Is the 2-Door Ford Bronco Family Friendly?

- We took ownership of our Ford Bronco 4-door in August of 2021. Before buying, we'd considered a Bronco 2-door but ultimately chose the roomier but more expensive 4-door. Did we make a mistake? Is the 2-door Ford Bronco family-friendly enough for a family of three? In this video we compare the 2-door and 4-door Broncos to see how they each work for a family. #MicahDrives

My kids are moving on their own in January after 22 years, no more need for car seats. I ordered a 2021/22 Basesquatch 2 door in Area 51. The 2 door in your video looks amazing!
22 years? Of car seat?!
@@gaivoron safety first :)
@@gaivoron Well I you know you have to keep them safe even when they get big.
2 door looks soo much better. Just like a 2 door Wrangler. For short trips, 2 door is fine if you don't have lazy kids/friends. 2 hour road trip is bearable. Plus it being cooler style. I would definitely go with the 2 door. Just my opinion
I never see families in a 2 door wrangler though
Same
If I didn't have a 3rd grade daughter, the 2 door would be nice. Unfortunately, it's just not possible.
As a 23 year old with no wife and kids the 2 door is calling my name 😂 but I love em both! One thing I strongly dislike is the gas mileage. I wish Ford did a better job in that regard. With a EV Bronco more than likely to come in a few years I would prefer that or a hybrid version of the 2 door.
I would prefer the 2 door version of the Bronco. No kids and just me driving, perfect.
Love the looks and compact size of the 2-door, but I agree with you that the 4-door is more practical and family friendly. Love your videos and that you involve your family!
The base 2 door transmission is the manual; the base 4 door comes only as an automatic. That’s why the price disparity is greater than higher trim levels.
That’s not true, friend got the base and his is manual
@@jaroslarkoopman176 if your friend has a base Bronco with a manual, it’s a 2 door. Show me how I can order a 4 door base Bronco with a manual. You can’t.
@Stephen you originally could, and they pulled it
This is the video I needed! Found the perfect 2dr manual Sasquatch near me with high package. But with a toddler, too many sacrifices and no reclining back seat is going to sway me away from it. Thank you this video was super valuable from the family lens!
I'm so glad we could help you make a good decision. Cheers!
Been loving these bronco/off road/ outdoor videos. I love the 2 door but my nest has been emptied a few years now.
Great video, I hope to own a Bronco one day!
Good job presenting the information in a clear concise way. Loved watching!
Answered all my questions and I greatly appreciate it!!! Been waiting for this Bronco video for I also have a small family of three and probably going to aim for the 4 door also. Lol
I wish the fuel tank on the 2 door was the same as the 4 door. Think that’s a bigger deal breaker over any of the other differences.
A very good and in-Depth Information of both Broncos!
Vizs with the family and great content.... outstanding
I really liked the looks of the 2door my son has one he also has two kids ! and the 2 door carrys him and his family really well .
Thanks for the family point of view.
Good information. You guys were fun to watch!
There are only two of us, so the two-door might work for us.
Nice review!I got to poke around a 4 door recently;I t’s MASSIVE! Asa family hauler I get it but try parallel parking and opening the rear door. I love the 2 door and would like to order one because my kids are grown up and don’t need our Explorer anymore.
I came and got my high five! Great video, Muzio family!
Good choice on the 4-door Sasquatch. And as of always. You guys rock. Looking forward to more videos. Oh ya... Evie is a cutie.
Keep em coming guys!!
Hi 👋🏽 from Miami FL
to me the one door is only cooler seeing them side by side, they're both badass !
Love you and your reviews bro, I can't wait for you to be a million subscriber channel
Btw I hope you upload UA-cam short like clips of your videos on tiktok it will grow your UA-cam a ton
The things to consider, and compassion between 4 and 2 Dr was INCREDIBLE
Great video! All logical points, makes complete sense. You know what I tell my two kids and two dogs when they are crammed in my two door badlands? "This is my bronco, go buy your own"
😂
😂😂
I would pick the 4 door.. I don't have small kids, but the ease of use and having friends along for the ride definitely make it worth the price..
Such a great family, you guys are hilarious!!!
You’re very kind, Charles. Cheers!
This is really helpful. My 2 door dreams are being crushed by practicality 😅
Love y’all’s synergy.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing
2 door for me!! I will be removing the rear seats and will make a custom or find an aftermarket flat load floor for my doggies and gear!
Great comparison. Thank you.
I have 2dr black diamond and have 2 girls, 6 and 9. They climb in and out ok, but I agree - there are no easy handles for them to grab onto when climbing in. So fabricating frame mounted sliders with about 6-7inch width as a built in step. They’re able to buckle themselves so I don’t have an issue there. We love it and it works for us. But it’s def less convenient than a 4dr. But We also have a Toyota Highlander as our grandparents/friends/family car. I would have loved a 5th/middle seat in the 2dr, it would be perfect then.
Good review. Thanks.
Great Video! Sold me on the 2 door tho! Thank you!!
I like how your daughter is in charge of the fire extinguisher.
It seemed wise to leave such a big responsibility in the hands of the most competent Muzio. ;)
I am an older, single man and a 2-door would be fantastic for me.On just a personal note, I find the 4-door a bit ugly. Great Review! Cheers!
I agree.
I agree also
I agree. The 4 door is absolutely boring and underwhelming. Look like the Sport and like a typical unattractive Ford.
I agree as well.
The classic Bronco look is definitely the two door
Nice video guys!😸
From watching these bronco videos there are quite a few things the study team could have improved for example you mention the front seat lockout when getting in the back , reclining back seats and in one other video on the for door the ice build up on the rear fenders preventing the rear doors from opening as well as the rear cargo door pivot point and support shock freeze issue 🤔 with that said i like the two door . Ford will mike improvement base on costomer complaints .
Great review comparing both 4 and 2 door variants for every day families. Also, you also do helicopter stuff? ! How cool. Subbed.
Thanks for the kind comment. Glad to have you aboard!
Laughter explosion! 😂💥
2 door looks so good
My 2 door bronco had plenty of room to access the rear seat but mine was a 1974. Wish the seats folded up like the old bronco’s
I just discovered your channel, and really like the "family review." Too many reviewers focus mostly on the specs. As a new vehicle shopper, I like the subjective viewpoint on how these vehicles work in the real world. Thank you!
P.S. How is the 2.3L in the Bronco? Does it have enough oomph?
Thanks for the kind words! It's been a real joy making car reviews as a family.
As for the 2.3L, I have zero complaints about power. We live in the mountains and in our hilly town the Bronco does a great job getting up to speed.
You guys brought up all the reasons I went with my 4 door Sasquatch. I have a 9 year old daughter and having her climb in and out would have been a nightmare, plus the extra room in the cargo area is nice
When I was 9 years old, I was climbing shoddily made tree houses two stories high. Kids need to limber up if they can't get back there IMO. Also, why isn't the kid just doing her own seatbelt? I always did mine, you just get up, reach back, and pull it down to click in place its not hard to master. My mama would have slapped me upside the head if I just sat there like a princess to be doted on hand and foot, lol!
@@BoopSnoot I was the same way at that age, but we had a mustang it was no fun with my daughter climbing in out plus when my wife had to get one her friends, that was a whole other chore
@@BoopSnoot not all cars are the same. My 5 and 7 year old grandkids can do their own seat belts in their dads car but in mine they (and me) struggle.
I'm just going to say what we're all thinking. Your 9 year old daughter is the real problem.
@@uttamgala7186 ?
The location of the fire extinguisher seems dangerous to the rear passengers. It has some sharp metal bits I wouldn't want to hit in a crash.
INFORMATION EXPLOSIONNNNNN!!!!!!!!
Most explosive information we've gotten yet!
Vehicles with trunks like that you can enter from the back. It's not a coupe car so more options especially with soft top.
4 door for me. I actually ordered a Bronco very similar to yours. Big Bend, Sas, 2.7, and cactus grey 😁. Thanks for the video!
Oh, and how did you like the MGV seats?
You clearly have excellent taste! 😎
@@Face2FaceHardware From a comfort perspective, I prefer the breathability of our cloth seats. Though I reserve the right to completely change my mind when my kiddo inevitably spills her apple juice all our our seats.
@@MicahMuzio I appreciate the feedback. I live in the hot and humid southeast and chose the BB over the BD for that reason alone.
@@Face2FaceHardware I think you made a wise choice. 🤘
4 door makes more sense for my family with little kids. I also like the extra space when the kids are not in the vehicle
I like the two door better I never fold up the rear seat. Living in my RAM minivan 99% of the time I only use the side sliding cargo doors. I attempt to keep it parked 99% as a small camper at a campsite.
A real Bronco will have 1 door on each side and it looks better. But I understand the needs and accessibility of the 4 door and pains me to say that Ford has to make a 4 door otherwise they just wouldn't sell enough 2 doors to justify making a Bronco.
I have a two door on order, but I am a single guy so the extra money for four door just doesn't make sense for me. It only makes sense to get the four door when the Bronco must be a family vehicle. Plus, and something you did not mention in the video, have the shorter wheel base of a two door configuration means that the truck will less likely scrape the bottom going over hills.
No sea saw action on the two door at all, I have the badlands two door. The two door looks the best and ride quality is great. More leg room in the two door also with the position of the door. It’s not much but it’s like 1/2 Inch or 3/4 more leg room in the two door. Accessing the two does is not that friendly so if you have kids four door is best,
I want the 2 door bronco so bad. Great buy on the 4 door tho!
I went with a 2 door manual. Bout 1,000 lbs less than the 4 door 6 cylinder Auto Sasquatch.
Our 2 door Bronco seats stay forward due to the surface rust and salt from the air here in south Texas. Lol
Both Jeep and Ford make it pain to get in the back seat of the two door on purpose. They want you to buy the four door (more profit). Back in the day before four doors, the two door seats would fold and move up to the dash. Access to the 2 door back seats was much easier.
I have 2 door big bend, and love it, but I am sans kids though.
I am buying both
2 Door looks way more KEWL!
How is the fire extinguisher secured in the 2 door?
Would love to see you guys check if the 2-defender is family friendly. Great video!
Yes please
Yes good idea.
I ordered a two-door because it reminds me of my last car an element, it seems to me to be a beefier versionl.
Very nice
regardless of 4 or 2 doors, setting in the back of a bronco is somewhere painful for trips over 2 hr long
Thank You Sweetie.. For making this MAN!! Choose the 4 door instead LOL
And people wonder why two-door vehicles are a dying breed. They're like supermodels, stylish but difficult to live with.
I prefer the new Broncos over any Jeeps, 4runners, or Tacomas. They’re so cool looking especially lifted and modded.
I feel the same! But I’m holding out to see the redesign of the Tacoma and 4Runner and hopefully that gives this crazy world we live to calm the F down on prices
Have a bronco 2 door sasquatch, but no way am I going to sell my 4runner trd.
@@achilles5197 I’m so jealous, 2 doors are my fav especially with the sasquatch pack. Just put a leveling kit on it and you’re good to go.
What color is that 2 door?
How Lovely family
True Broncos like the Jeep Wranglers should only be a 2 door in ny opinion. They just look way better.
Yeeeaaaaahhhhhh getting a kid and carseat back there is no bueno!
91K, I can almost smell that windowless van
No soft top on 2dr?
I’d get the two door if I had the money, but I’m single with no kids, a light packer and I don’t off-road, so the car I’d get is a Miata.
Í have a Miata, but I want the 2 Door Bronco manual transmission.
@@tecedo1 You and me both! Too bad it’s so expensive…
2 door looks stunning but that 4 door just has the space. Changed my order to the 4 door big bend. Because that rear space was terrible your feet go under the seat. Need to be a kid or small person to fit
Is there a lot of road noise in the hard top version and is the overall ride quality smooth? I’ve been considering buying one and I have newborn twin girls and I certainly don’t want buy something they will be uncomfortable in.
Sadly our time in the 2-door was limited to driving around out mountain town. So we didn’t get a chance to properly judge interior noise at higher speeds.
That said, the hard top is definitely the quieter choice. And ride quality is good, both in the 2-door and our 4-door Sasquatch.
The four door is the more practical choice, but it also looks like a typical bloated soccer mom suv. The two door seems more adventurous
Laag room?
Abundant!
UA-camrs can probably stop pointing up when referencing another link to a video to watch. A lot of people watch UA-cam on TVs and those graphics don't come on the screen. And those watching on phones, tablets and computers already see them.
Tbh I prefer the look of the 4 door
Late 20s, no kids = 2 door bronco for me. Plus it's easier to park hahah
The two door towing is the full 3,500 pounds, the 4 door is 3,260
Wow base price is lower than my 2020 accord sport, I wouldn't mind getting one for about that price 🙄
The price difference is lower in all models except the base because of the automatic transmission.
Ahhh. That makes sense. Can’t believe I missed it. Thanks for clarifying!
Yes, you're crazy for buying that 4-door station wagon. If you want family friendly, get a minivan. You don't buy a Corvette, then worry about back seat access for kiddo's, or demand Chevy make a 4-door family friendly version. Bronco is in that category of specialty vehicles, and 4-doors are not real Bronco's, imo, despite Ford labeling them so. Plus, in your case, the 2-door would have been fine. Your kid won't be in a child seat much longer, and could probably buckle herself in already. Then there's the other benefit, you'd never have to take the in-laws with you, since they're not going to climb into the back of the 2-door. lol If you had to have a 4-door 4x4, you should have bought a 4-Runner. It would last forever if you took care of it, with very little maintenance cost. I'm not so confident in Ford when it comes to that anymore.
Can’t take the top off a 4Runner. Otherwise I’d consider it
4 door will likely keep better resale since it really has a universal fit/adaptability…reduces the limitations of the 2door. I loved this INFORMATION packed video. Your daughter was a perfect example of how HARD ingress and egress from that trapped back seat really is.
Doing well my subcriber
I’d definitely get the 4 door…. But at this point… I just want a bronco and might cave.
2021 Broncos on Mecum now
Keep going back and forth by the jeep is way better … especially the 2 door
When I was a kid most off-road vehicles and trucks were 2 door. I had no problem crawling in the back of several 2 door SUVs and I loved it. i felt like it was my own special area and most had better outside views than 4 doors. I liked being able to see a lot out the windows. I hear so many people complain that it's to difficult to get in the back seat. I can't help but laugh. Unless you have a physical disability, you have no excuse having trouble getting back there and complaining about is just pathetic. Your kids can easily handle it. If your kids complain to much, than you failed as a parent. If you need a family hauler you buy a cuv or van or a car. The off road suv stays as your personal weekend adventure truck. If your friends or family complain about crawling in the back, make them drive you in their car and make plenty of lazy jokes. Off-road vehicles are meant to be 2 door. They are not meant to be family haulers. However, they can still be good family haulers. The real issue is that Americans are getting lazy and obese.
Dude, main takeaway from your comment was being young and getting into the backseat of a 2 door. As an adult, it’s annoying, but as a kid my dad had a ram and I LOVED getting in the back. It never bothered me.
I would buy the 2 door. Much better looking than the 4 door.
The 2 door in a sasquatch would look 10x better than 4 door IMO.
I would take a 2-door Bronco and a 4-door Explorer.
No Micah, The 2 door is clearly not aimed at families but we will continue to praise Ford for bringing to market a 2 door and a manual Bronco to compete with the base Wrangler.
Does 'No more boring cars' Toyota have the GUTS to do the same? As a final thought, let's hope some of the cash and momentum Ford gains from the new Bronco can be put towards the next Country Squire which disappeared around the same time the earlier Bronco did. :-)
What was the reasoning for putting a fire extinguisher in the backseat?
The 2-door is owned by a friend. I’m not sure why she placed a fire extinguisher but I’m guessing it was a safety-related decision.
@@MicahMuzio oh 🤦♂️ I missed that it was the 2 door. I was wondering why you’d put that there since it wouldn’t be safe for your daughter in an accident. I love the vibe of all your videos and thanks for responding!
@@garrettw99 All good, Garrett. Cheers!
Wow so you guys have 2 bronco‘s and I can’t find one.
To clarify, the 2-door is owned by a friend of ours.
Owning three Broncos now, and all older models being two doors, I simply continued in the same lane. Now my kids are grown, so family hauling has been relegated to the past, and now just have to worry about the wife and I, or a single buddy to go wheeling with. In fact the rear seats will be coming out to build an over-landing system. The '67, nor the '85, have their rear seats in them either. My Broncos are first toys, and then modes of transportation, as we have other vehicles for simple conveyance. I guess that would make us purists as my wife prefers. My best friend calls me a snob, and the wife a purist. But she cooks for him when he comes to visit!🤣😂🤣
