Editorial Review

The name Tonka means "big 'n' chunky" to many people, and this dump truck doesn't disappoint. Even the plastic chassis and front end are sturdy, and the tipping truck bed--itself nearly a foot long--is a solid slab of yellow steel. The tires are almost 5 inches in diameter and can ride confidently over any random pile of lesser toys. This is not a vehicle with a great deal of sophistication--the truck bed tilts, and that's it--but it is one that encourages, and can take, a lot of rough use. --Richard Farr

I have a very typical little boy and he loves this toy! He has has almost every toy dump truck on the market and none can hold up to this one. He loves it and so does his sister. He started out pushing her in it and now they use it when its time to pick up leggos.

First of all this truck is large. The very size of this truck makes an impact and is part of the reason why it makes an enduring toy. The size allows your child to ride on it, to carry sand from the sand pit and things like Lego pieces. The size also makes it hard for it to be left, forgotten, in a corner. The truck is well built with no sharp edges and is very durable. My son has not managed to break it yet. As for the downsides, it is a bit hard and some of the corners could be a bit smoother. I sometimes worry that if one of my kids would fall and hit their head on it that it could hurt a bit. But, I guess, that would be true of most toys. So overall it is a great toy. Highly recommended if your kid is into things with wheels.

This review is from: Tonka: "Mighty Dump Truck" - Steel 16" Construction Vehicle (Toy)

My 3 and 4 yr. old boys love to vroom this truck around outdoors. It is VERY durable and easy for the little ones to push and watch in glee as it quickly rolls down hills. We take it camping with us, and the boys love to navigate it through dirt paths. This toy has been a great hit in our family. One word of caution, it is a very METAL and HARD toy, children under 2 could bump themselves (or be bumped by another tot) with its hard contours.
