Tonka Mighty Fire Truck
As every firefighter knows, you need a reliable vehicle to successfully battle imaginary blazes. This authentically styled truck fits the bill nicely and comes with two removable ladders that slide into slots on either side of the truck, as well as an extendable, swiveling ladder with a pivoting bucket--ideal for positioning action figures or imaginary firefighters where the action is. Measuring approximately 19.5 inches long and 13.5 inches high, the truck rides on deep-cleated plastic tires that make it equally at home on the backyard dirt pile or the carpeted family room floor. Although the label on the storage box touts the truck's heavy-duty steel construction, only the front cab and the axles are actually made of steel. The remainder of the truck and all of its fixed and movable components are made of a sturdy heavy-duty plastic that will definitely stand up to the regular abuse a young firefighter can dish out.--Chris Burns
