2 Door or 4 Door? Which do you prefer?

You forgot to put "Which would drag the other?"

-.- ha

Don't we already have a thread on this??

I think that thread is which do you have.. this is preference.

^^^ thats what I was thinking...it was started like a year ago, or somethin...

2door>all... But Im bias... 4 doors are for family cars and rallying...lol

My 89 is 2 Dr my 2000 Jimmy Diamond Edition is 4 Dr. I like both for different reasons.

I prefer 4drs. More room for people, gear, tools, etc. Doesn't just have to be family. If you are going out with friends, etc, it is just easier to fit 4 adults into a 4dr than a 2dr plus no one likes riding b**** in the back of a 2dr!

lol you did end up starting this. two door for me

I prefer the 2dr, but Im bias. See I had a 92 regular cab long box sonoma so even my 2dr seems HUGE on the inside.

I prefer the 4 door for rear accessibility, and I like the little longer wheelbase. I camp out in the back of mine, and getting out to pee is much easier to do on a 4 door in the middle of the night. I also carry 4 people sometimes for going golfing, or if me and bud take some chicks fishing and swimming for the day, its just better for me to have a 4 door. Plus you dont beat up the interior trying to get things in the back. And sound systems sound boomier in 4 doors cause the internal volume is larger.

Rear liftgates are nice too! Can't get one of those on a 2dr!

I prefer the looks of the 2 door, but I like the extended wheelbase, and easier accessibility of the 4 door. Not to mention, the 4 door is a 5 passenger, while the 2 door is only 4.

And their is NOTHING wrong with the lifgate/tailgate combo. How many of you liftgate guys can use it as a seat? exactly. :p

Um 4dr duh!

Just sit in the back... Besides, how many of you 2dr guys can sit there when it's raining? LOL:icon_couchhide:

If I had a 4dr... Id have a lot more damage while off roading...

i like them both, but i bought a 4 dr for the extra room for my dog. I lay a blanket back there and he loves it.

+ 1,000,000

I can get places with my truck that fullsize guys wont even dream about!!

If it's drizzling, the liftglass offers plenty o' protection. Besides, it won't matter what kind of gate you have in a downpour. Nobody wants to sit back there, then.:icon_teeth:

I have lost track of how many times I've had to put on my gear at a fire call in a down pour and it is amazing how much drier I can stay with that liftgate!

I just can't win...
Never argue with a cyborg, lol.

i like my 2 dr for daily driving but would love a 4 door full size.

my reasoning... parking!!!! parallel parking my 2 door is so simple that i laugh when i see small spots that others pull past.

To be honest, I personally don't see the 2 doors as easier to park than the 4 doors. I never had an issue parking my mom's Bravada. The turning radius seems larger, but I guess learning in a Suburban makes the difference meager to me.

i drive my 2 door and my mom's envoy xl almost daily.. (when i run around doing errands i drive hers to save me gas) and i can park mine in smaller spaces than most people in sedans try... you just have to know the angles. all parking around my neighborhood is parallel parking which makes life a b***h if you can't do it.

I hate parallel parking. Not that I can't do it...

As far as on the trail, the 4dr is less than 6" longer (176.8" vs 183.3" long), and has ~9" wider turning radius (17.6' vs 18.3'). The wider turning radius could be the difference between backing up and not, but 9" isn't much.

For comparison, the GMT360 have a 18.2" turning radius, but they are 193.4" long which makes them ~17"/11" longer than the 2dr/4dr s-series. They have a 113" wheel base which is 6" longer than the 4dr s-series (107") and 12.5" longer than a 2dr s-series (100.5").

yeah.... the gmt360 lost me (unless you mean your Ranier or k5)

That's the platform the TB, Rainier, Envoy... are on.

this \/\/\/\/\/\/

ok, i don't pay that close attention... oops. my bad

ZR2 + Xtreme = win.

Yep! From High riding offroader to Low slung sport cruiser. The 2 door has it covered.

I can't stand the 2drs 45 degree rear glass. So I have to give it to the 4drs!!

having a child i'd have to say 4 door ftw

ill go with a 4dr not just on my blazer but on any car. I don't like leaning over or getting off to let people in my ride not that there's anything wrong with that. But I have a family so a 4dr is just right for me.

4 door.
I cart my laptop & a lot of work stuff. I prefer the convieniance of opening the rear door & dropping the laptop behind the drivers seat & dumping the other stuff on the rear seat. Retrieving it is easier too.

That 6" would have cost me 2 side windows by now... And that slant window saved me from a branch a few weeks ago.

I quite like the design of the 2 door rear glass. it makes the truck look less like a block(IMO). That's why I despise the looks of the 2 door Exploders.

4dr ftw. Like kiwi said, if you have something like a laptop it's so much easier to just open the rear door and lay everything down in the seat. It's also more convenient if you tend to drive people around a lot.

I like watchin chicks get in the back of the 2 doors...hehehe
