Product Description
Young engineers are sure to have hours of fun with this authentic-looking dump truck. Giant wheels make even the most rugged sites accessible. Indoors or out, the Mighty Truck gets the job done. Crafted in theTonka trucks tradition, this dump truck is made with steel, rugged plastic and guaranteed for life.Editorial Review
While many classic toys are now mass-produced using cheaper materials (primarily plastic), this Tonka truck’s quality construction is preserved. Although the wheels and frame of this dump truck are made of plastic, it is of a heavy, durable weight and suitable for the muddy or wet territories that this truck is sure to encounter. The dump bed, however, is made of heavy-duty steel–just the way parents will remember this toy. This massive truck measures 18 inches long and is a hulking 11-1/4 inches tall with an enormous dump bed that can haul and dump overwhelming piles of dirt, cedar chips, or toys. A plastic handle on the front of the dump bed provides a sturdy grip for tilting the bed to drop a heavy load and ease the bed back to a horizontal position again. Rugged 6-1/2-inch tires enable this truck to scale (and potentially flatten) towering mountains of sand at the beach or rocky, mountainous terrain at the park. Tonka stand behind the durability of this toy by covering it with a full lifetime warranty. –Cristina Vaamonde

HEY HEY ROCKET BOY! Oh yeah. Let me tell you when I got this awesome truck, truck, GOOSE! in the mail. I opened it up and wrapped it up for my little brother’s birthday, but you know what? I couldn’t help myself. I had to play with the truck myself to make sure it was cool enough for him. GUESS WHAT?! IT WAS TOO COOL FOR HIM! IT WAS A BIG BOY TOY! IT’S MINE! HAAAHHAAHHAA SORRY LITTLE BROTHER! I GET TO DIG IN THE DIRT! NOT YOU!

I try VERY hard to buy toys made in the USA. I ordered two of these and about fell backwards when I looked at the bottom of the box and saw those words I cringe at: MADE IN CHINA.
These trucks were to be donated to Toys for Tots (let’s be GENEROUS, please) but I’m going to ask someone else to bring these and I’ll be buying toys locally to ensure they’re made in the good ole US of A. I’d be mortified to be seen with a “MADE IN CHINA” toy when the majority of the children in my area have parents who are now begging for help because their jobs were downsized to other countries… especially China.
Why can’t we add another line on Amazon to state where an item is made? Buy American, keep jobs here. And give to Toys for Tots and your local food bank or shelter, please!!!

My friend’s one-year-old stood in front of the truck, supporting himself with his hands on the big handle, and his weight caused the truck to flip over (rotating on its front wheels) and smack him on the head. It is recommended for children 3 years and older. You can ignore my ratings, as I have no idea how it rates. I just wanted to warn people about this potential problem if they have small/young children that might be around the toy.

This was a beloved birthday present for our son. So much fun. Until he dismantled the whole thing and I contacted HASBRO about the “guarantee for life”. They sent me a shipping label and we sent it back, but 6 weeks later still no truck. Upon contacting them they said they had not processed it yet. Eventually we received a plastic, small truck in the mail via FEDEX but we refused shipment. I just got off the phone with HASBRO and they have stopped manufacturing this truck altogether and all those “guarantees’ are worthless now. They offered to replace the truck with several other items but I asked for a monetary refund. My money will go to some other company from now on.
SO while this was a fun toy for a few weeks, it didn’t last and the reason we bought it- the guarantee- was false.
