Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The "incredibly" realistic driver's cabin with its doors that can be opened, the tilting engine bonnet, providing a view of the engine block, the foldable rear-view mirrors, and the Many add-on accessories, which give the its chrome look, make this Mack truck a true feast for the eyes of every truck fan. When used as a garbage truck, this truck manages to fascinate children with recycling and garbage management. A garbage truck with side loader is the economic solution for one-person garbage pickup. Based on the Mack Granite series, this vehicle meets all the requirements of modern garbage management. An extendable lateral lifting device grabs the bins before emptying them without the intervention of another person. Two worm extruders transport the garbage to the interior loading container, which can be emptied by tilting the tailgate; the tailgate will lock in place when opened.

Bought this for my 3yr old son who loves to go outside and wait for the garbage truck once he hears it many homes away. I was drawn between the Bruder Man and Bruder Mack models, but am pleased that I went with the Mack since my son loves opening the doors to put a driver inside the truck. It is bigger than expected and although plastic, it does seem durable. Surprisingly, since getting the truck, there does not seem to be an urgency to find or follow the (actual) garbage truck (that comes to our house) should we miss seeing it in the morning. My son seems to be quite content having his own side loading garbage truck to play with everyday. Looking to buy the additional rubbish bins to add variety and additional garbage pick ups :)

We got this for my 2 1/2 year old son. He loves it but it's not quite 2 year old durable, we should have waited a little longer to give it to him. I do like the larger size and realistic features.

2.0 out of 5 stars Trash Truck, December 4, 2010

I bought this trash truck for my 4 year old grandson. He LOVES trash trucks and has several large ones like this one that are tonka. He likes this truck, because he likes all trash trucks, but the side loader is not really functional. When he loads up a trash can and flips it to empty, it won't flip the lid open and unload correctly. He has to hold the trash cans and unload them into the top himself. His other trucks unload like "the real thing." This truck was a lot of money. The best thing about this truck: it holds alot of trash and has a neat compacter where you can push the trash into the hopper. He does enjoy playing with it.
