Built Toy Truck Tough! (shameless huckerstering)

submitted by SFOGuy

9 years 6 months 3 weeks ago

When I was a kid, the fantasy running through my head was always that my Tonka truck was as tough as the construction pay loaders and trucks working down the street... Can't even remember the number of times my toy trucks moved mountains, dug out canals, built forts...

Three thoughts about this shameless commercial, which I love (and I've never owned a Ford and never even owned a truck)...
1) Woman engineer on the Ford truck project. Cool
2) I really, really wanted to see the trucks carry that damn truck once they had it loaded and
3) Tonka...what were you thinking? How in heavens did your people NOT grab this opportunity? and vindicate all my dreams!

When I was a kid, I had a 'Mighty Mo' dump truck. It had a flywheel 'motor' that you pushed to build power, then it drove on at 3 mph for about 15 ft. It was WAY tougher than any power wheel, and a fleet of them could have carried that truck while moving. I think the power wheels might have lost their wheels if they tried to move.
