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.

It was surely a pleasure to have you guys over. Great video. Thank you!
Thank you for everything, Ásgeir! You and your crew made the trip unforgettable!
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
Absolutely beautiful story of an unreal landscape and the people who live there. So cool watching this🙌
It was truly incredible!
WOW - Great video!! Two thumbs WAY UP to Ford & Bronco Nation for pulling this Iceland visit off so well. Had no idea of Iceland's automotive tradition, and their obvious enthusiasm for Bronco's a testament to the people of Iceland's adventurous spirit. Good on ya Jordon!! Cheers BN's Kenneth
Got to see this Bronco today at an Off-Roadeo Outpost. Was cool to see "celebrity" Bronco in person.
I love that they subtly put the goats in with the Broncos. Very clever!
it is amazing to see these vintage bronco models in an other country and the stories behind the scences!
Back in 1966 when the Bronco was a real Bronco , solid axles and all !!
Two of the most beautiful things together, Iceland and Broncos!
The interaction with the ship crew is so wholesome
Great video. I love Iceland. What a beautiful country and some of the friendliest people. Thanks for sharing the story.
Glad you enjoyed it. We agree, it is a wonderful country!
Absolutely loved this, well done. I've been to Iceland a couple of times and am always left wanting to see more.
Didn’t know how popular the bronco was in Iceland, first gen!
Bronco nation should give that engineer a new Bronco he was mesmerized by it.
Many positive emotions after watching this, even from an Icelander 🙂🙂🙂❤❤❤
What amazing vid.. ralrey seen such that pro edit. Gr8 job bronco nation👏🏼💯
Really cool, I wish new Broncos come to Europe, we need more offroad vehicles here.
Absolutely amazing video! Thoroughly enjoyed watching it - thank you for sharing! Cannot wait to finish my Bronco build!!!
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
Excellent Content - Thank You.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed :)
What a cool video,enjoyed it so very much, Love Bronco’s not so much the OJ Simpson Bronco or Bronco 2, but the old gals and the big Bronco. That had to be awesome to meet these folks🇮🇸
one of the best videos ive seen recently, well done!
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.
Very nice video! Love this community
Thank you!
Such an amazing documentary!
Nicely done. Loved the video and the story of the experience!
This was such a beautiful video!
Awesome video, Beautiful Scenery
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was incredible. Well done dude🤙
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.
This was epic
Excellent video, what a great trip! Keep up the great work!
Thanks a ton!
I want to see 3 hours movie of this!
Beautiful)
Thank you!! More to come
Love it
Amazing footage
Great video, didn't want it to end!
That's quite the compliment, thank you!!
Im pretty sure my dad and his Bronco are in one of those old clips
Great video! Would love to see others overseas Bronco adventures!
Thanks and stay tuned :D
Standing by. Still “In Production” 42 days so far…
Love the story and the video. Just curious was it a Badlands Area 51?
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!
Both bronco and view is amazing . Video looks like taken from Forza horizon 5. spectacular
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
New to channel...Love every shots absolutely magnificent 😍 Love from India...
Amazing video!
Well done Jordan! Impressive and heartfelt video. Now where can we find that roof rack? 😂
Thank you for the kind words! Rack is TrailRax TRMR Rack available right on our site with member pricing!
Thank you for this video, Ford. Now I know where to take my Toyota Fortuner.
ethan hawke was excellent and soundtrack
Inspiring!
Epic video! BN should leverage your lessons learned and host an Iceland event where members can ship our Broncos over and tour the country.
Stay tuned... we're not done yet ;)
@@TheBroncoNation Charter a container from Maine. We're in!
I would 100% be interested in something like that
Great video BN 👍
Thank you guys!! Glad you enjoyed :)
Iceland is definitely the place to go overseas!
Fjord……Fjirst on race day……..
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
What shipping company did you use to get it there and back?
Eimskip
@@yoyobase4638 thank you!
Kind of small tires for an Icelandic truck... 😂
What are those covers over your rear windows?
They're the PackRax from TrailRax, available on our site :)
Bazw Shax Wolf Moun Tain ❤️🌼
In Iceland wouldn’t it be called a Fjord Bronco?
Will there be an O J Simpson edition?
I think ford should look at this
With its bad valves! So unfortunate.
What legend? The Bronco was never a legend. There are only a handful of off-roaders that truly have a worldwide legendary reputation and one of them is the Land Cruiser.
Feel happy now? Nobody disses Land Cruisers. Thy have their own history.
You cannot go that far with that heavy suv without stopping for gas every 200 miles or so....
Don't worry Iceland, you probably can't order a Bronco anyway... and even if you could, would you have to wait 800+ days like some first day reservation holders? Who knows...
We can.. Theres already one here
@@kjartanB That is amazing!
Those off roads are better than the Main Roads in India 😂
such great insight into The Icelandic Bronco story. Beautiful video and work, The Bronco Nation did in Iceland.
Many thanks!
I have a green OB Squatch coming. Can't wait!!!
Woohoo! Can't wait for you to get it!
If you told me 2 1/2 years ago that I'd still be waiting on my DAY ONE REZ, I'd of told you "not a chance"; looks like we were both wrong.
tough times
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 👍
Long life to Fomoco trucks , i really enjoy the video
What roof rack is that?
The engineer is my granddad
That's amazing! It was such a pleasure meeting him, a highlight of our trip.
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!
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?
Love this, it was beautiful to see all those Gen I on the video. I'd have love to do that trip myself...❤😢
First and last time I was in Iceland was coming from Germany (USAF) we stopped to fuel up our C130J.
Would love to visit this country, now that I'm retired and old... 😂
How is this a “Gen 6” Bronco.
I count 4 generations:
1) 1966-77
2) 1978-79
3).1980-96
4) current Bronco
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.
We did Iceland few years ago on a 04 4runner with 33 no problems. So the new bronco with bigger tires I think didn't have a sweet.. overall nice video..
an epic adventure for real
Sorry, you were beaten, i have a friend in Finland who beat you by almost a year.
I wonder if OJ has one of these new Broncos. Do they come in white?
Great trip, great footage and, outstanding storytelling. Great blend of story + 6G in life. Broncos of Iceland Cruiser club meet up was quite lit.
Thank you!! Very lit indeed.
Did you have to pay any kind of import fee? I'm looking into doing the same for my vehicle and was wondering about other costs besides the shipping fee!
We did not since it was imported as a tourist vehicle for less than 365 days!
5k miles on ours and it's running strong!
Did you yourself take a ferry over as well
That’s so cool that he’s wearing his hat backwards very cool
That's not a bronco it's a highlander with makeup
It's one of my favorite places. I'm ready to go back.
What did it cost to ship to Iceland and bring back?
Have to admit, I had some goosebumps during the video. Really cool. For now I am working on turning my F250 into an expedition vehicle, but I do see a Bronco in my future :-)
Latest Bronco looks to be from 1953
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.
Thank you and bummer we missed you! Small world. You'll have to join us ~if~ we ever go in the future.
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.
Green, 2.7, 2 door basesquatch built this week😎👍
Heck yeah!
Loved the video and the experience!
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
"Sexy country"🤦🏿♀
