Most toy tow trucks are aimed at preschool children and are commonly labeled "3 Years and Up." A smaller number of models specify suitability for younger toddlers (for example, "30 Months and Up").
Toy tow trucks are either battery-powered or non-powered (manual). Listings commonly indicate "Power Source: Battery" or "Power Source: Non-Powered."
The most common material is plastic. Some models use metal, and others list materials such as PVC or polypropylene.
Many tow-truck toys include a small vehicle or a character figure and sometimes small accessories such as hats or towing racks.
