Is The Future of The 2-Door Wrangler Looking Bleak?

[Fast4by]

Can you get a 2dr 392?
Can you get a 2dr XR?
Can you get a 2dr 20th Anniversary Rubicon?
Can you get a 2dr with the new vinyl seats/floors?

The writing is on the wall

Thats why I made my own Sahara / Willys / Rubicon / XR with take-offs bought mostly from this site LOL

I assume that it's only a subset of the XR goodies, right?

Yes... just the wheels / tires and Spare Tire Carrier / Reinforcement. I already had installed Rubicon springs & shocks with a 2.5 spacer, otherwise I would have grabbed the suspension off one too.

some things need to be done because it's "the right thing to do" (like keeping the 2 dr Wrangler), not because it's the profitable thing to do..............

What will the peasants buy if they get rid of two door Sports with roll up windows, two inch radios and that great "tried and true" manual transmission with all the recalls?

Something also worth considering, there are more people who truly want a 2 door than those who have them. They went to look at a 2 door, really wanted one, but for practical reasons ended up with a 4 door. So, the 2 door still serves a purpose in drawing people into the dealer.

I suppose it's a shame that not everyone can afford (or maybe they're just living within their means), a $60,000 JLUR ................

I'm amused that there are those that believe many buy a 2-door because they "can't afford" a 4-door, when in reality - at least in my case - I never cared for the looks of the 4-door, and only ever considered the 2-door (to park next to my Porsche)

I bought my 2 door Willys because that's what I wanted. I could have bought any Wrangler Jeep was selling at the time. I seriously considered a Raptor, but I already have a perfectly good truck. So I decided to keep it and buy the Jeep I that wanted.

This picture…

Reminds me of what happened when…

Sad.

Why was that yellow Rubicon chosen a foreign market RHD market model with low fenders, 32s and a weird bumper?

As a few others have said, I believe there will always be a 2 door, but I also think we may continue to see fewer trim levels in the future. Maybe even ending up with just a sport and a rubi, and no special editions.

Couldn't the opposite be just as plausible?

@Ratbert

Could very well be.

However, I’ve had many conversations with people who will say something like, I really like/wanted the 2 door but…

I find it somewhat amusing that there are those who would equate a 2 door with poverty. It doesn’t bother me one bit.

"For financial reasons"?? Please...
