2025 Broncos... 2-door going extinct?

[BigBlue4]

I was seriously considering a 2-door. It was the poor back seat access that killed it for me. I like my friends and I don't like to see them suffer.

I have the 2 door and the backseat space is bigger then the 4 door and out of all the 2 door models the bronco has the most space to get in the back (better then the wrangler and Land Rover). I’m in my 30’s and so are my friends so getting in the back is no problem and everyone has said it’s comfortable back there. It has its limits, probably wouldn’t be ideal for a 3 hour + Trip but an hour or under is no problem. Also I have 2 dogs 50lbs each so not too big but the back has plenty of room seats up or down.

I can confirm that even them olds known as "40-agers" that admit they're my friends have expressed the same sentiments. Typically, "ooh nicer back here than I thought!" Even had a 6' 7" Chinese dude back there and yeah, getting past the door/seat was the only issue he had (technically, late 30's).

This extinction level event is why I just sprung on my 2024 2DR Heritage. Would have liked the new dash, but the savings are solid now and the 2DR is about to go bye bye (completely so in Heritage).

Even though I'm not buying one, the discontinuance of the 2-door Heritage Edition really frosts me. Why even have a trim called Heritage Edition, with features that are supposed to resemble and honor the original Bronco, and not have a 2-door available like the original? If I were Ford and for some reason had to limit the availability of 2-doors, the HE is the very last one I'd keep going.

They aren't really even trying, though. Unless you have exactly three kids, the 2-door works in every situation the 4-door does. The 4-door does have a lot more cargo space, but our very first trip in the Bronco was a 5-day, 4-state, 3 adult, 1 pre-teen journey. Everything fit, everyone was comfortable. We all took turns in the back, and I found it perfectly fine. So we had to climb in behind the front seats--no big deal. Probably 95+ percent of the time, people are driving alone or with no more than one other person, anyway.

While I only have 2(well might as well be 4 with how often we watch our nieces lol) the main reason for 4 door was Car seats. Car seats now are freaking massive lol and a pain in the ass to get kids in and out of. Don't even get me started on trying to get the car seat in the correct secure position lol. Even in my wife's explorer I felt like I had no room to get the right pressure getting them secured haha. At the time I got mine, my daughter was still in a rear facing seat and my son was in a front facing.

You're only young once, but you can be immature forever!

No doubt about that. But she’s not trained against dogs. She was trained with the help of friends in the LA county SD swat K9 program, with the exception of German commands. She responds only to Tsalagi (Cherokee) commands.
anatolians are indeed beasts.
but I’m sure he’s wouldn’t tangle with Sam, our English springer.

I love most dogs, but Springers have awesome energy.

My latest family member is this stone cold killer.

It's alright brother. You're good.

You've been around here long enough. We know you, we know your heart! It's 2 Dr all the way, but to sacrifice for the kids is noble.

Now, once they out of them seats! It's a trade in on that $75K Stroppe for you all the way!

I had made the comment just the other day in a PM regarding the HE 2-dr getting nixed:

"And while we are on the topic, the Bronco brand manager and any of the underlings that decided on nixing the 2-dr HE for MY'25 should have been fired on the spot. Farley should have allowed the Bronco brand manager to make the decision. But it shouldn't have been so much as a decision but a litmus test of their decision making abilities. Any decision that deviates from continuing the 2-dr among the Heritage lineup shows an inability to grasp the concept of heritage among the Bronco brand.

Nixing the 2-dr on other trims is disappointing, but not a hill to die on. Nixing the 2-dr on the HE is the proverbial "crossing of the Rubicon" and employment should have been terminated by everyone involved with that approval. "

Yes, YES, and OMFG YES!!!!!!

I feel that the Stroppe Edition is almost lip service to heritage. They will barely make any of them and the price is exorbitant.

I think that I speak for the entire 2 door mafia...

We decide which hill we want to die on!

Which for me is preferably with only 2 doors and not in a Jeep!

2 door is going the way of the cuckoo bird , Ev , hybrid , plug in and no full ice will be the final bullet to the Magoo mobile

Good! Cuckoo birds are found on every continent except Antarctica.

You pegged it. I hope Bronco Brand Manager Jason Hyde takes note of your comment.
