OP didn’t ask if it would be easier to get his kid into a 4 door vs 2 door. He asked for thoughts compared to Jeep’s bench seat vs Bronco’s bucket seats. Seems like he is set on 2 door already.
Now, yes I think the bucket seats are definitely going to be better than the bench when it comes to...
Durango. If taking the whole crew, we wouldn’t be going off road much so it works for what we would need. Bronco will be for me and my so. As he gets older to really get out into nature
In all honesty though, if I were you I would:
Go 4 door, roof rack with basket or box (depending on gear), buy a big (8 person) tent (love my 6 person from REI), and put the dog in the cargo area. If more space needed, you could get a hitch mounted basket for coolers and such.
I have one of these “crib midgets” and I’m still getting a 2 door. Got the wife’s blessing too. Though admittedly I’m going to be coming from a Mini so I’m actually gaining space
Heated seats. Gets pretty chilly here in MA during the winter...and fall...and spring. And I can imagine the vinyl will stay cold for a while without it
Oh man. I don’t know which to believe now. I’m all in on AMB if it comes out like Leno’s. Was my first choice anyway. If not, then I’m leaning Iconic Silver or even Race Red
