My thoughts on 2 door at Super Cel

[icavedin]

My unsolicited 2 cents:
-- 2 doors make sense for buyers who aren't planning on having passengers the majority of the time. If you're planning on others outside of 1 passenger, you should probably look at 4 doors.
-- *If you want resale value, go 4 door. 2 doors significantly reduce the available market, so they will not draw as much money in a private or dealer sale. Likewise for a manual over an automatic transmission.*
-- God invented the roof rack for a reason, if you're worried about moving gear, a rack will handle most of the requirement.
-- 2 doors absolutely look better, hands down, whether a Bronco or Wrangler the 2 door model always looks more rugged and less SUV.
-- 4 doors make sense if you want a larger fuel tank.
-- Aftermarket exhaust probably costs a nominal amount more if you buy a 4 door.
-- Off-road capability is slightly better if you go 2 door.
Other than those elements, I can't see any deciding factors at all. It will mostly be personal preference. If you're looking for a Bronco as a daily people hauler, you're buying the wrong vehicle. There are a plethora of better 4 door people hauler SUVs that cost less than a Bronco. For the 2k+ you'll pay for two more doors and more 'space' inside, you could have probably upped your packages. At the end, it will be a blend of personal/utility. If you're buying a Bronco as a family vehicle, you should probably seriously consider the 4 door.

Well said!
*I definitely agree w/ all your points except this one; to a certain extent*

In the short-term this may be true for sure (to the avg consumer), but if the second hand market is flooded with 4 doors; the 2 door (especially manual) will be rarer and sought after as die hard enthusiasts will always want it.
I share this sentiment all the time w/ older cars; for example, if I wanted a manual FJ Cruiser --- I'd be shelling out a premium because there's far fewer on the market compared to their slushbox brethren.

Same thing is gonna happen here in 2040.

Same here. Tired of everyone on here discussing CG or A51 4 doors with or without Squatch and if we can get real Corinthian leather and a 16" screen for all passengers and if we can get it to automatically drive us to work while we sleep.

What do you mean, you don't want to overthrow the Ford board of directors because of the lack of a white hard top option?

6'3" and he gets in the back in this video .

In this video he says the rear bumper on the Badlands is plastic..... Is this the case? I though the reason the Badlands rear bumper looks different from others is that it is metal.

I am going to be a little bummed out if the front is heavy duty and the rear is just plastic.

Saved me time from reading anything after the first sentence. Thanks

Step 1; bring the 2 door home
Step 2; remove rear seats and store in garage until Bronco is sold
Step 3; enjoy the 2 door

or give me a rear seat delete option

I want a white top but I also have multiple paint guns if its not a factory option.

I never buy a vehicle worried about resale. I buy what I want, enjoy it and get rid of it for whatever I can. Saving a vehicle is like not having sex with your girlfriend so the next guy will have a better time.

Think you may have missed the bit where we both mentioned long term.

Here's a perfect apples:apples comparison w/ 3rd gen 4runners:
Automatic
Manual

Manual netted 50% more w/ double the mileage.
Hundreds, if not thousands of examples like this if you go on enthusiast driven websites.

No I get that, just think it is a pipe dream

Step 2-B; Install Goose Gear Plate System for flat rear cargo and organized storage.

Would love a 2Dr, but can't do it. 6'6 and zero chance a car seat will behind me without touching the back of the seat.
