Being able to completely remove the back seat in 5 minutes is killer. It’s so useful and functional.

[@drivenmad2089]

Yep! Allows you to pack stuff in the back really easy. Thanks for watching!

Big facts

[@xzysyndrome]

I can remove my Wrangler back seat in less than 5 minutes...it is literally a non issue. I can remove the top and doors in about the same amount of time...It holds everything I need for a week long trip.

[@Tradebear]

Finally, someone covers the cargo area of the 2-door Bronco. I, too, am very bummed about the backseat NOT folding down flush with the rear cargo area. This is a dealbreaker for me on the 2-door model. I went to the dealership and the 4-door, the seats DO fold down somewhat flush/on an angle. I want my dogs to be happy. they would hate that hump on long trips to my cabin. Great video. Thanks!

Best rear seat comparison of 2-door Bronco and 2 door Wrangler. Currently, drive a 2-door Wrangler and submitted an order for a 23MY 2-door Bronco, 21 Sept. Sure hope I won't have to wait a year and a half. By coincidence, my build is same as yours.

Unexpectedly had a job change relo'ing me to Seattle, and definitely have a need for a 2dr again (perfect city wheels IMO), so just put in my build order for a JL. In an apartment now, but loving how easy it will be to take out the back seat (easier than in the JK), and can store it in the apartment. Thanks for your dedicated vids, Dakota. You have a great ability to demonstrate the practical aspects of living with a Wrangler. Power on!

What would the height measurements be from floor to ceiling in the bronco above the folded rear seats? Thanks for the video.

[@dinamicrc]

exelente justo lo que andaba buscando , seria interesante hacer la comparacion en las versiones de 4 puertas

[@ohroonoko]

5:00 my 95 Bronco’s rear bench folded up similar to the Jeep but better: it folded almost totally flat into the foot wells. About as good as removing the seats. The rear space was cavernous. It’s really too bad the new Bronco abandons that solution.

[@austinw8285]

Hell yeah bro

[@c4onmylip]

I prefer the fold and tumble design Jeep still uses because the seat is still usable as a garage chair or something after you pulled it from your vehicle. Great idea for an aftermarket solution for the bronco back seat would be for someone to design a bolt on plate that takes up the foot print of the OE back seats but adds the loops and dimples for a fold and tumble seat to lock onto it. You could probably even do a 50/50 split tumble seats back there so you can pull one and leave the other for more versatility.

[@drivenmad2089]

I actually added a goose gear plate system that let me keep one seat and get rid of the other for a flat Load floor. I made a video in it if you want to check it out. Thanks for watching!

[@williekenk]

This was a perfect walk through. Really wish the fold down process and hump in the Bronco wasn’t such a PITA. That extra space with the seats up allowing for room for that cooler is clutch, but I think I’d still need to drop the seats regularly and that hump seems difficult for dogs to get comfortable back there and makes stacking stuff a puzzle. I also cannot believe Ford didn’t make those seats easily removable. Maybe down the road we’ll get another LJ type Jeep, or Ford will make easier seats to work with. But if it was my money today. I’d probably be going with the Jeep just for ease of use.

[@drivenmad2089]

Yep. I really wish ford would've made the seats removable like the wrangler and then it would be perfect. but the hump kills it. Thanks for watching!

[@bryceyoungson5056]

Can you please measure the diagonal length of the Bronco trunk with the seats down and the tailgate closed? Thank you.

[@stratman103]

I really liked how easily the back seat comes out of the Jeep. That's one thing I miss on my Bronco.

[@drivenmad2089]

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

[@Krystof.Veritae]

Another thing is not having a opening handle for the back door from inside on any of these ....for someone who likes to camp and sleep inside of these that would be a big one trying to clime out of these through the from doors in the mid of the night or morning kinda sucks ...... I have that in my FJ Cruiser a mod that i found ....very very practical . Great review btw .... I'm thinking about the 2 door Bronco as well and trying to figure out the space for a sleeping pad and ability to do so .....definitely would have to remove a seat and push forward the passenger side while camping .

[@drivenmad2089]

That's true. being able to open the swing gate from inside would be nice! Thanks for watching!

[@geographyinaction7814]

If you're at base camp and want to leave in the vehicle for an hour or so, you can leave AND take your camping/overlanding partners with you by folding the seats back up. In the Jeep, you've left that seat at home. Just something to consider.

[@racheldempster6655]

Another good video with good information . Sounds like you have a touch of a cold, I must admit I am not a fan of the back seats in your Bronco, as you said the Jeep is so much better at folding down the back seats than the Bronco a lot more work involved with the Bronco. I thought you were going to do a review of your fridge , I am looking at the iceco fridge for my 2022 Rubicon extreme recon package

[@drivenmad2089]

Yep my allergies were kicking in haha. and I plan in doing a review for the fridge at some point just gotta figure out the right format to make sure its a solid review. Thanks for watching!

[@adamj2281]

I may have asked or saw this elsewhere, but I've got a 4 door Wrangler and always have debated a 2 door, the 2 door Bronco seems like the perfect size being a bit longer. I think you tried fitting a mountain bike into the JL or Bronco, does it fit with the front tire removed and passenger seat folded forward?

[@hphillips7425]

The access to the rear from the passenger side of the gen 1 Broncos was very easy

[@jasonstorie8740]

I’ve had two bronco 2’s and I’ve got one of these in two door ordered but my little bronco 2 had more usable cargo area because the seats laid totally flat like the Jeep and that is a 1987 bronco so they have done it before! Yea I was a little disappointed when I saw this in person

[@Theoloop]

Really good info/comparison. Shame the back seats of the bronco doesn't come out as easy. Back when I had a TJ I had the bench out 99% of the time anyways so if I get a bronco I'd probably do the same.

[@drivenmad2089]

Appreciate it! And yeah I actually just took out one of the seats with a goose gear plate system and installed a fridge slide so fixed part of the problem haha Thanks for watching!

[@mmaxx9915]

Build the back seats like the Honda element. Flat rubberized floor, flip up and removable seats. I've never owned a more useful configuration in a SUV.

[@mbiker345]

I am enjoying seeing these compared so closely. Which one do you prefer now that you have had both? they seem quite similar to an outsider but I expect that they are not when you daily drive em for a while.

[@drivenmad2089]

Still deciding. there's a lot of back and fourth going on haha Thanks for watching!

[@Carlos_Valentino]

Wait wait wait. Hold up. I have been driving my 2Dr outerbanks bronco with the seats folded down 95% of the time so I can let my dog run around in the back freely. I could tell she was not a happy camper bc the seats didn't fold as much as the last SUV. They have slight angle or slope, until you just showed me the bottoms fold up and then you lay the back side down. Whhhaaaat?? Why did I not know this?? I have watched so many bronco videos , I am a day one reservation holder. I thought I knew everything about my truck and then you just taught me something new. I immediately ran down stairs into my garage at 1am to test this out and make sure this was true. Yup the seats fold down even more. My dog thanks you. Her back legs would shake from constantly having to stand on a slope everywhere we went. She is going to be so happy she can't stand correctly. She loves her car rides. Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@roscoejones4335]

The Bronco both 2 door and 4 door should absolutely have removable seats. People would buy them alot more for so many uses. Some might even choose the Bronco over a truck like me if it did. Cmon Ford lets get it!

[@bigworldparty]

Has anyone tried unbolting the Bronco rear seats, including the seat brackets, to get a more flat floor space? Assuming seat brackets are held down with some bolts, accessible by removing some of that plastic trip over the brackets?

[@drivenmad2089]

You can it just wouldn’t look neat I’m sure. GoosGear actually makes a platform to allow you to do that. I have it in order and it will get rid of one of the rear seats and keep the other one but be a flat load floor.

[@joshgonzalez2112]

From having both each do things better than the other, bronco has more space leg room arm room and drives way better on the highway. My old JL feels lighter more movable. And towing with both and Jeep feels sketchy vs the bronco. But not like the bronco should two more than 6000lbs. And the seats are way better than the wrangler. Jeep parts are way cheaper. I like both and currently in a bronco. Both of mine were 4dr.

[@ryaandnice]

That is an actual shame about the Bronco seats. Tumble forward AND quick removal are key. Different but the same, we had an old Sienna mini van that had great back seats the tumbled and removed and that van worked harder than most of my friends f150s. We “upgraded” to an Odyssey and the seats suck - very similar design to the Bronco. Not sure what the engineers are thinking on decisions like this.

[@drivenmad2089]

Yeah if the broncos seats did what the jeeps did while still keeping the 50/50 split, it’d be perfect. Thanks for watching!

[@JoseP-hj5zo]

Just to put it perspective . The original 66-77 Bronco is the undisputed king . But space and entry ease to the back seat is dismal . Today’s 2 door is a great ergonomic improvement .

[@kenwilliams4086]

The early broncos had a lever on the side of the passenger front seat. Pull the lever and the seat slides forward and tips up. It is so easy I could operate it on my mom's bronco and I was 4 years old. Ford intended passengers enter and exit the back seat from the passenger door, not the drivers door so passengers aren't existing onto a street when parallel parked. I suspect the passenger seat of the new bronco slides forward more than the driver's seat as it doesn't have the steering wheel in the way.

[@stevelouie5928]

they probably made the rear to fit 2 full sized check in luggages. on my x1, a full sized luggage just fits by the skin of it's teeth. pretty sure it was engineered that way. for sure it would be a deal breaker for most people.
