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.

You guys' what? And the apostrophe comes after the "s".
As an Icelander this video brought a little tears in my eyes. Just beautiful, the story, the connection. Just amazing video. Thanks for this. And yes, many Broncos have been owned in my family through out the years. All the best from Iceland!
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!
love this. Had to watch it twice in a row

Back in 1966 when the Bronco was a real Bronco , solid axles and all !!
it is amazing to see these vintage bronco models in an other country and the stories behind the scences!
I love that they subtly put the goats in with the Broncos. Very clever!
The interaction with the ship crew is so wholesome
Bronco nation should give that engineer a new Bronco he was mesmerized by it.
such great insight into The Icelandic Bronco story. Beautiful video and work, The Bronco Nation did in Iceland.

Two of the most beautiful things together, Iceland and Broncos!
Great story!!! I was fortunate enough to visit Iceland a few years ago. Amazingly beautiful place and friendly people.
Well done reconnecting old and new Broncos on such a fabulous place of our planet, thanks!
REALLY well done video. Loved the message. Loved the combo of cinematic and "behind the scenes" shots. Great narration. All around just really inspiring and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for making it!
It's one of my favorite places. I'm ready to go back.

I have a Sasquatched Badlands identical to the one in the video and absolutely love it. The BN videos have come a LONG way since showing aux wiring setups and door removals. This video and the narration are absolutely brilliant. Iceland looks beautiful and I bet that was the trip of a lifetime.
Absolutely loved this, well done. I've been to Iceland a couple of times and am always left wanting to see more.
Looking at those old videos of Broncos going through extreme terrains and even submerged to the height of the door windows make clear that vehicle was a working mule (better than a working horse). I hope the new generation will live up to the tradition.
Long life to Fomoco trucks , i really enjoy the video
Thanks for an amazing video and what a surprise of history unexpected. Amazing scenery and a great idea to tour a foreign country with the new Bronco! Even more impressive was the meet up with all the Gen 1 Broncos! Awesome!
Absolutely amazing video! Thoroughly enjoyed watching it - thank you for sharing! Cannot wait to finish my Bronco build!!!

Really cool, I wish new Broncos come to Europe, we need more offroad vehicles here.
wow glad to see the bronco again, when you passed through Vik in the south, I was working at one of the places where you slept and I was surprised by the car and all the recording material you had on the table, it was a surprise to find the video and the car. Great video and great job. Iceland is a spectacular country and if you like photography and off-roading, it's the perfect country
This was such a beautiful video!
one of the best videos ive seen recently, well done!
Very nice video for your bronco and Iceland, maybe you should make a video introducing your bronco, especially what’s your accessories and add on, love your roof rack.

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 👍

I’m a Jeep guy, but this was an awesome video and history lesson. I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on a Gen 1 Bronco and visiting Iceland.
I visited Iceland during the exact same period you were there. I originally thought it would be cool If i was able to bring my 6th gen bronco but it looked like too much hassle so I decided to rent there instead. I'm really surprised about the bronco meet up and the bronco popularity there! Great work on the video, it was awesome.

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.
Nice that you were able to get a Bronco. I ordered mine over 13 months ago, and still don’t even have a VIN number.
Great video BN 👍

Overall amazingly great video. I just took ownership of my 2022 Badlands after waiting a full year and a half - ready to get mud on the tires. For your footage are you using any luts or are you manually color correcting?
Only negative to this AMAZING video.... it could have been 60 mins long, and it would still have been to short. Great job Bronco Nation, Jordan and the person behind the camera, drone, and editing!!

Both bronco and view is amazing . Video looks like taken from Forza horizon 5. spectacular
Nice video and all but you don't need a Sasquatch package to do this lol. A base bronco would do this. I'm getting a Big Bend Bronco.
Amazing trip and amazing video! I was wondering how did you ship your truck from us to Iceland. I would like to do a similar trip with my Tacoma from either Canada or US east coast. What company shipped the truck and how much did it cost? Thanks a lot!
Im pretty sure my dad and his Bronco are in one of those old clips
Love the story and the video. Just curious was it a Badlands Area 51?
Thank you for this video, Ford. Now I know where to take my Toyota Fortuner.
Awesome adventure! What is a rough estimate to ship a truck to Iceland? How long does it take? and Which company did y'all use?
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
