door purist...just a 2 door owner since that's what I wanted...but no, I would not.

Nope sure wouldn't.
It isn't that I like the 2 for better than the 4 door... It's that I don't like how the 4 door looks at all.
I chose the 2.3 over the 2.7 because I wanted the manual.
The V8 wouldn't get a manual.
I don't beat on my 2.3, rarely go over 4k rpm, which is lower than the coyote shines. Godzilla would be fine there.
Would it sound better?
Oh yes!
But I wouldn't give up what I love about the bronco for the sound.
For the sound and a little more punch, I have my Challenger.

Same.
My parents brought me home from the hospital in a 1972 Mach 1. Later on it was a 78 Cougar and then a 88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. Guess my dad refused to be a mini van guy and that's what the 4 door looks like to me

When I was a kid, my parents stuffed my sister and I in the backseat of a 2 door pinto hatchback. You don't NEED a 4 door for kids. You only think you do.

That's a no for me.
Door count aside, or even if they offered it with a 2 door also, the price would likely be absolutely ridiculous. I'm good with my little 2.7 that makes V8 power even if it sounds like shit in comparison lol

I'd jump on an NA V8 option no matter how many doors (as long as it isn't Raptor-priced)

Not a chance. I didn’t even go for the 2.7 because it only came with the automatic.

I’ll concede there is less space, but that’s not what I bought it for. It is the same response when people whine about the gas mileage. As for people getting in the back, grandkids love it and have no issues. Grandparents, not so much.

We had two doors growing up and somehow a family of 7 fit in it. But it also had a hardtop as well that sort of removed. It also limited the storage space with the top removed. Interesting that nearly 70 years later, things haven’t changed much.

Interesting that nearly 75 years later, things haven’t changed much.

Except they don't build 'em like they used to!

That thing is sexy!

No, if that was the case I would have bought a 392 Wrangler. For me the 2 door is purely nostalgia. I've had 2 EB's (my first car at 15 years old was an EB), Gen 2, and 2 Gen 6's. No Bronco 4 doors for me, but it's purely emotional.

It's a real pain to get my Granddaughter in the one remaining back seat but this car puts a smile on my face so big and makes me feel 15 again every time I drive it, it's worth it. We could easily put the car seat in the Grand Cherokee but she LOVES the Ruby Red Bronco.

True, but I still hope my grandkids have mine 75 years later but I doubt it.

It’s not bad considering it’s a survivor and never restored. Changed the brakes to disk brakes so the original 14 inch wheels and hub caps had to go. The interior needed a refresh but that’s about it.
