I ordered a 2-Door Black Diamond, Sasquatch, 2.7 in January. I've seen a handful of 4-doors in my area but only one 2-door so far. Ironically, the same color as the one I ordered, Catus Gray.

I very much prefer the look of the 2-door. My uncle had an 86 Bronco II when I was growing up and it's what I learned to drive in so there is a nostalgic factor, as well. Plus, I'm 42, married with no kids, so we don't need the extra room. Sometimes we take the dogs out to the park on the weekends but that annoyance wasn't worth compromising what I really wanted.

The only REAL Bronco is a 2-Door Bronco. ;)

(I'm totally just trolling - if and when I have a kid, I will own a 4-door)
No need to cop to anything, when we got guy's driving Camrys, Edge's, and a glorified Grand Marquis trying to equate a Bronco to a soccer mom, we can all get a chuckle. :ROFLMAO:

I reserved Christmas Day 2020 and then ordered a 2021, 2 door big bend 2.7 mid package March 2021. Reordered the 2022 last November. Took off trailer tow, mod bumper (which were constrained at the time) and a WEEK laterreceived notification that I was scheduled for production Jan. 10. Got pushed to the 17th, blended on 19th. Sat on ice mountain for about a month and finally received built notification on 3/30. Next phase was awaiting shipment and finally got notification that it is shipped this Wednesday. Got rail car info and expected delivery is 4/23.
All that being said,

I KNOW how lucky I am., trust me. I was shocked tbh. My dealer was even prepping me for 2023! But I think removing those 2 items helped. And luckily, my dealer is on the good list. Now since I’ve moved from Dallas area to Vegas, have to fly back and take delivery and get ready for my first road trip with my baby! 😍😉

It is simpler than that.
Those that can afford a 4 door get a 4 door
And then there’s…well
oh please, the difference between a 2 and 4 door is ~$2100 on any trim other than a base.

It's actually more than that, because if you want a Manual Transmission you have to buy a Big Bend, so the price difference is a lot more.

One of the many reasons's I didn't switch to a 4-door softie to get it faster. I'd ahve to spend an extra 6-grand for two extra doors and a squishy top I don't want. Plus the 4-door is way more cramped in the front due to the short doors.

This is why I just went ahead and bought a 2dr JL Rubicon to get me thru until Ford finally pulls my number. I'm a 2DR BadSquatch with Lux and Tow and I refuse to change from that. We'll see if some time in the Jeep changes my mind on whether to proceed with the Bronco if/when it ever comes down the line.

I love all the 2 Door better than 4 Door banter, but the best Bronco is the one your own driveway! Please Ford let me know that feeling someday🤠

I wanted a stock configuration offroading machine so I ordered a 2 door base manual sasquatch.

If Ford releases a Plug-in Hybrid variant of the Bronco, I might also get a 4 door version as a people-hauler.

These are good points but these are different times, a different market with a different demand. We’re talking about the bronco in 2022. The raptor is the flagship and will be the better valued truck in the long run just as it does in the f150 lineup.so long as the raptor exist only in 4 door you will not find the median resale value of a 2 door at or above that of the raptor.
Didn't mention the BRaptor once in this post... but since you bring it up, I agree it will hold value better than any other 4-door (until the BRaptor-R comes out). I'd include any highly desirable limited run vehicle in the same category.

My point was that even though the 4 doors cost more initially... in the long run (trim-for-trim, option-for-option) eventually 2-doors will be worth more... not next year... but 10-20 years down the road.

To take it a step further, the desirability and relatively low take on 2dr with 2.3/7MT will make them (especially Mansquatches) much sought after by "purists" in the future... in the same way BRaptors will be sought after - same equation: cool + limited edition = hard to find and highly priced.

You seriously went into profiles to see what people drive? Wow. Not gonna judge... but wow.

.. and yep.. a Marauder as a "glorified Grand Marquis"... just like a BRaptor is "glorified 4-door"... and Shelbys are "glorified Mustangs". Some people appreciate limited-production factory performance vehicles. Some people bolt 35s on their Bronco and suddenly think they have a Sasquatch.

... and besides it's totally irrelevant what anyone on here drives... people don't need to have a 2-door "pedigree" to comment on this forum... Camry and Edge owners can appreciate a 2 door as much as anyone.

Restoring and owning a 64 Comet 202 coupe, 65 Ranchero, 66 Mustang GT, 67 Falcon Sports Coupe, and a couple of regular cab short beds probably over-qualifies me as 2-door Ford fanboy... but so what? You don't need 'credentials' to want a 2-door Bronco... or to poke fun at moardoor owners for their poor life choices. 🤙
