Big shout out to Wyobronc for letting me test drive his new Wildtrak!

The first time I was able to see the Cyber Orange in person, it's an amazing color in the sun the metal flake just stands out.

Agree, it shows much better in person.

I recently sold my 2011 Yellow Blaze Tri-Coat metallic Mustang. To my untrained eye, it’s just about the same as Cyber Orange. It’s at its best in bright sunshine when it absolutely pops. It got the most compliments of any car I’ve owned. But in the shade it just looks like a dull yellow. Friends would see it in my garage and say they thought the paint had faded.

I know there have been dozens of threads and posts on this subject - but for you all two door peeps who have had your Broncos for a while now, what are your thoughts, realistically, on the practicality/cargo space?

I have a two door Badlands on order. My wife and I have no kids, but we do have a couple of dogs. I keep flipping back and forth between needing more space.

I've seen plenty of four-door Broncos "in real life" at this point, but I have yet to ever actually see a two door in-person.

Can a two door fit enough luggage and camping gear in the rear cargo area for a couple of adults? Seems like it can. But I guess I need "reassurance". Ha.

The gear and the dogs definitely would be a stretch. I wish the rear floor was level (as many others have stated) but for two people you should be able to fit the gear in.

As far as overall size, I pulled my previous 4-dr Jeep up next 2-dr Bronco, and the Jeep was only a little bit longer to the naked eye. I don’t know how much exactly, but it wasn’t much at all. So it’s a big vehicle!

For cargo, the 2-dr Bronco has double the space in the rear of a 2-dr Jeep—easily double.

If your kids (doesn’t apply to you, I know) are not in car seats, they can easily climb into the back of a 2-dr Bronco. Even adults have no issue with that.

As far as dogs, you can fold down the rear seats if you like?

Not even having a VIN, this is simply personal opinion having seen a more-door and 2-door side by side (with tailgates open), and taken measurements for myself based around the gear I would want to bring on a 2-week trip which includes no more than 5 consecutive days off-grid at a time. My rough calculations are that I could easily have a group of 3 adults with all their gear, who sleep separately, packed and loaded into a 2-door badlands as the only vehicle to get us out to a proper backpacking trailhead or simply camping out in the mountains. 4 adults would be critical gear only, plus filters and freeze-dried food only, no cooler, no fresh foods.

In general thought, my feeling is that 2-door will require some actual planning and specific gear to fit everything if either one of you likes to pack redundancy. Example: You'll be searching for a cooler which fits neatly in the cargo area instead of schlepping yourself down to the store and buying whatever you like (for which there are several which have been posted around B6g), and if you plan to have the dogs or people in the back seat, then planning how you tie-down your gear in the cargo area will be important.

The above being said; if you plan for the 2-door from the get-go instead of just whipping out the credit card for every new product posted without adequately planning it's effectiveness, then it should not be that much work to optimize.

Now, if either of you are the type to carry 20% worthless gear you don't need in the first place, 2-door lifestyle probably isn't for you.

Having driven a 4dr BB for the past 8 months and driving my 2dr WT this past weekend, I can honestly say the difference in interior space is noticeable between the two, and as usual Rick Astley, you are correct. Planning, prioritizing, and judgement will be required with any Bronco, but as it relates to the 2dr in particular.
I’m keeping the 4dr as well as the Wildtrak as my wife has developed an unanticipated affinity for the elongated more-door. The more-door was going to be a gap vehicle until the 2dr arrived, but now I’m undeniably a Ford fanboy since a 2021 Ranger is also in the picture. I suppose I should speak more revenant of the blue oval less I be viewed as a hypocrite.
But I digress….My 2dr has roof racks and I have a hitch-mounted cargo basket which will help tremendously, but as with anything…….failing to plan is planning to fail.
Get what you want and make it work, or get something else, or get ‘em both.

Appreciate the detailed thoughts here. When I was younger, I was all about "packing light" and "roughing it". But as I've aged... I have to admit, I'm starting to enjoy bringing more creature-comforts with me. And, more importantly, bringing all those random knick-knacks that we stop and impulsively buy from roadside vendors up in the mountains home with us... Methinks I should reconsider and go with the four door.

Pull the seats, build a platform and don't look back. There's a TON of room in the 2-door with the seats pulled, our dogs love it back there.

You don't need more space, you just think you do.

I miss the space of my FSB, that was cavernous enough for me to take a week long camping trip without issues.

I agree the space is perfect in back if you remove the seats. Plenty of room for dogs or gear.

At what point do you become a hoarder?

HA HA HA!!!!

Said as a person who owns 4 cars personally, plus a few Model A frames with titles, plus the GF's Ranger.

I don't really understand needing a 2-door Bronco, 4-door Bronco and a Ranger, but realistically that's only a 4-door Bronco away from what will be in our garage (plus all the hot rods), so while you seem like a crazy bastard in your post above, the reality is that it seems we're both crazy bastards!

Thankfully my GF is also military and doesn't see the need to own a ton of things (just a redundant level of redundancy), so with a parcel shelf in the cargo area for high-volume-low-mass objects to be strapped down, we're not even planning on needing the back seats folded down for our road trips.
