2DR Bronco Vs 2DR Wrangler Rear seat and Cargo Space!

[@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!

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.

Thank you for clearly showing how to fold the Bronco seats down. I was trying to do it this morning and couldn't figure it out. You pull the lever twice, once for the headrest and again to fold the seat... didn't think of pulling that again. Much thanks!

Sold my old JK earlier this year when I lived in a house in Alabama. 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!

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.

[@LiberaceProtege]

For the entire section from 6:33 - 6:58 ..... That's what she said 🤣

[@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.

[@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.

[@Rafael-f4c6c]

I love my 2 door JL rubicon x and after watching this I actually appreciate my Jeep's seat design better than the bronco. BTW are you in the Houston area? It looks like Spring or Cypress there.

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 .

If you unbolt the rear seats from the 2dr bronco, is the floor flat?

[@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?

[@brkmen]

Does the Ford Bronco base model come with a soft top?

[@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

[@drivenmad2089]

The font seat can tilt forward and scoot up. They’d basically be in the position as if someone was getting in the back. So yes, if I understood your questions correctly👍🏻 Thanks for watching!

[@123rtrigo]

Anyone know if you can fit a pair of skis in the back of a bronco with the seats folded down?

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.

[@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.

Funny I’m seeing this now, I was in the market for either a bronco or wrangler, and the wrangler won for the simple reason that the seats fold flat, I have three big dogs so the back is pretty much for them

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!

[@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.

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?

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.

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.

So, i just ordered a 2 door willy.

[@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.

[@ethanfleming2187]

[@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.
