2025 Broncos... 2-door going extinct?

[Shawn of the Dead]

2 door daily driver, 100k+ miles to prove it. Still have 3+ vehicles, so you've got me on that! LOL

My 2 door is not really a daily driver but I also have three other cars, and a bunch of motorcycles LOL.

I could daily drive it but my kids are grown.

Mine is my new DD. Though I have more than 3 other vehicles. Wife has the 4Dr.

A 2dr Bronco is a true off-road configuration and is also probably not a daily driver, especially if you have kids. I would venture that the majority of 2dr owners have 3+ vehicles in their stable.

Oh but don't you know, 2drs are for losers with no friends and family who live in momma's basement and spend too much time on forums??

But Real friends are perfectly happy to ride in back.

@BroncoBobArea51
What breed is your dog?

 

[BroncoBobArea51]

Springer Spaniel. Great family dog. Her name is Winnie. Have had several springers thru the years.

English Springer?
Looks like my French Brittany Dewey.

My biggest issue is that if you are in drive and have to go to reverse, make sure you are not in a hurry because sometimes it can take quite a few seconds for it to go into gear. If people are waiting for you they can become impatient.

I have a '23 Sport as well. Worst thing about the dial shift is the idiocy of "temporary neutral mode." You can't leave it in neutral more than 30 minutes and if you need a tow, hope you are around to engage the tow mode because most the tow drivers/AAA have no clue and I doubt your wife/kid do either.

Glad you said something. I didn’t even know that was a thing with it. Especially now since there are two recalls with one similar to our shocks where they don’t expect to have parts until the 2nd or 3rd quarter. Both have to do with charging/ battery causing failure to run.

And to think my mother and father were able to stuff us five kids in a ‘57 two door Ford. Granted, there were no seat belts and it was before car seats, but four of us fit fine in the back seat and getting in and out was no issue. Of course it was more fun to get in and out with the top down!

Yes! My sister and I were relegated to the back seat of the family 1960 2-door Chevy Belair. But my mother also drove it up to the city to finish her Masters, and she didn't have to carry around extra doors (and attending weight) for all those insane miles. We grew up OK.

Dude, I paid $26K for my 2-door. It is totally badass.

And here I thought I got a great bargain at $36k. My sticker when I picked it up at Granger said $45k.

I did decide to spend the extra bills for the Sasquatch... which Ford decided would include me paying extra for an automatic transmission even without me getting an automatic transmission.

@tourproto may be right about there being 3+ vehicles at my house and no little kids, but I do daily drive my 2-door BaseManSquatch. I have been averaging 1000 miles per month for the 20 months I have owned it.

It makes a fabulous daily driver. If anything, the 2-door is better for daily driving tgan the 4-door as the larger doors make errands better for getting in and out, and the B-pillar being farther back makes for better visibility in crowded city traffic.

2dr's alway better unless your a mom in need of a station wagon

I've owed two doors for almost 50 years. Never seen a car that looked better as a four door, and you can count the number of times I've needed to accommodate a back seat passenger since our son grew up on the fingers of no hands . The larger door opening makes it easier to get in and out of a two door, but that long door can bite you if someone is parked close.

If there wasn't a 2-door Bronco... I would have kept my 2-door Wrangler.

Folks at Ford should realize that people like me (retired) don't want 4-door soccer haulers... and we actually have $$$.

No 2-door Heritage edition. Think about it! The only Bronco that comes close to the looks of the original 2-door Bronco IS A CURRENT 2-DOOR Bronco.

The should rename the 4-door Heritage something like "The Wanna Be Bronco", or maybe the "Kid Hauler Bronco".
