New Hess Truck


Well I thought I'd take the opportunity to post on a childhood favorite toy of mine The Hess truck. For those of you who don't know about this ill explain. The Hess gas stations Have released a toy truck for Christmas every year since 1964. The first couple ones were basic Gas tanker trucks and from there they have done everything from fire trucks to a tanker ship lol. I'm posting this because as a tradition my parents have got me one for as long as i can remember until last year. The reason why I didn't get one last year was because I thought I'd grown out of them and the fact of last years travesty of a truck. As things have transpired over the last year my nephew has played with my old trucks and he really seemed to like them so i had the idea to give him the new one for Christmas this year. So today I went out with my dad dropped off my sister and mom. Me and my dad did some arrends and one of them was pick up the truck for my nephew.
When i opened the box to put the batteries in the truck I was pleased to see once again a well built and classy toy. As usual the truck is solid and made well and the front end loader was surprisingly cool. The loader has a mot er and you can control whether it drives forward or backward. The truck has some cool looks and functions as a dump truck and the carrier for the front end loader. All in all they really made up for last years really bad truck and makes me want one for myself lol.In a time when toys tend to be cheaply built and retarded looking this truck is a gem of a toy. To any one who wants a cool toy and is not ashamed of buying a toy truck I recommend buying it for yourself or a younger sibling. Its alot of fun to play with.
