Learn How to Remove the Ford Bronco's Doors and Roof, and See Cool Features

From Car and Driver

  • The 2021 Ford Bronco's doors and roof can be removed, similar to the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator, but its fenders can also easily come off.

  • A tool kit is included in the Bronco's glovebox that has everything owners will need to get the open-air experience.

  • This is a two-door Badlands model equipped with the off-road-focused Sasquatch package. The two- and four-door Broncos go on sale in the summer.

It's no secret that the 2021 Ford Bronco is after the Jeep Wrangler. To truly compete with the popular off-roader, the doors and roof can come off the new Bronco, too, but owners can also remove the fender flares, grille, front fender, and quarter-panel to swap them out and customize their rig. There are also a few other cool features on the Bronco, such as hidden logos and loads of off-road equipment. We got our hands on a 2021 Bronco Badlands two-door model equipped with the Sasquatch off-road package to see what the revived off-roader is all about.

To remove the Bronco's doors and roof, you'll need to use the provided tools that are found in a cloth case that's inside the glovebox. There's even a Bronco logo on the case. The tool kit includes a 1/4-inch drive ratchet and the necessary attachments. Once all the hardware is removed from the truck, it can be stored in a small zip-up compartment inside the kit.

On the Bronco, there are two bolts on each door that need to be removed as well as a wiring harness that needs to be unplugged and then plugged back in once the door is removed. Make sure to lower the windows before removal as well. A perk of the Bronco's door removal is that the mirrors stay attached to the truck—the Jeep's come off with the doors. There's a handle underneath the door to help lift it off the hinges more easily.
