For years Tonka has stood for tough trucks. And one of the best trucks available today is the Tonka Toughest Mighty Truck. This great dump truck lives up to everything Tonka has stood for. It is sturdy, solid, and of course tough. Unlike other toy companies, Tonka has not fallen into the trap of using cheaper materials to make it’s toys. And that’s evident right away with one look at this truck.

Starting at the wheels you’ll find a heavy duty grade plastic that will not bend or crack. The bed is made from solid steel, no different than the truck I had as a child. It’s perfect hauling whatever your child needs to haul. Rocks, stone, sand, gravel, or even the pet hamster will not cause a problem. And the handle on the bed makes dumping very easy. This toy is made to handle whatever punishment your child can dish out.

The Tonka Toughest Mighty Truck is big. It stands 12 inches tall and is 18 inches long. Even the tires are big; 6.5 inches tall to be exact, meaning they can get out of the toughest situations such as being buried in the sandbox. And because it’s build so well, it comes with a lifetime warranty. Meaning if something should happen when it falls down a flight of stairs, you’re covered.

It’s also good to know that in spite of it’s toughness, Tonka has made it safe too. Rounded corners reduce the injury risk, it’s a sturdy three pounds, and wide enough to keep it and your child balanced as he runs behind pushing the truck.

I remember my first Tonka truck as a child in the 1970’s. It was big and yellow and it got a lot of play hauling dirt and sand. It was also involved in a lot of tragic accidents and survived, once coming out unscathed after a firecracker mishap. I outgrew the truck long before it was ready to go to the junk yard, but boy how we tried. I wish I knew what my parents finally did with it.

Tonka expects it’s trucks to have a rough life, and yet still offers a lifetime guarantee, so you know they are confident these truck can handle just about anything. If your child likes heavy machinery, the Tonka Toughest Mighty Dump Truck is a great gift this holiday season.
