We took a BRONCO to ICELAND! | The Legend Returns

Iceland was one of the first countries that Bronco was sold internationally back in 1966. It was the perfect vehicle for the harsh climate featuring the capability of a 4×4 vehicle while boasting the creature comforts of an enclosed, heated cabin; much needed for Iceland’s harsh winters. However, toward the later part of the century, Bronco ceased to be available for sale and hasn’t been available for sale (at least new at a dealer) since. So with that in mind, we set out to return the new Bronco to Iceland for the very first time.

    Amazing video that captures the Bronco Nation culture. Iceland or America. Astounding visually and was sad it was only 17 minutes long. My favorite part was the engineer. As a prior US Navy Engineman myself I really respected his curiosity. He was so proud of the hat he was gifted. That was a generous act of kindness. Great story Bronco Nation. Thank you for sharing this!

    Fantastic video, the engineer on that ferry was super curious about the new Bronco I'd bet he will be buying one as soon they are available to purchase, Icelandic people are super mechanically inclined , they are some of the warmest people you can meet, your filming, editing and narration was brilliant and on point, 1 week for your crew was really too short, as they say better some than none, maybe Ford will offer a standard heavy duty package for units being purchased and sent to Iceland and would be to Ford's and the future owners benefit 👍

    It's actually not that difficult to get your car to Iceland. it's actually MUCH cheaper to ship your car to Iceland from the US than it is to rent an SUV with the same capabilities and size of the Bronco. Example, if you rent the new Defender in Iceland during the height of the tourist season, it would be around $3000 to $4000 per week. To ship a Defender there from the US, it cost around $6K round trip. Obviously you would need to stay in Iceland for more than a week in order to offset the cost. I'm actually doing this next year. Will be in iceland for 3 months. But I'm speaking on behalf of someone that lives in the east coast. Anywhere else in the US and the cost does differ.

    Just food for thought introduce the 5.0 is back in the bronco once again for all trims in unleash the 7.3 Godzilla engine for the next leap maybe put it in the bronco r or even extend it across some trims in make sure you put those beautiful displacement numbers on the bronco like back in the day 302 5.0 in the new Zillabronco 445 7.3
