The Hess Toy Truck has been a holiday tradition since 1964. It’s been a tradition in my house since 2007. My mom started giving each year’s edition of the truck to my son every Christmas Our collection will grow this year to include the Toy Truck and Race Car that is this year’s design.
The truck has four-wheel spring suspension and a pull-out ramp that automatically activates a hydraulic sound. The truck cab features three more sound effects and flashing lights. The truck’s flatbed trailer carries a race car. The car, modeled after an American stock car, sports a pull-back racing motor.
This year’s Hess Toy Truck and Race Car goes on sale November 11, 2011 at participating Hess and Hess Express retail stores for $26.99 plus tax (while supplies last).
