BruderToys 02813 Mack Granite Flatbed Truck with JCB Loader Backhoe

My son loved it!! A year later and he still plays with. It’s extremely durable. Some of the pieces have popped off but are it was easy for me or my son to poop them back on. He has so much fun playing with it outside in our sandbox. It’s not too heavy for him to carry or drive around himself. The design and details are amazing. He loves that the doors and the hood semi open. I would definitely buy from this company again.

You have to know your kid and what your kid likes. My kid loves trucks with trailers, and he has good but not great fine motor skills. This toy has appealed to him more than some of the other expensive Bruder trucks have. It's a bit easier to work with than some of the other Bruder trucks. The side-arm garbage trucks require some very good fine motor skills to get the arm to go out, hook the can, and bring it all the way up and dump it. My kid got a bit frustrated with it. This truck, though, is simple enough that he can easily get the loading ramps up and down, can easily get the backhoe on and off, can get the cab hood up and down, etc.And, of course, once the backhoe is off all sorts of other things can go on the trailer. Lots of fun. As Bruder trucks go there's a lot to do with this one, and the cab doors open and close. For my kid that was very important. On our other Bruders the cab doors don't open, and if the kid wants to put a driver in there--well, you need to have doors that open.These Bruder toys are VERY well made and very precise, and seem to do best with kids who like careful, thoughtful, gentle play. If your kid likes to smash stuff, he's going to turn this into an $84 pile of plastic parts pretty quickly. These are NOT as sturdy as the Tonka trucks of old.This thing is massive, almost three feet long, and it does have massive amounts of the wow factor. When the kid sees it he is just stopped in his tracks it looks so impressive.

So I had been looking at Bruder toys for a while to get for my son. I was certainly hesitant, since they are on the pricey side. But this past Christmas one of the toys my son saw under the tree was this truck. First off, this thing is BIG. Which is nice, but when it is not being played with it takes up a good deal of floor space.This thing is cool! From a distance it looks super detailed, but from up close the details are rather crude. There is nothing wrong with that. It prevents easily breakable parts. And that is probably the best thing about this toy. It is meant to be played with. Things pop off or move instead of snapping. Then it is easily put back together. Everything works like the real thing, and the controls on the back-hoe seem to not even be there because of how well it is designed. We have only had this for a few months now, and I can't wait to see my son playing with this in the dirt and sand. I am very impressed, and will continue to buy and recommend Bruder products.

My grandson loves this. He is 3. There is a turning knob that already is almost broken off. I suggest waiting until a bit older for this.

Sturdy, well-made,detailed toy trucks . My grandson is obsessed with the Bruder line of construction vehicles. I think he likes these better than his Tonka trucks because they’re so realistic. I like them because they’re built to withstand rough and tumble play.

I purchased this toy from Amazon after my son saw it in a catalog of an expensive toy store. He continuously asked for it and I found it on Amazon at a cost significantly less than the toy store catalog. It arrived quickly and perfectly - no damage whatsoever, especially given the size of this truck! (This is a large truck about 3 feet long and includes a backhoe.) My son adores this toy and plays with it daily. It is made well - I have had very good experiences with the "Bruder" line of toys - made well, durable, and very realistic.If you have a child who really likes truck, you simply can't go wrong with this truck (or any other trucks in the Bruder line). I've found that Bruder trucks are more realistic looking, which is key for my 3 year old.Overall, I would highly recommend this truck.

The toy delivered was damaged. The fifth wheel trailer connection was broken (plastic).Arrived too late to return as I didn’t want to disappoint grandson on his 6th birthday. No way should the toy arrive broken. Disappointed.

The truck is Great,but it is missing 1 grey ramp. He doesn't want to send back,he loves the truck.is there anything we do?
