2 door rear seats NOT removable

[beachman101]

Unless Ford runs the numbers and sees that it’s a feature that most consumers don’t want and wouldn’t use if it’s equipped that way.

All of the gripes over the cargo space in the two-door is a matter of wanting ten pounds of crap in a five-pound sack. There‘s no way to satisfy the mob without major changes to the overall dimensions or the rear suspension. If you want a smaller Bronco, accept that you’re giving up space.

we are not asking for the same space as a 4 door.

we are asking for the same storage solution as the 4 door (a flat surface)

Me too

Gotta' always think of the term "modular" with the Bronc. Ford says it. That's what makes the aftermarket go gaga. Aftermarket makes something for everyone. You just need a good starting point to work with and they will build.

Jeep sales guys will be all over the fact that there’s more room in the Broncos in every configuration than in the wrangler?

Nice job @RMG72 !!! I wish I would have bookmarked more stuff like that. I forget where I have seen things. @laj.tuxmek had some cool insider stuff. I didn't think the pic/video of the 2DR seats folded down was correctly done.



......... hhhhhmmmm....... wonder what's up there ......

I'd think a full delete in the aftermarket likely would not be reversible. I bet that anyone considering that plans to hold the vehicle for 10+ years...And then what happens you can't trade it into Ford when they come out with the newer broncos?

I always planned on permanent rear seat delete (of course they can be removed) and open my wallet to goose gear for a flat surface.
No big deal.

Had a 1986 Ramcharger where the back seats were "not removable" (they had a fold and tumble thing). Previous owner welded the mounting nuts to the underside of the floor and viola, removable with one wrench in about 5 minutes. Getting that heavy pig out and storing it, a different question.

Folded forward and you used the seatbelt to hold it in place. Loved my '90 but that 318 was the worst engine I've had in any vehicle.

Why wouldn't seat removal be reversalble? I am sure we just talking about removing a handful of bolts. I doubt they welded them to the floor.

“Flat” = 4” step and slight incline

Hahahaha

In the Ford design teams opinion the staircase between my 1st and second floor is flat

C'mon ford, stairs aren't flat

there’s more room in the Broncos

Usable room would be the key metric; unless your dog crates & coolers & boxes have a 4" step, Bronco's two-door design is not friendly. PLENTY of space - but compromised

I didn't think the pic/video of the 2DR seats fold was correctly done.

If FORD thought they had a winner in the 2-door rear, we'd be seeing a zillion pictures of it...and a dozen you tube videos as well. However, they seem to be hiding it

I mean a full delete, to make a totally flat area. You'd probably need them to remove the crater area and/or weld something in place to level everything

I’ve only saw one picture of a two-door with the seat folded down. Since it’s a two-step process, it’s within the realm of possibility that the bottoms of the seat haven’t been moved away and are preventing the back from laying flat. If that’s the case, it’s much ado about nothing.

Assuming the worst and the picture is accurate, then tell me what needs to be changed. All of the seat backs on modern SUVs are pretty tall, so I’m willing to bet that it’s dictated by regulation. Put the front seat as far back as it’ll go and then use the height of the seat to dictate how far back it needs to be in order to lay flat. How much more space behind the rear seat is the average consumer willing to give up?

And mine was the last of the 2bbl carburetor models. Something like a hot 120 Hp out of 5.2L displacement. To make up for that, it had the snowplow package with stiffer front springs than the one-ton. Blew a shock once and the only symptom was funny tire wear.

Even if Ford doesn’t offer the tray to bridge the step, someone will. It will be an extremely easy fix to a “problem” that 95% of buyers won’t have.
