Editorial Review
This motorized Tonka dump truck packs a surprising amount of activity inside its bright yellow, 8-inch-tall, 17.25-inch-long exterior. Three large buttons on the side of the cab control forward and reverse movements and the operation of the dumping bucket and power shovel. The truck's motor will rev and its lights will flash when it's moving, and, just like on a real construction vehicle, the horn will beep when the truck is backing up. The truck can also be moved manually, and two buttons below the dump bucket activate additional horn and motor sound effects. --Chris Burns

Customer Reviews

Better than the other Funrise Tonkas
After returning three defective Tonka Hands On Power Shovels, (aka crane,) we decided to try a different piece of machinery and brought home the dump truck. So far the dump truck is doing fine. It is not as exciting as the crane or digger, but it does work and seems to be holding up. My son loves to turn it on & have it "follow" him around the room. However the motor strains, and the truck moves very slowly, so I'm concerned that the load is too much for the motor. He likes the loading action of the front end shovel into the dump bed, and the dumping bed. He was disappointed that it doesn't steer like the crane did, but only goes either forward or reverse. But a working toy is better than an non-working toy, and I'm hopeful this one will be a keeper.

Lame
This looked durable but proved to be quite lame for my 2 1/2 year-old. It's rickety and there is no automatic power off. The batteries last only a few hours if left on. This truck also does not work well manually, it clicks and has no fluid movement- quite a disappointment. I bought the traditional Tonka the next week and we use this one to store other toys. The hand-push truck is a much more fun and imaginative toy.

too much fun
my two year received this as a very early Christmas gift from his nanny. he absolutely loves it. he caught on very quickly how to operate the truck and move pea gravel. too much fun. wish they had hid the on/off switch. the bottom is the first place he looks on all of his toys to make them "go go"
