Q: The first part of the description for the dump truck says it's 21 1/2 inches long when in fact, the description below that says 8" x 8" x 4". Very misleading.

This steel classic is made of plastic and doesn’t function. It feels very flimsy and can’t actually scoop up any dirt. Very disappointing.

Bad - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
Front wheels are stuck to body of front loader. Loader itself Looks good, with metal and everything but This is really bad engineering and I am wondering if any of the members of the company checked it before manufacturing. Did they liked what a poor design they were able to make!

We have just about every truck you can imagine and this is one of them. Definitely made well. I’m sure it will get plenty more use but this is currently used for pushing around the house and sitting on top and scooting everywhere.
Cab metal but nothing else. Not like the old one

Front End Loader - 2 years ago
I have always purchased tonka trucks because they last the test of time. I purchased the front end loader for my grandson who is 6 yrs old for his birthday. After 2 days of rolling it around on the living room floor the wheels came off and the steel rod fell out and creating a Safery Hazard. Plus the loader part is all plastic and breaks easy. I emailed the toy manufactor to alert them of the design and safy issues. I hope they recall this toy. I would not have given it any stars for rating.
